Hi Gang,
What is your favourite way to prepare your Oats?
Mines super simple....I pour boiling water over them, let them sit until soft and then top with honey.
What's yours?

    Mix with almond milk and microwave then add whatever topping I'm in the mood for (almond butter and jelly is my favorite).

    All oats are outlawed in my house hold as well as kale. These two did not make it to my family menu plan. :(:(

    Top with boiling water until soft then stir in a teaspoon of strawberry preserves. This has been my breakfast for the last 2 months...

    I pour into a Tupperware with almond milk, agave, fruit and vanilla. Then keep in fridge overnight for breakfast (I like it cold during the summer). Works great with PB2 also ;)

    I turn the oats in to flour and make pancakes. Not a fan of porridge.

    Pancakes as well, oats, egg whites, cottage cheese, cinnamon and splenda all in the blender for batter. Adding apple slices or berries while cooking. SOOOOO good.

    I just tried overnight oats the other day. I think I used 1/2 cup oats with 1 serving vanilla greek yogurt with a little milk to give it a little more liquid, then about 20 blueberries. Stick in the fridge overnight. In the morning, they are soft, and it's SOOO creamy.
    Next I want to try Chocolate Strawberry overnight oats, I just haven't gotten strawberries yet.

    Cook them on the stove with whatever fruit sounds good that day, add honey and maybe vanilla and nuts or sunflower seeds at the last minute. Also either butter or milk once off the heat.

    Do not like them microwaved at. All. Nope. Yick. Cold overnight oats even worse :s

    Oatmeal mixed with maple syrup and a little butter.

    Or oatmeal with home made fruit sauce.

    Awesome guys....some more options for me. I usually put boiling water on mine and leave until soft and top with honey. Love it this way but wanted to try some new ways. Thanks everyone....hopefully more ideas keep coming.

    My basic overnight oats:

    40g rolled oats
    1/2c unsweetened almond milk
    55g plain Greek yogurt
    13g vanilla bean Trutein powder
    1/4tsp vanilla extract

    I make five on Sunday night for the week, put them in jars and just shake. In the morning I add whatever combo I feel like. Lately I'm liking plums/pineapple/cinnamon/nutmeg/pecans/maple syrup or cocoa powder/bananas/raspberries/cherries/honey.

    I usually make overnight oats, mix them with milk or fruit smoothies or water + honey + cinnamon.

    LOVE this thread! 1. I'm making flour out of my oats and making pancakes with them - genius!! 2. I am going to try in my rice cooker! Both great ideas! Thank you! :)

    I love my oats. I claim them as part of my Scottish heritage.
    • 1/3 cup oats with one cup water, a tablespoon of currants, microwaved for three minutes (I keep an eye on it) and top with Greek yogurt.
    • 1/4 cup steel-cut oats with one cup water, a tablespoon of currants (on a currant kick right now), bring to a boil then put on low for twenty minutes. I also have this with yogurt.
    • Refrigerator oats; 1/2 cup oats with regular yogurt and frozen fruit in a mason jar. I often add a teaspoon of chia seeds.
    • Oat flour, pumpkin, protein powder and spices for an awesome protein pancake.

    Oooooh yeeeeeees
    I will have to try this over the weekend.

    I prefer the steel cut oats over rolled, though I eat both pretty frequently. There is something about the consistency of instant/quick oats that I just can't learn to love, though...

    I usually cook with 75% water and 25% whole milk
    Favorite toppings:
    1 tbs maple syrup, 1/4 c frozen wild blueberries, 1 tbs hemp seeds or sliced almonds
    1 tbs natural peanut butter, 1 tbs strawberry preserves
    1 tbs honey, 2 tbs/1 oz chopped pistachios, drop of rosewater if I have it (tastes like baklava!)

    I've recently been making this recipe:
    http://ohsheglows.com/2014/09/09/raspberry-chia-seed-jam-oat-crumble-squares-vegan-gluten-free/

    I cut the coconut oil down to 1/4 cup and get 9 squares total at the end. It is about 300 calories per square. Just bake on the weekend and you have breakfast for the rest of the week!

    Butter and salt. Steel cut or old fashioned.

    Since the weather has gotten so much warmer, I'm loving overnight oats right now. In the winter I take the time to cook them low and slow with milk.
