The Everything Oatmeal thread

[Emma JC]

There are various fruits I find nice to have with oatmeal, I don't know if others try the same fruits with it. Like who else has used dates in their oatmeal?

I love a medjool date in my oatmeal, along with frozen cranberries - the banana and berries I put on top - also molasses in while cooking - with steel cut I put in split red lentils and with rolled oats I put in soy curl crumbs

Things I add to oatmeal.

Always
dash of salt, a dash of turmeric and pepper, and a tbsp of ground flax seed

In order of frequency
FreshStrawberries,
Fresh blueberries
banana and PB powder

Raisins are my goto when I have nothing fresh

I have a lots of different things I try in my Overnight oats including my fav apples and cinnamon,.

The date syrup was good but not very flavorful…probably because I didn’t want to use too much of it. I really think I would like chopped dates in there, though. I will have to get some.

 

[KLS52]

I did try chopped apples one time and wasn’t a fan. It wasn’t bad…just kind of mediocre. I prefer bananas, pecans and raisins. No berries, though. But I like berries in farina/cream of wheat, especially strawberries.

Oatmeal is a preparation of oats that have been shelled, steamed and flattened, or a coarse powder of shelled oat grains that have been milled or steel-cut. Ground oats are also known as canaries. Steel-cut oats are known as raw oatmeal, Irish oatmeal, or needle-headed oats

I mentioned in an earlier post that my microwaved oatmeal is a bit 'soupy' and I love it that way because of all the extra flavourings that I add - these include molasses (today's was the end of the container so there was a lot) and I also add peanut butter powder and dark cocoa powder and cayenne, along with all the other ingredients - because there are soy curl crumbs both the rolled oats and the crumbs soak up the soupiness.

aside: becareful if you add dark cocoa powder to only add a teaspoon - I added lots one day and had the shakes for a couple of hours...

I tried vanilla oat drink with oatmeal. Never again.
I mean, the taste wasn't that bad, but the smell weirded me out.

Everyone is always like "informative".
I don't know if that's sarcasm.

Not on my part! it’s more that I only tried oat milk once and didn’t really like it. I found it interesting that it wouldn’t taste good with “oat”meal since it’s oats on oats, haha.

Aw... thanks.
I mean, it's okay to troll me when I'm just rambling about my taste buds and sense of smell. But it would also be kinda mean lol.

Okay, thank you for explaining.
It's kinda interesting for sure. I have no idea why it didn't work for you.

I ran out of soy milk and made my oatmeal with oat milk. it was fine. I think I even once saw a Quaker Oats promotion for it. Quaker Oats stopped making oat milk - which I still think was kind of weird. Seemed like a natural. Maybe they were just too late to the party.

I use the "informative" thingie when I just want to acknowledge that it was a good post but not something I liked. Like something about animals dying.

We've been using mostly oatmilk here. Aldi soymilk just says 'original', but it is sweet and has a bit of vanilla flavor. I'm not a fan of unsweet almond. Their oatmilk is quite neutral, so it works for everything.
I always have a stash TJ's shelf stable plain soy beverage and pour a jar of it out to keep when I make yogurt

I use the when I learn something new from a post!

Crazy that Quaker Oats didn't jump on the bandwagon!
Do they even make organic oats? Yes, but I've never seen them in stores!

I do try and stick to organic with oats, and buy groats for breakfast and rolled for recipes. I had rolled this week and really dislike their texture

Yes.

I've purchased Quaker organic oats from Amazon.

 

[silva]

Yes.

You have Quaker Oats there?

Yes. However, I was answering your question concerning organic oats. Even the local Lidl's stocks them.

I always use it as intended, when I think something was informative or it's information I didn't know. Never any sarcasm intended.

I try and only buy organic oats. I've just never seen Quaker organic. I stick to bulk rolled, or buy groats online

I don't use the "i" sarcastically either. Garbage like that happens on generally-snotty-or-outright-toxic message boards; I can personally confirm that!! (Or at least it used to. I dropped those websites long ago, and don't know if they still even exist.) But I haven't seen that here, except maybe when a troll posts something (happily for me, the mods promptly ban them).

In fact, I think when you get enough "i" reactions to your posts, you get a trophy (or you used to).
