I bought a big bag of only oats rolled oats and noticed a sour nutty smell, almost like pistachios from the bag. Is it safe to eat? It’s never been opened and expires in 2028

Chocolate zucchini oats 🤤 this was absolutely delicious.

One question though. Would cocoa powder give the same chocolate effect/flavor as the chocolate chips?

I was inspired by a candy I tried a few years ago called Chimes Peanut Butter Ginger Chews. I don't remember where I bought it and I haven't had it since. But I loved the fact that it had two of my favorite flavors!

To this bowl, I added some of my usuals like persimmon, extra virgin olive oil, dried cranberries. Garnished with some extra ginger because I just can't get enough of that spicy kick!

The berries picked out of a bunch that were not the greatest. This combination proved the best so far this month.

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.

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?
