Question
Hello. Is it permissible on Shabbat to put oats in milk or water and wait half an hour to eat it as a porridge? Thank you
Answer
Hello
It is forbidden to do so.
A mixture that forms on its own after a person places the ingredients is considered as if the person who placed the ingredients is 'kneading' the mixture.

Shulchan Aruch, Orach Chaim, Siman 321, Sif 12
One who places flaxseed or sesame and the like in water is liable for kneading because they mix and cling to each other.
