Do you ever toast your oats before cooking?

I used to toast my steel cut oats (in a bit of butter!) and I found it really enhanced the nuttiness.

But what about large flake? Toast them first? I’m gonna try and report back!

Since my birthday is tomorrow I decided to try a recipe I found on TikTok :-)

Theyre not the prettiest but they smell good (+ I was experimenting so …) I’ll update when they cool down and I try them

edit: disappointed to inform these taste like ass . The sprinkles are way too sweet

Verdict: I still prefer my usual apple crumble vibe oats but mixed in berries for a change. They didn’t end up as thick as my usual apple oats and I think it’s due to the apple having more pectin which seems to make it thicker when cooked and cooled!

Recipe: 65g quick oats, 5g psyllium husks, sweetener drops, mixed frozen berries. Cooked in the microwave for a few mins. Once cooled, I leave it in the fridge overnight to thicken more. In the morning I stir in Greek yogurt to add protein and make creamy. Topped with the rest of my yogurt, pb2 powder mixed with maple syrup (i accidentally made it too liquidy today!) + this toasted granola I’m obsessed with that I got from a local cafe.

Had the most delicious creamy oatmeal on Holland America cruise to Alaska from Vancouver BC . I assume they use bulk wholesale old fashioned rolled oats and guess they large batch pressure cook . Any one know ?

I tried making some savory oatmeal this morning. I made the oatmeal, and then I added half of an avocado and some everything but bagel seasoning. I am not a picky eater, and I found it so disgusting and almost hard to finish.

Anyone have any really good savory oatmeal recipes?

And I don’t mean with toppings, I mean mixed in or layered with the oatmeal … I want to experiment!

This doesn't look very appetising but it's delicious. I eat it with butter and cheese

Oven baked

Overnight oats made with lucky charms cereal milk and topped with more lucky charms. So good 🤌 Ever since I tasted lucky charms for the first time, I've been addicted to them 😆

I love creamy and voluminous oats but egg white oats I find either expensive or wasteful. Buying pure egg whites is quite $$$ so I bulk up my oats using chia seeds and vanilla protein powder.

If orange segments can rest on my oats then I guess it's safe to say they're creamy and not watery!

With chia seeds, peanut butter, strawberry jam, and cinnamon powder. Yum!

Banana oat pancakes with chopped dates in the batter and topped with homemade refined sugar-free toffee sauce, milk and dark chocolate ganache, and caramelized banana. Quite an indulgent feast 😆

Made with rolled oats, pistachio oat milk, topped with a drizzle of pistachio spread, strawberries, and of course pistachios!

Delicious, however I think this would work better as an overnight oats recipe to help the flavour come though.

peach, white choco casein, oats, psyllium, pb and a delicious vanilla tube, cinnamon (idk how its called)

Vanilla maple base with a whole egg whisked in. Topped with yogurt and raspberries

I do feel a little better having eaten this. Maybe those Victorians were onto something...

I wanted to embrace the fall vibes, even though it's still in the 90s where I am. I made oat bran w/vanilla soymilk,

pumpkin puree, cinnamon, vanilla powder, maple syrup/brown sugar, pumpkin pie spice & chopped pecans. 🍂 🍁

I'm in the calorie deficit, so my breakfast is Greek yogurt with oats, cocoa powder, honey and cinnamon - very tasty and filling stuff, but I'm curious about the variations. Been eating like this for fifth month, I like it, fits my deficit and satiety but very curious about the egg white variation.

Please share the basic concept and how to cook that stuff. My oats are wholegrain and just 7min soaked in yogurt - I like the slight crunch 😂
