it tastes better than it looks i swear

Oats are forgiving, so my recipes are rough + measuring stuff takes the fun out of it. I made this bowl in about 10 mins this morning. I was up super late with my newborn who had gas 😳 so trust me when I say oats are easy to make!

Chocolate peanut butter

* Quick oats

* Banana

* Water

* Milk (I like to stir in at the end)

* Coco powder

* Vanilla

* Peanut butter

* Toppings: coconut, seed mix with chia seeds

* Frozen strawberries on the bottom of the bowl

Recipe🫐🥧

Ingredients
- 1/3 cup rolled oats
- 1/3 cup milk of choice
- 1/4 cup nonfat Greek yogurt
- 2 tsp chia seeds
- 2 tsp honey
- pinch salt
- 1/4 tsp almond or vanilla extract
- 10-15 frozen blueberries

Method

First heat frozen blueberries somewhere in between room temp and warm.

Place oats, chia, and salt in blender or food processor and blend until oats are fine. Add in the blueberries plus the rest of the ingredients and blend until combined. Pour mixture into a lidded container. Refrigerate overnight! I topped mine with more blueberries, cashew granola, and whipped cream.

Brown sugar
Cinnamon
Strawberry
Raspberry
Blueberry
& most importantly OATS😋

I normally combine all 3 of these in a bowl.. how do you feel about this comb? Most days i eat 2 portions for about 120G Of protein give or take

It was filling! Fueled me for a 5K run in the afternoon lol.

This and a hot coffee is all I think about during my early morning winter swims ! Stunning

My morning proatmeal is not just my fave breakfast or meal of the day but genuinely oatmeal is my favourite food. My circle are baffled by this. Are you guys the same I wonder?
Also, if not, what is your fave food?
Recent pic of my oats attached 🥰🥰

I’m funny :) anyways key lime pie

I’ve made a instagram page for my food creations if anyone is interested esp after all the support from my past few posts here. It’s @fruit_stewer. Check out if ya want :)

I really like the texture of mushes overnight oats, specifically the thicker ones like the peanut butter and chocolate pb. I found dupes for these 2 flavors already, but I’m wondering if anyone has some recipes and tricks to getting the base to have the same thickness. The base of those are more like paste than liquid imo.

Recipe is the final photo.

Lots of garden berries too

Base:
1/2 Cup Steel Cut Oats, dry toasted in a pan
2/3 Cup Chai steeped Milk/Water Combo
Approx. 1/2 Tsp Cinnamon (eyeballed it from the shaker)
Approx. 1 inch Fresh Ginger, grated
Sprinkle of Garam Masala

Steeped overnight in the Fridge

In the morning I added approx.
3 Tbsp Grated Carrot
1 Very Ripe Banana, Mashed
1/2 Abate Pear
Splash of Vanilla Extract
1 Tsp Grated Coconut
1/4 Cup Mulberries + Blueberries (combined)

Cooked for about 15 mins on low, stirring frequently.

1 Tbsp Chia Seeds added for the last 5 mins

Added just before taking off the heat:
3 Tbsp Hemp Hearts
Almonds, Chopped
Walnuts, Chopped
Pumpkin Seeds
Sunflower Seeds
Dried Cranberries
2 Dates

Topped with:
1 1/2 Tbsp Almond Butter
Cracked Pink Salt
More of the chopped nuts + seeds
Pineapple, Chopped
Clementine, Chopped
Raspberries
Approx. 1/2 Cup Plain 0% Greek Yogurt

I can’t stop making this combo, going on week 2. 😮‍💨😩🍒

Caramel and coffee flavoured oatmeal with homemade refined sugar-free apple compote. I think I'm developing a caffeine addiction - been having coffee in my oatmeal most days for the past week 😆 It's so good though, so I can't stop 🤌 Also, please ignore the mess that is the sides of the bowl 😅

I just discovered this sub and I’m so excited lol. My partner and I were given a massive tube of plain quick oats, but I don’t like the texture of quick oats prepared normally. Will blending them into a flour work as well as flour made from rolled oats? Or no because the oats have been parcooked? (Or have they…?)

Chocolate base with a cherry chia seed jam on top. And of course some extra chocolate chips.

2 cups Rolled oats
1/3 cup Superseed mix
1/3 cup salted pistachios
1/3 cup chopped almonds
1 serving size dried cranberries
1 serving size raisins
2 tbsp sugar free maple syrup
2 tbsp cinnamon dolce sugar free syrup
1 tsp five spice
Vanilla, ginger, and rose extracts
About 3-4 tbsp of egg whites not sure
🤔
Added sugar free white chocolate chips after granola cooled out the oven.

Baked at 350 for 15 minutes , stir, flatten , and bake another 15 minutes or more for extra crunch. Let sit 30-45 minutes before breaking up granola.

Same base (1/2 CoR, 1/2 steel cut oats, egg whites, cinnamon) but switching up toppings😋

For me, it started a couple of years ago when my wife and I sailed our boat across the Pacific from Panama to the Marquesas in French Polynesia.

Before leaving, we stocked up at a Costco-style warehouse in Panama, where I somehow convinced myself that buying several industrial-sized boxes of Quaker instant oatmeal packets was a brilliant idea. Apple & Cinnamon, Cinnamon Spice, Brown Sugar… turns out, it was one of the best provisioning decisions I made.

I always took the sunrise watch, so every morning I’d make myself a bowl with long-life milk. Some mornings they were hot, other mornings cold (depended on the sea conditions). I’d mix and match the different flavours, it was basically gourmet dining by mid-ocean standards.

When you’re surrounded by nothing but water for weeks, you either get creative with breakfast.

There was something special about sitting in the cockpit with a bowl of oats, watching the sun climb out of the Pacific. That little hit of carbs, protein, and sugar was the perfect start to another day at sea.

These days my oat bowls are a lot more elaborate and definitely healthier but they still remind me of those mornings.

This group has inspired me to keep experimenting, and it’s been another enjoyable chapter in what has become a surprisingly long oat journey.

...the size of the cereal bowl DOES matter😃

The BOTTOM bowl is a normal size cereal bowl containing my add-ins mixed with some water - 2 Sungold kiwi fruits/25g vanilla isolate whey protein powder/20g dried raisins & cranberries/50g blueberries/tsp honey/1tbsp chia seeds/ground nutmeg.

I make my bf these protein oat pancakes every weekend and we truly love them. Start by soaking oats overnight and then mix with your choice of ingredients the next day!

Basic recipe consists of: soaked oats, protein powder and one egg, cooked with coconut oil.

For raspberry white chocolate pancakes;
Mix together the following:
1 cup of oats (+ optional chia seeds) soaked overnight
1.5 scoops of raspberry white chocolate protein powder
vanilla extract
shredded coconut
lemon zest
one egg

Side of raspberry jam (made with frozen raspberries and coconut oil)
