What is Oatmeal?

Oatmeal is a type of porridge made from oats that have been boiled in water, milk, or a combination of both. It is a popular breakfast dish in many parts of the world, and it can be served hot or cold. Oatmeal is often eaten as a healthy breakfast option due to its high fiber content and other beneficial nutrients. It can also be used as an ingredient in other dishes, such as baked goods, smoothies, and energy bars.
