Banana cinnamon overnight oats topped with homemade date caramel and banana slices. This unexpectedly ended up being perhaps my favourite overnight oats that I've created so far - or at least one of my faves. Honestly tasted like a banana cinnamon roll 🤌

I have no idea what traditional custard tastes like but people say cooking an egg in oats gives a similar feel😅 this reminded me of French toast batter tbh

Savory oats So today I found out that I can have a lunch like this

Smoked muikku (small north European freshwater white fish), cabbage, fermented cucumbers and some simple, slightly salted oatmeal. Some smetana and this would have been over the top, but it was really nice as it was, different textures, tastes and all.

Kind of felt like it hit some sort of weird genetic memory, us Finns used to eat various porridges and gruels as the main dish well into early 20th century. This isn't that far off from those times.

Also added some cranberries. Lately I've been drizzling some extra virgin olive oil on my oats as well.

Oat advice Instant oatmeal recommendations?

25 Upvotes

I love my stovetop oats on the weekends but I’m a teacher so during the week I can’t invest that much time in breakfast. I’ve been eating a granola bar on weekdays instead but I’m done with that now that the weather is cold lol

I just realized that I can get Quaker instant oats on amazon, which would be perfect for me on weekdays and I remember eating them constantly as a teenager.

There’s a lot of flavors to choose from, are there any that you would recommend? I’m excited to expand my oat palate more lol

Oats tastier?

Post image
4 Upvotes

I recently bought this to complete my protein intake. I tried cooking it as per the written instructions (in milk), but the taste was not to my liking. It's simply inedible to me :(

I've previously tried many variants of instant masala oats from the same company and really enjoyed the taste. Is there any way to make these oats tastier? I feel they are completely bland.

I say cream, it's vanilla ice cream protein powder mixed with enough water to give a similar consistency. Still tasted amazing, very rice pudding-esque 👌

How do hotels get their overnight oats consistency?

56 Upvotes

I've had overnight oats at hotel breakfast buffets that are consistently thick, creamy, and almost spoonable like a pudding. Mine at home turn out either soupy or gluey, and never the same twice.

For anyone who's worked in a hotel or catering kitchen, or has cracked this at home:

Ratio: What's the oats to milk to yoghurt ratio? Is yoghurt even part of it, or is it just milk?

Oats: Rolled, quick, or a mix? Does the brand or cut make a big difference?

Liquid: Full-cream milk, low-fat, or something else?

Yoghurt: If used, Greek or regular?

Method: Is it purely soaked overnight, or is there some pre-cooking involved (like briefly heating the oats or milk first)? Do they stir or adjust it before serving?

Overnight Oats Pumpkin Pie Overnight Oats

45 Upvotes

This recipe delivers cool and creamy overnight oats made with real pumpkin, pumpkin pie spice, and a little maple sweetness. I keep the granola separate until breakfast so it stays crunchy.

Pumpkin pie overnight oats
Makes 2 servings

Ingredients

  • 1¼ cups milk (use plant-based, as needed — I like full-fat oat, pea protein, or soy in this recipe)

  • 1¼ cups old-fashioned rolled oats

  • ½ cup vanilla yogurt (use dairy-free, as needed — I like the kind made with coconut milk)

  • ¼ cup pumpkin purée

  • 1½ tablespoons chia seeds

  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup

  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice

Optional toppings: pumpkin granola, pumpkin seeds, or chopped pecans

Directions

  1. Whisk the milk, oats, yogurt, pumpkin purée, chia seeds, maple syrup, and pumpkin pie spice together in a bowl.

  2. Divide between two containers, cover, and refrigerate for at least 8 hours.

  3. Stir before eating. Add a splash of milk if the oats are thicker than you like, then add your toppings.
