Oatmeal

[Owlie]

I must confess, I have yet to find the magic combination that makes PB+oatmeal palatable for more than half a bowl. My personal favorite way to flavor it is a pinch of salt, a generous amount of cinnamon, and a hefty glug of maple syrup. I usually add walnuts to it, but I'm out. I wonder if it would be tasty with some chunks of apple thrown in toward the end of cooking...

For me it must be more savory than sweet - and I also want protein to help balance out the carbs. Even if I didn't have to think about my blood sugar I just don't care for sweet hot cereal.

I bet apples would be good! Considering how long it takes to cook they would be stewed quite nicely be the time the oats were done.

I am working from home today due to the ice, and I just had my steel ground oats Time to go scrape the ton of ice off my car and move it much closer to my building before round two starts up - had to park much further away last night than I wanted.

Does anyone mix oats and water together, refrigerate overnight, then microwave it? Just wondering how this turns out. I usually just cook up a batch of oatmeal, put in containers to take to work for breakfast.

i mix oat in water in a pan and leave covered on stove over night and turn on in morning. i like the texture better this way it is creamer. i eat thick rolled oats. it has never gone bad not being in the fridge. i add raisins and things in morning before cooking. it seems to cook faster.

I found a recipe for overnight oats - put everything together and refrigerate and eat old in the morning. There is a variation that uses apple juice instead of the milk. Has anyone tried this cold recipe? I love oatmeal but when I make more than a serving its too mushy or starchy. Maybe it's something I'm doing. I tried both regular oats and steel cut oats. I'm going to give this cold recipe a try but making it when I get up and by the time I get to work it should be ready to eat
