oatmeal recipes

I don't like oatmeal either, and it doesn't keep me full long. The only thing I really use oats in is protein pancakes (blended up with egg whites and protein powder) - they're tasty!

I use less water than recommended cause I like mine thicker than grits.

My mom likes hers like soup

Also I find steel cut to be more....slimy? Whereas quick oats are more textured but perhaps in doing the steel cuts wrong.

Also a giant scoop of peanut makes them super tasty

I should give this a try, but can I use the whole egg? I hate the thought of throwing out the best (I think) part.

Definitely.... I love whole eggs too, but prefer using other things for fat with my pancakes (like butter or PB)

I find quick cooking oats in the microwave to give me the texture I like best. If I want sweet oats, I usually apple butter or apple jelly with cinnamon and follow the instructions on the box for how much water to use.
Have you ever tried savory oats? Use a little less water maybe 3/4 cup instead of 1 cup and then melt some cheese on top of it with salt and pepper. American cheese in oats reminds me a little of Mac and cheese.
That said, no need to eat oatmeal if you don't like it.

for warm oatmeal, i usually mix some with egg whites and protein powder and microwave at 30 second intervals stirring each time, then top with some peanut butter

for cold, i'll do the overnight oats mixed with protein powder, milk and chia seeds then topped again with some peanut butter or protein cookie dough

Here is my favorite:

Oatmeal Fruity Smoothie

4 tbsp quick cooking oatmeal
1 tbsp chia seeds
200 ml yogurt
Fruits (I usually use the combination of raspberry, strawberry, banana, and kiwi. If you use avocado then add chocolate chunks)
Some ic

Blend for a tasty and healthy breakfast smoothie.


My mom likes to boil the oatmeal with water, season with sweet soy sauce and salt, and eat it with fried egg and rotisserie chicken, but I find it not to my taste. To me, oatmeal is best combined with fruits.

I've been grinding mine to a powder using a coffee bean grinder and add to smoothies...I do the same with flaxseed

I use Lidl luxury oats with semi-skimmed milk put into microwave for 2m 20sec add cinnamon and either blueberries, kiwi, strawberries and sometimes a shake of milled seeds (again from LIdl). Just make sure the bowl is deep enough and stir immediately when you lift out of microwave.

Here is my special oatmeal recipe. Have not yet found anyone who doesn't like it.

Ingredients
1 cup Quaker Rolled Oats (the value-brand oats aren't as good)
2 cups regular Silk soy milk (or dairy milk if you're into bovine mammary secretions)
2 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp nutmeg
1 tsp apple pie spice
1/2 tsp ginger powder (secret ingredient)
1/2 tsp vanilla
1/4 cup maple syrup (real maple syrup)
1 apple (peeled, cored, and chopped into small pieces)
1/4 cup walnuts

Add oats, milk, and apple chunks to pan and bring to boil.
Reduce heat to simmer and add cinnamon, nutmeg, apple pie spice, ginger, and vanilla.
Simmer for several minutes then add maple syrup.
Keep on low heat for a few minutes until consistency is right (not like snot)
Top with walnuts and enjoy
