    I really like this recipe for scones. I sub out other things for the currants, but leave the rest the same. It's a dry, crumbly thing that's amazingly good with morning coffee, and insta dry mouth without a drink or sliced butter on top.

    If everyone's suggestions for other ways to make oatmeal don't work, then seriously, find other foods. You won't miss anything.

    Oatmeal rasin cookies.

    Ingredients:

    1 cup (230g) unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
    1 cup (200g) packed light or dark brown sugar
    1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar
    2 large eggs
    1 Tablespoon vanilla extract
    1 Tablespoon molasses
    1 and 1/2 cups (190g) all-purpose flour (spoon & leveled)
    1 teaspoon baking soda
    1 and 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
    1/2 teaspoon salt
    3 cups (240g) old-fashioned rolled oats
    1 cup (140g) raisins
    1/2 cup (64g) chopped toasted walnuts




    Directions:

    Using a hand mixer or a stand mixer fitted with paddle attachment, cream the softened butter and both sugars together on medium speed until smooth, about 2 minutes. Add the eggs and mix on high until combined, about 1 minute. Scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl as needed. Add the vanilla and molasses and mix on high until combined. Set aside.

    In a separate bowl, toss the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt together. Add to the wet ingredients and mix on low until combined. Beat in the oats, raisins, and walnuts (if using) on low speed. Dough will be thick, yet very sticky. Chill the dough for 30-60 minutes in the refrigerator (do the full hour if you're afraid of the cookies spreading too much). If chilling for longer (up to 2 days), allow to sit at room temperature for at least 30 minutes before rolling and baking.

    Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C). Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats. (Always recommended for cookies.) Set aside.

    Roll balls of dough (about 1.5 tablespoons of dough per cookie) and place 2 inches apart on the baking sheets. Bake for 10 minutes until very lightly browned on the sides. The centers will look very soft and undone. Remove from the oven and let cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. The cookies will continue to "set" on the baking sheet during this time.

    I just made Oatmeal pancakes for dinner last night! There are a ton of recipes for them. When I make them, I add sugar-free maple syrup to the batter for some extra flavor.

    I love oatmeal and this scone recipe sounds delicious! I have found many recipes for oatmeal, both rolled oats and steel cut oats, on the internet. This has become a very east, make ahead staple for breakfast for me.

    Wat is the calorie count for the oatmeal cookies? This recipe sounds as good ad the one on the Quaker oatmeal box which has become a standard in my family.

    If you really wanna eat it but can't stand the taste try putting it in a smoothie. For example banana, berries, milk and some oats. You won't taste oats at all.

    This. It thickens up the smoothie and you won't even know they're in there. Use a half cup of oats or so.

    I blend a banana with some milk and vanilla essence, and then stir in some oats and throw in a handful of pecans and some blueberries before heating it up. The banana milkshake combo makes it so creamy and the fruit and nuts add texture and flavour and oh god I'm making myself hungry just talking about it.

    Oatmeal great stuff properly prepared. I love steel cut oats with whole milk and heavy cream add in berries and bannas. Instant oats for me are like eating gritty tasteless mush.

    Thanks everyone..wow a lot of different ways to do this. As far as the milk supply I'm always trying to find new things since I'm nursing twins it's very hard for me to feed on demand. I've made those cookies and love them, but they are getting old.
