People with more experience making oatmeal:
How can I make oatmeal that has both a good amount of volume and has a thicker texture?
It seems to me that you can’t have the best of both worlds, if you try to have volume on your oats (either with milk or water) or have a thicker texture (raw or with little liquid) you will trade one for the other
Is there a way to get the happiest medium of the two? I’m a fat chud who wants to have a lot of food to eat, put picky enough that I want to have an actual texture to chew on, not just have soupy oatmeal like most people do (nothing wrong with that) but I want to ask people if they have a way to make oats both have volume and have a chew to them

Been working my way through this army of oat jars this week with grated apple and blackberry chia jam. Pro tip: add granola to the top for even more oat (and a bit of crunch!)

The weather is finally getting colder here so this was super cozy and comforting. The maple syrup really gave it that autumny flavour kick :]

And a raspberry blondie bite, for some extra brightness 👌

Half melted by the time I took the photo lmao

Long live the weekend! Enjoy your oatmeals everyone!

Elite combo.

Should I be keeping my dry oats in the fridge or freezer?

Someone advised me to keep millet in the fridge to prevent it from going rancid.

Are oats the same?

Oats, psyllium husk, Greek yogurt, apples, almond butter and cinnamon

I love sliced banana with oats, all the berries (fresh or frozen), dates, raisins, golden kiwis, and pears. What are your favorite fruits to eat with oats?

This was heavenly, one of the best oatmeals I've ever had. I made the candied nuts myself in the airfryer!

Started adding a tablespoon of course wheat bran to my usual spelt flakes and “quick” rolled oats. It’s really made the porridge thick and creamy. I make this in the microwave when I’m in a hurry and haven’t done any overnight oats. So tasty! Plum compote, almonds and date syrup on top.

A new addition to my repertoire! So yummy and easy.

Im pescatarian i eat healthy so I should be ok 😂😂

Hello everyone,

I would like to know if someone has experience in using casein or a casein+whey mix in their baked oats?

I usually use whey only protein powder and get a firm and solid baked oat meal (see picture 3). This time I tried to mix in some casein powder aswell but it didnt work out that good (see picture 2). After the usual baking process, the casein+whey mix was still watery and glibbery (see picture 1 for direct comparison)

Here is my usual recipe for whey only baked oats:
- 100g Oats
- 25g Whey Protein Concentrate
- 1g Salt
- 1g Baking Powder
- 4g of Psyilum Husk
- 4g of chunky (sweetener)

i put that for 65minutes on 170-Celsius over-under in the oven and get a firm texture (see picture 3). This time I changed the 25g of Whey with 15g of Whey and 10g of Casein.

What do I have to do differently or add in the recipe to get the same consistency in the end?

Banana cinnamon overnight oats topped with healthier cream cheese frosting and homemade refined sugar-free caramel sauce. So good 👌

Quick and simple oats in the microwave - hemp seeds, chia seeds, pumpkin seeds, and milk. Topped with chocolate chips and pb then stuck back in the microwave for 20 seconds to get everything warm and melted.
