I’m Puerto Rican but honestly hands down - Dominicans make the bestttt avena for me!!! 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼

I love making this avena. The only difference is that I put my canela (cinnamon sticks) at the start with the water so the flavor gets in there. The lemon sends it to another level and less sugar for me but this is spot on.

If i was to choose who to represent the Dominican food it would be you 100% girl keep working hard i see big things going your way 👏👏👏

I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart♥️ when I first moved to Washington Heights, I lived with this Dominican family and I remember having an overnight job and when I would arrive at the apartment in the morning, they were leaving for work and they would always leave me a big giant cup of this and I didn’t know the recipe so much as I thought it was simply hot chocolate so I would try to emulate the recipe not knowing what actually went into it step by step. When I moved out I was obsessed with it and couldn’t find the recipe anywhere until coming across your video. A big thank you ♥️♥️♥️🦋🦋🦋🦋

So happy to learn this recipe..I used to buy do Dominican style oatmeal from the breakfast street carts in Washington Heights for breakfast and it looks exactly like this!

OMG! Yes! I'm so excited you made a video on Avena Dominicana because I can never get it right, so ...I personally love it without the chocolate.

This looks perfect for winter. I'm not Latina and I never heard of this, but I love oatmeal and spices. I'm gonna give this a try!

Aww thank you!!! This is hands down one of the most memorable comments that anyone has ever left me. Thank you so much for sharing. I'm touched and actually tearing up as I write this. Wow! Thank you again. Kisses & hugs to you and your grandkids!!!!!!!

I just made this with one minute oats & it works perfectly. They barely need to be pre-soaked. I like my oatmeal not thick but not smooth & creamy, so the texture of instant oats worked amazingly! Thanks for bringing my country 🇩🇴 back into my kitchen!!! 💟

Team no chocolate #loveavena

I just did your chocolate one and all I can say is OH MY GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And of course with bread!!! From the moment my brother and sister in law told me about this channel, I have been HOOKED! For lunch I’m doing your baked ziti!!!

Never heard or had this before but I just saved this video I would LOVE to have this for breakfast…. Warm & hearty !

The only way I eat avena is like that . Yumm

Excellent presentation on how to simply make avena. Your way of making it is so much like my parents. Avena and mangu with fry cheese was our thing back in DR. Thank you for it.

I made this and me and my grandchildren love it. Now my daughter has me making it all the time. Thank you, I haven’t had this in years and always wanted to know how to make it.

I’m so happy to have found this channel. I’m Dominican American but for the life of me I can’t cook like my mom or grandmothers. This is the way my mom made it with fresh baked Italian bread, that was our breakfast. LOL! Can’t wait to give this a go my self. Can you teach how to make Torta de maiz, please. ❤️❤️❤️

I love this. My Dominican mother in law makes this..... so good!!! Now I can make it!!! Really delicious!!! Thank you chef zee

Love all the recipes!!!!! Please please keep them coming. Much love🇩🇴

This is my first Dominican breakfast and I’ll definitely be making it again. Thanks Chef Zee!

Hay Dios mio, my Italian husband is going to be like, what the heck happened to you, with all these Dominican recipes? All I cook is pasta dishes, meatballs, lasagna, spaghetti. Now I'm making empanadas and fried chicken like grandma!😢😭 I never thought I could because I never learned because nobody taught me. Zee, thank you! I'm real deal Dominican now!! Hubs is gonna have to go to Olive garden for Italian now🤣

Wao! Mi abuela también me hacía avena, asimismo y me trae recuerdos de mi niñez.gracias!

This looks yummy! Gonna have to try this👍🏾

Yummmy can’t wait to make this thank u

Can't wait to try it

Yayyy thank you 🙏🏼 definitely will do the avena for my family this weekend thank you 😊 🥰🌹🌹

I'm so excited to try this!! I used to work at LaGuardia Airport and I'd get Avena (or Mangú) from LaGuardia Cafe about once a week. I've been missing it a lot since I've moved! Thank you for uploading.

I made the chocolate recipe yesterday and it was delicious. I had leftovers for today which I thought would be a gloppy mess. Wow, was I wrong!!! (So happy to be wrong) It's better today than yesterday. It's creamy, spicy, chocolate avena!!! YUM!!!! Thank you for this wonderful recipe. New Thanksgiving Day breakfast tradition - got you covered!!!!

Can’t wait to try this !

I love this recipe. Thanks chef 😁

I like it with Chocolate Embajador ( Dominican Chocolate ) that you can easily find in any Stop&Shop, Shop-rite or any Latin American supermarket.

Btw a few months ago I was going. To comment and ask you to make the Dominican avena recipe bc mine wasn’t coming out like abuelas does. But I felt stupid for asking to make an avena video like c’mon it’s just avena compared to all the delicious recipes you have so in sooo glad you did this. And btw, I now see what was missing, the lemon wedge lol

Love learning about different cultures etc and Especially foods! really nice🤗🥰🙏

You're welcome!!! If she hates oatmeal, definitely strain out the oatmeal pieces for her. She'll get used to the taste and as she ages you can try and introduce the pieces of oatmeal. My sister was the same way when she was little and now we fight over the oatmeal that's left behind from when we strain it lol

🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤 buscando como se hace la avena dominicana me salio este video .. me encanto 💖

Let me just say my son hates oatmeal because he is a Farina lover. But he loved it! Ask for seconds during his first spoon lol thank you so much I got him eat oatmeal finally thanks to you! 😁😁😁😁 Have a great holiday!
