  • This video walks you through how to make creamy and delicious oatmeal on the stove. First, I'll explain the basic ingredients, including why I prefer using old fashioned rolled oats over instant. And I explain why I like to use non-dairy milk for making oatmeal on the stove. I use almond milk. Then we move on to the cooking. You'll learn how many parts of oats to milk to water to use. I set a stopwatch and show you exactly how long it takes to cook oatmeal on the stove. After that, I share a simple topping idea (blueberries, sliced almonds, honey, and cinnamon).

    Recipe:
    The basic recipe serves one person, but you can easily multiply it. I use honey, but vegan options are in the video and recipe (sub maple syrup or agave).

    If you're here because you want to eat oatmeal as one component of improving your life by getting healthier and feeling better, I wanted to let you know that I've moved away from food blogging and into talking about Mindset and Manifestation because after my health journey, working in these areas literally changed my life for the better! 😊🙌And now I create content to help others do the same!
    If you want to learn how to manifest, then check out this video for my 3 step process: ua-cam.com/video/fsQVcViy1ps/v-deo.html
    And if you're already into manifestation, but you're wondering why it's not working, I've created this free training on How to Overcome Your Manifestation Blocks - Powerful Techniques the Experts Don't Share - get instant access here: thechiclife.com/overcome-your-manifestation-blocks-masterclass
    Happy cooking and I wish you your biggest, boldest, and happiest life! You deserve it!

    Hey, love the video! Just wanted to say that to reduce cooking time, try bringing your milk and water combination to a boil in the pot first, then add in the oats and other ingredients. Bring the heat down to low, and keep stirring. I find that it really helps shorten the time it takes to thicken!

I think it's either bcuz I'm using too much water or too much oats. I'm not the type to measure when I cook. But the best oatmeal I've ever had came from my old man. Gotta get back to making it like him & how I did when I was a teen. I'm determined to accomplish this task damn it! Lol!😂

    Thanks for this video - i would add " Cooking honey to 40 degree Celsius causes a negative chemical change that makes it taste bitter. Heat destroys the beneficial qualities of honey and by buying processed honey, which is already heated at a certain temperature, you are only making it worse. According to Ayurveda, when cooked, honey becomes equivalent to glue. The molecules tend to adhere to mucous membranes in the digestive tract, further producing toxins, called Ama (undigested food), which become the root cause of ill health. It contributes to congestion, weight gain, respiratory diseases, skin conditions, digestive problems and blood glucose imbalances.

Or if you like fruit, you can mix in fresh fruit or dried fruit. The possibilities are endless. I hope you find a way to enjoy it. Happy cooking. 😊

      I tend to have slightly smaller breakfasts, so I usually do 1/4 or 1/3 cup of dry oats. But I usually add a lot of toppings too, so that helps make it more filling. :)

      Me too!! I like it when the banana is still firm and not all mushed in. Though I usually cook it just till the bananas are warmed through. 😋My current favorite mix-in is goji berries!

    Can I avoid adding water and use just milk?

    • @TheChicLife
      @TheChicLife  6 років тому +8

      Hi Rahul, I have experimented with using all milk in the past. While you can totally do it, I found that I personally preferred a mix of 50/50. However, that's just how I like it. I definitely recommend trying stovetop oatmeal with all milk so you can see what you think. If you do, I'd love to know how your experiment turned out. Cheers! :) Diana

    Thanks for the tips and video. I do wonder, why are your chia seeds white? Mine are black.

    • @TheChicLife
      @TheChicLife  5 років тому +5

      Hi! Thanks so much for watching. :) From the times I've bought them at the grocery store, I've seen them both white and black. Though some stores only carry one or the other. I googled it a bit and apparently those are the only two colors they are naturally. As a side note, I found an article on Bon Appetit that says, "Look for seeds that are either a speckled black or white, but not uniformly brown. The Chia Co. founder John Foss explains brown chia seeds are immature seeds that haven't had a chance to mature properly, and this can result in fewer nutritional benefits and give the seeds a bitter taste." Hope this helps!

    • @SirenoftheVoid

      Thank you! So the colors represent different stages of growth then.

    • @TheChicLife
      @TheChicLife  5 років тому +3

      I believe both the white and black ones are mature, but it sounds like the brown color can indicate the seeds are immature. Not sure why. Silly plants! :) I did learn whilst researching this today that the flowers on the plant can indicate what color the chia seeds are/will be.

    It's probably best fresh every day, but is it possible to make this in bulk, put it in the fridge, and heat it up in the microwave throughout the week? Or do you think that makes it much worse?

    • @barbaramartinez9290
      @barbaramartinez9290 Рік тому

      I do this with steel cut oats using Alton Browns recipe here on youtube, make 4 servings and store in Pyrex 1 cup bowls to store in the fridge. I warm it up in the serving bowl with raisins or other toppings. Steel cut takes over half an hour to get to our preferred thickness so this works well for us.

    How much chia seeds did u add I’m having trouble finding the recipe it looks freaking delicious I really want to try it

    • @TheChicLife
      @TheChicLife  4 роки тому

      You can really use almost any amount you'd like. I'd start at a teaspoon and see how you like it, and then you can add more from there. I stopped worrying about putting in too many when chia pudding became a thing - that's basically a whole serving of almost all chia seeds. 😆Happy cooking! PS: I honestly don't usually measure this, I just sprinkle some in. 😉

      Yah ive heard chia seeds have good omega 3s, fibre and i believe i saw on some packaging that its also an antioxidant. Any amount added would be an extra something to add if your looking for some benefits. It doesnt effect the texture too much as oatmeal has the same consistency ive noticed.

    Do you add everything while off the stove or while on the stove. And do you use a low or medium flame

    • @TheChicLife
      @TheChicLife  Рік тому +1

      You could add it off or on the stove. I normally combine the main ingredients before turning on the heat. For me, I usually put the pot on the counter and add the base ingredients because it's just a little easier with how my kitchen is set up. I use a low or medium low flame, typically. It can vary stove to stove. You may have to test yours out to see what works best on yours. Hope this helps! :)

      If you want a more rice/grain like texture, you may want to look into cooking steel cut oats - however please note these take a lot longer to cook.

    Do you do 1/2 cup of oats and then 1 liquid cup of water? When I did 1 liquid cup it always comes out too liquidy for me. Can I use less water?

    • @TheChicLife
      @TheChicLife  2 роки тому

      Yes, I use one part oats to 2 parts liquid (1 part water, 1 part milk of choice - this helps it get creamy). The liquid usually cooks out as it goes, but you can definitely adjust the proportions to suit your preferences.
