I've had success using cold porridge as a tangzhong (pre-cooked starch paste used as a softening agent in Asian style breads) and it's worked well. Adding dry oats can also give a nice flavour but sometimes makes a gummy loaf.
Oh, that sounds interesting! I'm going to Youtube tangzhong and see what I can find (I learn recipes best from a combo of print and visual).
I ended up ordering the vital wheat gluten online, from Jet.com. I haven't seen it in GNC, which is the only health food store I'm acquainted with, but I'm sure I could find it "live" if I put some effort in it!0 -
I eat old fashioned oats 5- 6 days a week.... in fact its prepped in my fridge for the week as I type.
1/2 cup dry makes a cup, mixed with water, 1/2 banana, 1/4 tsp. of cinnamon, 1 tbsp. of chopped walnuts cooked in the microwave, yummmmmmy!!!!!
Works great for weight loss and wards off high cholesterol, and diabetes

I alternate between oats and sultana bran. Lots of great ideas in this thread, I'll have to try choc chips next time. I use quick oats with water and mix banana, strawberry, and rice malt syrup into mine.0

i eat steel cut oats ..i make enough for four days so all i have to do is heat it up because it takes a while to cook. i usually have it with some sort of nuts and seeds , sometimes add some craisins and always add cinnamon .. i started putting coconut /almond milk in it and it really adds to the flavor0

Current obsession is oatmeal (instant old fashioned, because lazy) mixed with cream cheese and blackberry jam. I also have made proats (vanilla protein shake mixed with the oats).
That said, I actually don't eat oatmeal all that often because I need a lot of it to feel full and by the time I'd done adding everything to it, it's like, 500 calories. There are a dozen other foods I'd eat for 500 calories before I'd pick oatmeal, so I really have to be craving it.1 -
I LOVE oatmeal and could eat it at every meal. I prepare it the boring way though. I microwave about a 1/2 cup full then add a little salt, sugar, low fat spray margarine and low fat milk. YUM!2

I eat the Aldi brand packet oatmeal. The brown sugar kind. Not too fond of the other flavors. I'll add a little peanut butter or half a banana if I have one that isn't too ripe and it will fill me up for most of the morning.0
