    I have them raw in muesli when going for big hikes. Quick, fills me up and gives me energy for hours! Not a big fan of sloppy, mushy breakfasts!

    Yay!!!! I've been eating raw oats since I was a child and everyone said I was weird and called me a horse!!!! I still eat them as a snack sometimes, but I like the 1-minute oats the best.

    I don't eat them raw in a bowl, but I do eat them raw with potatoes sometimes. My wife is of Scottish background and her Scottish mom has this really simple but awesome potato recipe that we do...just boil new potatoes (whole, skin and all), strain...put back in pot and add a pad of butter and raw oats and toss. Doesn't sound like much, but it's awesome. We use olive oil more often than not these days...I actually think it's better.

    My usual work-day breakfast is oats that have been soaked overnight. Oats, chia seed, handful of dried raisins, greek yoghurt all soaked in hazelnut milk. Yum!!

    My boss eats bran flakes without any milk or even water because he does not like them soggy:huh:

    I eat them pretty "raw." I like my oatmeal to be hot so I add hot water from the coffeemaker to them, but I eat them immediately because I like them "chewy" not "mushy."

    Seriously, add some coconut, some crushed cocoa roast almonds... Amazing!

    I don't even like the texture of them wet. I only eat them dry, mixed with peanut butter and little maple syrup (about 1/2 cup old fashioned oats, 2 Tbs pb, 1 tsp syrup). Makes a great dessert or breakfast.

    I can also eat steel cut oats mixed in with brown rice in some dishes, but honestly I only do this because I bought a bag of steel cut oats after being told on MFP how they tasted so different and had a much different texture (which was a lie) and now I need to use them up.

    I haven't tried raw oats but my son eats that way - I had never seen it before. I will have to try it!

    Here's a twist... Try steel cut oats in Greek yogurt with protein powder.... The steel cut oats have a much different consistency... Almost reminds me of Grape Nuts cereal.

    Okay, I have to ask. I keep seeing this overnight oatmeal.... What's the appeal? Is it a different consistency/flavor than cooked oatmeal?
