I can't make creamy oatmeal for the life of me.Something that sounds so easy and simple I can't do. Do you make it in the microwave? What kind of oatmeal do you use I have been using Old Fashioned Oatmeal. Help! I am so pathetic!!

Or just buy the instant packs. Just empty a pack in a bowl and add water and microwave. If you want them looser, add more water. I do not like milk in mine but perhaps add milk that might make it creamier.

Try making it with milk, or 1/2n1/2 instead of water. I like to put butter on the finished product.

I eat the old fashioned oats every morning. I cook it on the stove for 5 minutes. I make it with water and then pour in a little bit of almond milk after it's cooked to make it creamy.
Oatmeal gets thick the longer it sits, IMO. My husband makes his almost soupy. I don't like it like that. LOL

I agree - I also put the oats in with the liquid (I use milk) in the beginning rather than adding them after the liquid is boiling. I think it helps soften them up.

My Mom taught me to make creamy oatmeal(Avena). I use Old-Fashioned Oats and 1/2 water and 1/2 milk. You can use one or the other or a combination of both. The more milk the creamier it is. Add the oatmeal, milk/water and pinch of salt to the pot. You can also add fruit, cinnamon and vanilla.
Here's the key: Let it sit for at least 5 minutes before cooking. The longer it sits, the creamier it is. Works everytime! DH makes his the traditional way. You can see every flake and its never creamy. He doesn't like mine. He says it's like Baby Pablum. I love it! Hope you enjoy it too!

I use the microwave Quaker oats, water tastes terrible in it. I always use milk and that makes it more creamy and it tastes much better then water.
