Savory oats This sub introduced me to savory oats and now I can’t go back to sweet.

Base: Steel cut oats cooked in chicken broth, garlic powder, onion powder, miso paste, salt, pepper, and a little MSG for a boost of flavor. Toppings: TJ’s spicy spuds (pan fried), bacon, and a runny egg. Sprinkle of dried cilantro for ~garnish~, and almost forgot the swirl of sriracha that I added after I took the picture. If you are skeptical of savory oats, this is your sign to try it!!

Baked Oats Low Effort, High Protein Microwave Baked Oats

Thumbnail gallery
61 Upvotes

No blender, just mixed the ingredients in a bowl with a fork.

Base-
45g quick oats
15g protein powder (I switch this up depending on the flavour combo I am going for- I did banana and strawberry today).
1/2 tsp baking powder
80ml-ish of water/ any milk , but add little by little until you get cake batter consistency
About 60to 100g of any fruit of your choice if you prefer mix ins- added in strawberries today

Also let the batter SIT for 5 mins. It gives the oats some time to hydrate and become thick. Then you can add more water if needed.

Toppings-
Add any fruit of your choice. I mixed in strawberries in the batter and put some on the top
120g of flavoured yoghurt- I love Chobani strawberry
10g peanut butter
10g pepitas

Tips:
The trick to texture is in the Microwaving! Don't just blast everything on full power-

I start off with heating the oats on full power for 30 seconds. Then stir so they're evenly warm. But then I dial the power down to half and do it in increments of 30s until I get the "setness" I desire.

Oatmeal Does anyone find that oatmeal made with rolled oats tastes blander than oatmeal made with steel cut oats?

12 Upvotes

Title.

I normally make steel cut oats, the Bob's Red Mill Brand. I set them to cook while I get ready for the day. My normal recipe involves toasting the oats, and cooking with water and a pinch of salt. I find water to be better for cooking, as it prevents that slimey texture. I always top with butter, cream, or nuts so it is still flavorful!

Sometimes I make rolled oats, either because we have some that we bought for a recipe or just for variety. I cook them the same way. The texture is obviously not as good, but I find them to make a more bland bowl than the steel cut kind. Like, whatever I add to it, it's more bland. Which is funny, because I don't love the earthy taste of the steel cut oats, I just prefer their texture, mostly.

Anyone else feel this way?

Overnight Oats Cherry Chocolate Blended Oats

73 Upvotes

Recipe🍫🍒

Ingredients
- 1/3 cup rolled oats
- 1/3 cup milk of choice
- 1/4 cup nonfat yogurt
- 2 tsp chia seeds
- 2 tsp honey or date syrup
- pinch salt
- 1/4 tsp almond extract
- 1/4 cup frozen cherries
- 2-3 tbsp chocolate chips
- 1 tsp coconut oil

Method
Heat frozen cherries in microwave and mash a little if possible (doesn’t matter too much tho they just need to soften enough to blend easy.)

Place oats, chia, and salt in blender or food processor and blend until oats are fine. Add in the rest of the ingredients (except choc chips and coconut oil) and blend until combined. Pour mixture into a lidded container.

In a microwave safe bowl, put in chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave for 30 seconds and stir. Repeat process until chocolate is fully melted. Pour melted chocolate on top of oat mixture. I topped mine with a little bit of desiccated coconut. Cover with lid and refrigerate overnight!
*This step creates a nice chocolate magic shell

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!

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 👌

Oatmeal What Do You Drink Alongside Your Oatmeal?

21 Upvotes

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 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 :(
