If you’re used to traditional chemicalized oatmeal that you’ll notice a difference when switching to the organic version. … It just cooks different. With regular, that is the regular stuff that throws pesticide caution to the wind, it comes together pretty quickly and you get that porridge consistency without any trouble. With organic, and I’m not sure for why, the individual oats don’t want to break down. Like they’re individuals and they want to stay that way. Yeah right. They just need more heat more mechanical action to get them to where they need to be.
So, and easy fix is to add your oats and then put in an extra third cup of water (I use 1/2 cup of oats and 1 1/3 cups of water). Bring this up to a boil then reduce the heat. While on a reduced heat work the oats using a fork. Bnd needless to say you will get burned if you do this incorrectly. Keep going until the oats attain the consistency you like.
After that it’s up to you. Blueberries really kick butt as an adder to the porridge. The warm against the cold, the mushy against the firm, the tart against the somber. All good.
