How do you eat your oatmeal?

Fuzzipeg

I've just us some to make some buns, small cakes to everyone else.

I don't handle oatmeal well, which is a real shame because I really wanted to try it in Scotland. They serve it with brown sugar and whisky.

I eat my dry by the handful when I am driving in the car.

My kids like it with coconut oil, berries or bananas, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and a little brown sugar....or chocolate chips. Then, they have a lityle milk poured over it like hot cereal. Personally, I gag on oatmeal. I hate it, except in cookies. I found baked oatmeal to be a LOT tastier than the ploppy goop my kids eat. It's more cake like.

Good luck!

I used to eat oatmeal everyday for a long time and then I got VERY sick of it. Just the thought made me want to throw up. And then, just this year, I tried this whole "overnight oats" craze. LOVE IT! Cold oatmeal!!!! I know people probably still warm it, but I really enjoy it cold. You might too

I am blown away at the many different ways to eat oatmeal. I have the 1 minute oats from Quaker. Where would I find steel cut?

sometimes they call it "irish oats" ... rather than the flat rolled oats appearance typical of 1-minute oatmeal, looks more like tiny rice granules.

Pad of butter and a Tablespoon of brown sugar...every morning.

I usually use a little bit of low cal liquid Vanilla coffee creamer.

I love oatmeal and eat almost everyday in many diffferent combinations. I love it with coconut milk and a bit of shredded unsweetened coconut for example, or with fresh strawberries and a tbsp of dark chocolate chips.

Recently I found this recipe and has become my favorite so far:

Brownie Batter Overnight Protein Oatmeal

Overnight oats are awesome. There are so many recipes out there and some of them can be sweet enough for a healthy desert.

Gluten free plain mixed with Pb2 and flax seeds

Butter and peanut butter both strike me as strange additions to porridge. I like it with brown sugar, and if I'm pushing the boat out, cinnamon, sultanas and dark chocolate. I prefer it made with milk but if I'm making it for everyone I have to use water.

This is because Mr Garage is a purist. WATER AND SALT.

I mix yogurt and fruit in to my oatmeal after it is cooked. That way you leave Mr. Purist's portion alone and you can enjoy yours any way you like.

I am attempting to eat mine this morning and struggling...

I have some blueberries, cinnamon, and butter. It's not good. In any way.

What is a way to make it better, while keeping it healthy?

I add jaggery almonds raisins flax seeds milk in oats. Sometimes I add banana too

Colorscheme

I eat mine plain. I dislike any add ins, to be honest.

OhJazmine

I eat it with sweetener and cinnamon, usually with an omelet and bacon on the side.

laineybz

I put protein powder in mine and bake them into little "cakes". Very nice and filling.

fishshark

i love oatmeal but it never fills me/keeps me satisfied so i dont eat it... love maple brown sugar with walnuts/pecans or spiced apple.

geneticsteacher

My oats are going in the meatloaf tonight instead of bread/cracker crumbs.

Interesting thread. Never heard of overnight oats before.

aliblain

I make porridge with mine (I'm Scottish). I cook them either in milk or water, add a pinch of salt and some cinnamon. I serve with a little full fat milk and honey drizzled over.

aliblain

I actually found this thread really interesting- oatmeal really only means one thing to me, and that's porridge.

bpetrosky

With a spoon.

AudreyHaven

I mix it with vanilla yogurt, cinnamon and let it sit overnight.

not_my_first_rodeo

I make my own instant packets: old fashioned rolled oats, some of those ground into powder, a tsp of Chia seeds, and then a tsp of brown sugar to each packet. I make some up plain, some with 1/4 cup raisins or other dried fruit, and sometimes 1 tbsp of sliced almonds. I don't care for milk of any kind, but I've seen recipes online where you add in either powdered milk or non-dairy creamer. And then when I want oatmeal, I empty the baggie into a bowl or mug and add hot water. Way better than anything I've tried commercially.

Mashed banana's, cinnamon, and peanut butter(tiny bit of nutmeg if im feeling fancy)... banana bread oatmeal.

Some mornings ill throw ham and eggs in the oatmeal also which sounds weird since we usually associate oatmeal with a sweet meal but its a pretty amazing combination.

wolfalicemae

Why don't you just buy flavour packets? I cant go without my peaches and cream flavour ☺️☺️☺️

kekeke123

oh my goodness i loveee oatmeal!! my favourites are:

fall/pumpkin theme
30g quick oats
75mL pure pumpkin
half an apple
cinnmon
nutmeg
ginger
stevia
maple flavoured syrup (walden farms 0 cal is what i use)
raisins (optional)
protein powder, i use unflavoured(optional)
1 tbsp chia seed (optional)

coconut/tropical theme
30g quick oats
protein powder (optional)
mangoes and/or strawberries
greek yogurt
coconut extract
unsweetened coconut shavings (better if you toast them)
stevia

basically i add coconut extract and stevia to the yogurt and add the yogurt mixture and coconut shavings on top of my oats. then throw in some fruit.

you can add cocoa powder for choco oats, pb2 for a peanut butter flavour. topping with 0 cal syrups is always good. zucchini can be used to add volume, egg whites are also good for volume/protein (id recommend egg whites to get your protein in if you dont use powder), mash up banana and add to your oats (this probably works for other fruits too i dont know?). if you want more flavours you can also go to myprotein and buy flavdrops, apparently theyre good.

I make overnight oats--1/2 cup oats, 1/2 cup soy milk in a mason jar in the fridge overnight. In the morning, an extra splash of soy milk + berries--delish.

Ashtoretet

I put dried fruit in mine, but I've always liked the taste of Quaker oatmeal since I grew up with it. I do love McDonald's oatmeal, as was mentioned earlier. Even with the sugar added it's only 290 calories, a perfectly good breakfast for most people's deficits and maintenances.

Cookies. I make oatmeal cookies. Or I have it savory.
