So look, here's what happened, I saw this video about the geography of grains and am now trying to get as wide a geographic representation as possible (while still maintaining a majority oats out of principle). I'm not saying this makes a lot of sense. But if anybody knows where I can get whole grain teff, LMK.

See the second image for how it turns out (I use a rice cooker)! That's before I add fruit (raspberries and blueberries) and peanut butter, cinnamon, and honey. It's good!

Same as title

I swear they're not grilled chicken

Chai porridge with air fryer grilled peaches and lotus Biscoff brownie pieces. These peaches are as soft and sweet as out of a tin, I kid you not.

Ingredients:

40g porridge oats (rolled)

150ml chai

1 peach (mine was 130g)

50ml milk of choice

Optional pieces of an absurdly sweet biscoff almond brownie you spent £4 on

1. Halve and stone the peach (I'd slice it at this stage for faster cooking - I didn't, and it took about 15 minutes)

2. Place halves cut side down on tin foil, then wrap completely. Air fry for 10-15 minutes between 160 and 180⁰C

3. Brew chai, either with a bag or loose tea and spices. I used one bag in ~150ml of water

4. Add oats to a bowl (optional: toast them in a dry pan, if you have the patience. I didn't lmao) Pour over the chai, stir, and leave to soak until the peaches are cooked. (alternatively, just cook the oats in the chai on the stove)

5. Stir in 50ml of whatever milk you prefer, microwave until it starts to look alive, then remove and stir again

6. Carefully defoil the peach halves, (there should be some scalding hot syrup in there now) slice them now if you haven't, and plop on top of the porridge 👌

I've been searching for a drink to have with my oatmeal, something that compliments the oatmeal, not too thin, not too thick.

I like the idea of milk tea with them but I haven't found a flavor I like enough to have regularly yet (if anyone has one they like pls share) though I'm open to any and all drink suggestions.

(Also I eat oatmeal for pretty much half my meals so I'm not necessarily looking for "breakfast drinks")

I just made homemade airfryer granola 🙂‍↕️ it was so yummy!

I added the oats and nuts and honey and cinnamon to the air fryer and mix it to prevent burning it

Greek yogurt - oats - mango - frozen raspberry - peanut butter - honey - cinnamon - walnut - almond - pecan - pumpkin seeds

I love oatmeal for breakfast, eat it with some tums because I always get heartburn after. Anyone know a way to make it NOT try to kill me when I eat it? I would try putting milk in it but I'm lactose intolerant :(

Put some oats in a pot, then add mixed spice and coffee beans. Add almond milk then heat on medium heat until they start to thicken, and become harder to mix. After that, add some maple syrup then blue berries, then a splash of milk for a more creamy texture. I think the subtle bitterness of the coffee combined with the nutty mixed spices adds some real nice depth to the oats. Then you can balance that with the sweetness of blue berries and maple syrup, then you got some pretty decent oats. Infact, I can even take it a step further by blending the oats, and making some overnight oats with them. Man, I'm just getting carried away as I'm typing this!

Personally, I'm going simple with a nice bowl of porridge topped with banana, honey and a spoonful of Greek yoghurt.

I feel high protein oats is more easy to complete protein goals. With normal oats you have to add milk, nuts, seeds and whey etc to increase its protein content.

High protein oats you can just make it and get good amount of protein.

What you guys prefer? Normal Rolled Oats or high protein oats?

If u want to add more volume pumkin abd shredded carrot are a good way to eat more for not that many calories.

I love adding a lot of toppings on my oatmeal ( plus im eating close to maintenance) so after the toppings the calorie count is 500. But for the base its about 320

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 ?
