- 1 cup rolled oats
- 2 tablespoons yogurt, kefir, whey, vinegar, or lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon whole wheat flour (you can also use spelt)
- warm water to cover
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 – 2 cups liquid (I use half milk and half water)
- toppings: pastured butter, cream, maple syrup, fruit (fresh or dried), spices (such as cinnamon or nutmeg), nuts, etc.
Any fruit with cinnamon makes a great oatmeal for me. Butter and cream are, in fact, a necessity at breakfast time. Sometimes though, I'll make steel cut oats for dinner with sauteed veggies, garlic, and Parmesan. So so good.

Hello! Thanks for the recipe. Do you cover the oatmeal when you cook it? What temperature do you cook it on?
I don't cover it when I cook it. I usually turn the heat to medium-high to bring the oatmeal to a boil, then turn it to medium-low and cook for 5 or so minutes. 🙂
This oatmeal is SO delicious! I was never an oatmeal girl – until this 🙂 I always disliked dry, clumpy oatmeal, but this is more like an oatmeal pudding – so creamy and good. I love mine with sliced bananas, walnuts, honey and cream. Thanks for sharing!
So glad you enjoyed it! Yeah, I didn't really enjoy oatmeal until I made it the way I liked it, not the way my dad does. 🙂
Bananas and peanut butter. Every time. It’s amazing! Although I do enjoy it with any fresh fruit, a handful of chopped nuts or seeds and cinnamon if I ever fancy a change. I love this recipe, by the way. My body and digestion always thank me for soaking and preparing food properly. I have finally mastered a great sourdough starter recipe and it’s working wonders for me, so I really wanted (given the amount we have porridge for breakfast) a great soaked oatmeal recipe, and I’ve found it! 🙂 I love so many of your recipes. Your baked oatmeal recipe is the only one I’ve ever liked (although I change it up slightly to make it lower in sugar), and the no-knead bread was one I made for many years and still occasionally do if I’ve not had the time to make sourdough! 🙂
Ooooh…yum! I love bananas + peanut butter.
Aw, thank you for your kind words! So glad you enjoy my recipes. 🙂 I’d really like to get into making sourdough. It’s so expensive to buy, and I know it would be easy once I got the hang of it…
This is a great idea! I’ll have to try this. Just an FYI, Bob’s Red Mill rolled oats are the best for oatmeal and granola bars.:)
Thanks for letting me know your favorite, Alyssa! I can’t recall if I’ve had Bob’s Red Mill oats before…
