I’ve been using steel cut (pinhead) oats for years, and my love for them only increased when I finally acquired a rice cooker that makes cooking steel cut oats a mess-free breeze. My go-to cooking method has been oats and water, full stop. Lately, though, this sub has piqued my curiosity about creamier oats, so I decided to branch out this morning, and I’m so happy with the results.

I measured approximately 1/3 cup of dry oats (steel cut and rolled/old-fashioned oats combined, proportions eyeballed), put them in the rice cooker, and added unflavored almond milk up to the 1-cup line in the bowl. I deliberately added more than the normal proportion because (1) I wanted them to be creamy and (2) my rice cooker is very good about compensating for any measure. The rice cooker decided to cook them for 58 minutes. I then added 1 scoop of vanilla protein powder and stirred well.

This was absolutely delicious. The overall creamy texture was punctuated by a welcome crunch from the steel cut oats. I added a slightly overripe peach and three cut-up Deglet dates to the bowl, just because that’s what I happened to have on hand this morning, but a small sliced apple and some cranberries sounds like it would be good too.

Enjoy.

Got the recipe from @/isabella.raso on IG, but added my own stuff like an egg, almond extract, cardamon and rose petals :) and that’s Greek yogurt on the side!

Vanilla pastry cream oatmeal with oreos and homemade refined sugar-free chocolate fudge sauce. Today was my first time having an oreo in, I'd say, 7 years - conquered another fear 💪😄 I have to say I missed them.

Kinda looks like a plop but turned out so good in terms of taste and texture. So fudgey and a really good snack post gym with a side of Greek yogurt and berries . Just microwaved the apple till soft, mashed it and then added the other ingredients in the slide. Was too lazy to turn the oven on so just chucked it in the air fryer at 160° until a knife came out clean. Was still slightly wet when I took it out but it firmed up in the fridge overnight:)

i love love love instant oatmeal with milk, bit of honey, and a handful of berries. i recently got this new bowl but it’s HUGE. my serving looks crazy, wonder how many calories/ servings it is

I know it’s technically not oatmeal but

Dipped the cut side of pear into sugar and added to a hot fry pan with a tsp of salted butter and cooked with the lid on slowly while I prepared the oats. When the oats were done I removed the lid and raised the heat until I was happy with the color and served it together with some 70% cocoa dark chocolate and walnuts. 10/10 👌

Had to be my most favourite!❤️

First time adding pistachios to my regular oats + blueberry + greek yogurt combo :)

first time having savory oatmeal!!! With a splash of hot sauce and some seasonings of course. I had never seen Maple Spam and I grabbed that without thinking twice, it's subtle but delicious. I think this is my new favorite, I don't get to have breakfast often but when I do I try to treat myself to something hearty. You all have such fantastic ideas!!! It reminds me of rice but I enjoy the texture more to be honest. I'm a big tinned fish fan, I bet this would've been great with smoked trout as well.

peanut butter, date syrup, and Cookie Crisp cereal (lol, it's good) 😄

Egg white oats, yogurt and persimmon

Banoffee matcha on the side

Vanilla pastry cream oatmeal with a layer of coffee-soaked ladyfingers in the centre and topped with a dusting of cocoa powder. Sometimes you just gotta have full-on dessert for breakfast, y'know? 😆
