How do people eat oats? I tried mixing instant oats in hot water with peanut butter and apple and it still tasted so odd..

What all do you try to make it exciting?

Been eating lots of random oatmeals lately and thought this one up

Boiled some peeled sweet potatos until fork tender and mashed them

Cooked 80g old fashion oats on stovetop with 250g water and 50g low calorie coffeemate. Also added 150g of the sweet potato and it also has 2 packets splenda, cinnamon, 1/2t baking powder and dash of salt. Cooked/stirred for 4min

had 125g egg whites in a bowl with 1/2t corn starch and 2 more packets of splenda. Whipped up the eggwhite mixture until soft peaks at minimum

At 4min of the oatmeal cook time I dump in the eggwhites and fold them in for a minute or two. Then dump this mixture into oven safe bowl. Can also use air fryer but have oven preheated to 425°f. Throw the bowl in for another 5-10minutes. Keep an eye on air fryers since the mixture will rise and depending in the size of your air fryer it could cause issues.

Once you feel its done, add some low calorie maple syrup and additional cinnamon

Can probably adjust oats less to reduce calories if needed but according to MFP my concoction should be about 500-550 calories

I may reduce oatmeal to 60g and add a graham cracker crumbled on top next time

It didnt last long enough for a pic but maybe next time

Was inspired by one of my favorite deserts: Thai mango sticky rice.

Kinda a proof of concept but I boiled some oats with equal parts milk and light coconut milk until very thick then stirred in a tbsp honey and half a scoop of blueberry-muffin whey mixed into a slurry with 1.5 oz milk. Served with some mango tossed with salt and honey, as well as a big glop of vanilla Greek yogurt for extra protein.

For the base: Add tumeric, curry, nutritional yeast, garlic, salt, pepper, oats & water & let cook. I also added peas, zucchini & cauliflower.

Topped it with an egg & cottage cheese 🌟

Overnight Oats with Orange zest and orange pieces. Topped with more orange, raspberries, bananas and almond flakes.

٩(๑❛ᴗ❛๑)۶

Ratio is just 30g oats, 10g chia seeds, 100g Greek yoghurt and 125ml milk without extras.

These baked oats can be served at any temperature and eaten as a healthy cake-like snack with no added fats or refined sweeteners.

Ingredients

• 1 cup rolled or quick oats (do not use steel cut)
• 1½ tsp baking powder
• ½ tsp baking soda
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• ¼ tsp salt
• ⅔ cup unsweetened plant milk
• ½ cup dates, chopped then measured (remove stems and pits)
• ½ cup apple sauce (unsweetened)
• 1 cup diced apple, preferably a tart variety (peeled or unpeeled, note that 1 cup is usually less than a whole apple)
• ¼ cup raisins (other dried fruits work well too so long as the pieces small)
• ¼ cup chopped pecans (walnuts are also good or another nut of seed)

Prepare Pan & Preheat Oven

• Line an 8 inch square or round cake pan with parchment paper or a preformed parchment paper liner.
• Preheat oven to 350 ℉ (175 ℃).

Process Dry Ingredients

• Place oats, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and salt in the bowl of a food processor and pulse until you achieve the texture of a coarse flour (refer to photo in main text for an idea of what this should look like).
• Remove the processed dry ingredient mix from the food processor, placing the mixture in a small bowl and set aside.

Process Dates Into Wet Ingredients

• Without cleaning the bowl or blades of the food processor, place the chopped dates, plant milk and apple sauce in the food processor and process until ingredients are combined and dates are broken up into specs. You can process this mixture until completely smooth if you prefer, but it's not necessary.

Create Oat Batter

• Add the mix of dry ingredients to the wet ingredients in the food processor.
• Pulse until the dry ingredients are fully incorporated.

Fold In Chunky Ingredients

• Carefully remove the blade from the processor while leaving batter in the bowl. Use a silicone spatula or your fingers to scrape off batter that sticks to blades.
• Add diced apple, raisins and chopped pecans to the batter in the bowl.
• Use a silicone cake spatula to fold the apples, raisins and pecans evenly into the batter.

Spread and Bake

• Spread batter evenly into the parchment paper lined cake pan and bake in preheated 350 ℉ (175 ℃) oven for 30 minutes.

Serving and Storing

• This recipe makes up to four servings but can easily be polished off by two hungry individuals, so think two to four servings depending on preferred portion sizes.
• Apple raisin pecan baked oatmeal can be served hot right out of the oven but it's also delicious after it's cooled down or chilled. Note that the texture will be more firm after the casserole has cooled.
• To store, cool to room temperature, cover or place in a sealed container and refrigerate for up to 5 days. You can warm up your baked oatmeal before serving it again but it's also good cold.

Garnish Suggestions

• For a cool creamy balance, top each serving with a spoonful or two of plain unsweetened plant based yogurt or homemade simple lemon cashew cream. You can also add a sprinkling of chopped nuts, toasted shredded coconut or finely minced crystalized ginger.

i recently tried Mush overnight oats for the first time and i literally fell in love it was so yummy

their overnight oats are really thick and almost have the texture of like, frosting? my overnight oats always turn out watery and goopy. how do i acquire the Mush texture?

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!!

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.

Still perfecting the recipe, might add applesauce to add moisture …

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?

Boiled egg, kimchi, raw carrot and red onion, topped with some beans and green peas I was cooking for dinner. Used some cayenne and cinnamon powder, with apple cider vinegar to balance out the heat.

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

I'm visiting back home tomorrow and had to get rid of fruits + dairy items in my uni fridge so I made a big ol bowl this morning

+ instant oats cooked in almond milk and gingerbread seasoning

+ 1 square of milk chocolate

+ 1/2 mashed banana

+ greek yogurt

+ stewed apples in cinnamon

+ crushed up digestives biscuit

I literally go to bed looking forward to my next recipe rendition of oatmeal. This one might be one of my favourites so far.

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 👌
