Hi all,

I ordered some whey powder and due to some promotion or other got a free kilo and a half of "Myprotien" instant oat thingy. I assumed it would be kind of like porridge oats (oatmeal for our US cousins), but it isn't - its basically oat flour.


What the hell do I do with it?

Thaaaanks!

:drinker:

    Does it have directions in the package? If not, I would call the company and ask them! Seriously. Maybe you can add raisins or fruit and make it into cereal?

    You can use it to make pancakes or muffins. Google oat flour for recipes.

    Its like Readybrek but finer - and as we all know (those of us with kids, anyway) Readybrek is like oaty concrete. I think one is 'supposed' to blend it with milk and drink it if one follows the companys directions, but that sounds awful.

    here in the US we just add hot water for instant gruel for that on the go but i'm still in a prison camp feel (sorry i think instant oatmeal is gross)

    i think h pancake idea is a good idea. you can also add to smoothies or just open up all the packets, stand on a tall building and make it raaaaaaaaain!

    This may sound strange, but I keep some oat flour in a salt shaker in my bathroom and add it to my face soap. I have very sensitive, dry skin and it helps to calm it down. I also add it to my baths (which I take on my rest days) along with some epsom salt to keep me all soft and smooth. Possibly not for everybody, but I guess if you run out of ideas on how to eat them! :ohwell:

    I use it every day to thicken my shake. PWO shake is 300ml milk, 50g whey powder, 25g instant oats, 10g psyllium husks, 5g creatine, throw it in a bottle with a whisking ball thing, nice thick shake. Easy good carbs.

    Oddly, back on the day, I used to fatten pigs on whey and rolled barley. No wonder these suppliment companies are making money, upmarketing swill, basically....:bigsmile:
