Why is my porridge lumpy?
If your porridge mixture doesn’t reach the temperature required for gelatinisation, you get a grainy mixture of oats swimming in a liquid broth. If the porridge mixture is heated too high for too long, a similarly watery porridge soup results.
How do you make porridge less lumpy?
My advice: start out with a 1:2.5 ratio of oats to liquid. So for every cup of oats, add two and half water/milk. That’s a good start point. If you find that too stodgy or too soupy feel free to adjust, but that’s a good starting point.
How do you fix lumpy oatmeal?
You overcooked the oatmeal, and now it’s all dry and clumpy. This is absolutely my most common error, and it’s easy to make! Luckily, it’s also easy to fix. Remove from heat, add more liquid (OR yogurt), and stir.

Why do you add salt to porridge?
An important thing so many people forget is salt. It adds depth to the porridge and will bring out the sweetness of any toppings – so add a pinch of the stuff as it’s coming to the boil and mix it all around.
How do you change the texture of oatmeal?
When you add your oats to the water determines the consistency of your oatmeal. If you bring your water to a boil and then add your oats, you’ll have a more textured, toothsome oatmeal.

Instead, it should have an al dente texture, similar to pasta. To do this, Mackenzie Ryan, a food writer and photographer for Food Above Gold says to, “Cook according to the package instructions, but use only 3/4 of the water amount recommended.”
