oatmeal recipes!

[1_more_rep]

hey everyone i was wondering if you guys could post all your oatmeal recipes you had...i'm going to the store soon to get some oats and i was just gonna pick up some quaker oats n some no-name brand probably...

also...when i cook it (should i even cook it?) do i heat it? or will that ruin alot of nutrients?


and does anyone know any decent tasting oats i can buy from a local market? i don't want another staple to add to my diet that tastes horrid

thanks in advance

i usually just take oatmeal and peanut butter and some vanilla ice cream and blend it together...maybe add some protein shake in there. that is all you need to bulk and hmmmm it tastes good

You ever tried steel cut oats? They require slightly different treatment. I'll lightly brown them in a dry pan gives a different flavor, more grainy, if that makes sense?

Anyway, if you don't know what to do with them, the lazy method I use: 4 c. water to 1 c. oats. Bring water to boil, add oats, bring that back up to an boil (note, here, if you're browning them in a dry pan first be careful, if you just dump the hot oats to the hot water the water will boil over; better to turn the water off and add the oats really slowly, a spoon at a time). Anyway, boil them for a couple more minutes, then slap the lid on the pan and leave that pan sitting overnight.

The next morning you have a big ol' pot of concrete No, seriously, you just dip one cup or whatever you want out of what's in the pot, add more liquid, heat that through, put the rest in the fridge. It's hearty, a change of pace.

i like to cook my oats with milk then add some splenda brown sugar
shit is off the hook

I buy the Quaker Oats - not the Quick or Instant type but the original that come in the big round container. I put my dry portion in a bowl, add 2 packets of Splenda + cinnamon + water to cover & microwave for 1 minute - and they are done!

Now if you want to jazz it up & can afford the "extras" I also like:

Raisins + cinnamon
Chopped apple + raisins + minced walnuts + cinnamon
Dried cherries, cranberries or blueberries
Applesauce

Put the dried fruit or apple in with the dry oats, then add the water then microwave to soften up the fruit. I also like to add 1 tblsp. cream or coffee creamer after cooking.

i just add blackcurrant jam to my oatmeal each morning. makes it sweet yet tangy at the same time. altho we call it "porridge" here in bonnie Scotland

I can't stand the texture of the quick oats as a cereal, they work for blender drinks, I guess. I ran out of both the oatmeal I normally use (it's called scottish porridge) and the steel cut kind and had a carton of the quick oats so I figured oats is oats ... ... tasted like the way kindergarten paste looks like it would taste.

To each his own.

The kind that is 2lbs? Yeah, I use to get those but I went through them so fast. Almost 2 of those per week so now I just go to costco every other week and buy the 9lb boxes.

Well, yes, but I get mine @ Costco too unless they are on sale for $1 then I stock up on them........
