Equipment

Ingredients

  • 2 cups rolled oats
  • 2½ cups water

Instructions

  • Add oats to a blender.
    A blender filled with dry oats before grinding.
  • Blend the oats until they turn into a smooth flour (see notes).

  • Add 2.5 cups of water to a pot and bring it to a boil over high heat.
  • Reduce the heat to a medium-low. Add a little of the oat flour and stir right away.
  • Keep adding flour and stirring. The mixture will thicken as the oats cook.

  • Continue stirring, using your wooden spoon to break any lumps. Stir until you have a smooth, homogenous fufu with no lumps.

  • For softer oat fufu, add a small amount of water (about ⅓ cup) after it has cooked. Cover the pot and let it steam for 3-5 minutes, checking and stirring from time to time, until smooth.
  • Once cooked remove from the heat, portion as desired and serve with your favorite soups and stews.
