Why is oatmeal

I cook mine then mix it with a little coconut milk/cream and sweeten with either honey or natural palm sugar. The coconutty flavor makes it taste delicious.0

Today I ate her recipe for mango chutney oats. Wow~
My favorite is the orange spice.
http://oatgasm.blogspot.com/ is also fantastic0 -
Oatmeal gives me FREAKY BAD heartburn. I can't eat it very often.0

Hot steel-cut oats poured over frozen berries and then drizzled with honey0
-
I love it! But only when cooked with part milk, part water and a banana. If I don't have a banana then it's a really tough eat! Peanut butter or brown sugar also go well.0

I love oatmeal! I'm probably gonna be unpopular cause I make mine with water and just add a few (15g) of raisins to mine.
I'm lactose intolerant though so maybe that's why I like it like this. One of my pals tried to make it with just water and hated it, hah!0 -
I love oatmeal! I've never had an oatmeal I didn't like. Sometimes I just need more flavor, though.
Recently I've been eating a "raw organic multi-grain oatmeal" (with flax and quinoa) and it's delicious. Comes in two flavors that I've found--Cinnamon Plum and Chai Spice. They're delicious and not too high in sugar.
Alternately, a little honey, some fruit, or a protein powder that you particularly enjoy are all great ways to make oatmeal taste sweeter and more flavorful. When I was working out hard every day, last year, I would have an envelope of plain instant oatmeal (I was in a place where high-quality oatmeal wasn't really available) with a half-scoop of vanilla protein powder every morning as a post-workout meal.
You can also grind it up and blend it into a smoothie or protein shake--There's a smoothie bar at my gym that does that, and it's really good. Makes the smoothie very satisfying.0 -
The key is cinnamon.0

Love oatmeal...1/2 old fashioned oats has 5 grams of protein to keep a body going. I do the overnight method with no cooking involved.
1/2 cup oats
1/2 cup milk
3 oz Dannon fit &light banana cream
2 tbls PB2
mix, cover, set on counter overnight. Stir eat.
I eat at room temperature but can be heated up.
Yum Yum0 -
why is oatmeal so awesome? well its so awesome because its incredibly versatile and can be eaten sweet or savory with every flavor under the sun (well that might be a slight exaggeration)
I prefer mine to be steel cut oats, but I'll take old fashioned.
I love chocolate oatmeal the bestest
baked oatmeal is pretty awesome too (just ate some that tasted JUST like banana bread)
I frequently cook an egg into mine for an extra protein boost (with zero flavor change)
google/pinterest oatmeal and bask in the glorious results0 -
Steel oats with prunes cooked in the crock pot overnight. Serve with milk on it in the morning is delicious.0
-
I used to feel the same way until my girl friend made it with 1T peanut butter and agave nectar and 1 T mini chocolate chips. Who doesn't like peanut butter and chocolate. Really good0

My kid swore he would never like oatmeal, now he asks for it every morning. I put 1/3 cup of oatmeal
with almost a cup of water in a bowl (not instant oatmeal) and microwave it for 2 min. I let it sit for a
couple minutes for the water to finish being soaked in but while it is doing that I add 1 1/2 Tablespoons
of peanut butter. I stir it up and then add 1 tsp of brown sugar on top. It might
sound gross but it is very good. I used to laugh at my hubby for eating PB with it but now I love it too. It keeps your hunger
satisfied for hours and gives you lots of energy.0 -
I enjoy oatmeal with almond milk and a little sugar free syrup0
-
oatmeal with a bit of brown sugar, cream, and raisins = delicious.
oatmeal plain = disgusting.
In other words, oatmeal is just a convenient (and relatively healthy) way to get full while eating other stuff that tastes good.
Sort of like popcorn. It's the vehicle for salt/butter - or sugar - or cheese powder - or whatever you put on it...0 -
So damn disgusting( don't mean to offend the oatmeal lovers)
sugar doesn't help
Totally hear you, homeboy. I loathe it.0 -
I hated all oatmeals until I undercooked it with peanut butter and chocolate protein power. Now it tastes like and has the consistency of a chocolate no bake cookie. Totally yummy!! High in calories though : )0

Wait! You leave yogurt and milk out on the counter overnight?
Please say you mean in the fridge.0 -
Oat meal is not just a sweet breakfast item. Oat meal can be an amazing filler for savory soups ,beans.chilli, meat loafs, and other dishes too. Try cooking up a pot of lentils with chicken and spices and then when the pot of lentils are almost done, pour in a couple of cups of dry oat meal. Talk about a stick to your ribs meal that acts like a fat and cholesterol sponge.0

I had a bowl of rolled oats this morning, cooked in water. Mixed in two tbsp of finely ground walnuts, topped it with an egg over easy. It tasted really good and I didn't miss the butter and brown sugar at all . . . well, much anyway. *sigh*0
-
I often cook my oatmeal in just water, which would be boring on its own, but I add all the yummy stuff right into the bowl after. I do a lot of different combos, but I love cocoa powder, chocolate chips, and peanut butter! I have also done a little bit of orange juice and white chocolate chips, it was delicious.0
-
Not of fan of oatmeal, as my mom would cook it on the stove in a slimy mess with raisins.
My favorite way to eat oats now is this:
1cup dry oatmeal
1 cup peanut butter
1 cup firmly packed brown sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup chocolate chips
drop by spoonfuls on a baking sheet and bake at 350 for 13 minutes.
You are welcome!:drinker:0 -
OATMEAL GOOD.. MIX IN SOME FRUITS0
-
Part of my breakfast almost every day (perhaps all but 2 days a month).
1 part Old fashioned oats with 2 parts water. A few minutes in the microwave. Top with fresh berries and a little milk. (I stir in some protein powder into the milk on lifting days. Lastly I put on a spoonful of flax seed.
Can't get enough of it.0 -
I never knew so many people hated oatmeal! I honestly love the Quaker Instant Oatmeal Flavored Packets...Brown Sugar is my favorite. Pour in a bowl, pour in milk, microwave for 1 minute. Delicious. I've never even tried all of these other kinds...I guess I will have to to see what I'm missing!0
-
Mmm, steel cut oats with a pat butter and some brown sugar (or honey)!! Simplicity in it's most delicious form!0
-
Nah, Sugar is not great. Maple and Brown Sugar is good, or make it with apple sauce and cinnamon.0
-
1. Never EVER use instant. Traditional oats only
I'm so glad I'm not the only one! I love the instant kind, with water even. I like the rolled kind too, but only with a buttload of sugar added and its not worth the trouble.0 -
thanks for the suggestions, going to try them out.0
