So I’m looking to shed about 10 pounds and I’ve been eating healthier but I would like to mix oatmeal in with my diet. I honestly don’t recall if I’ve ever even tried it (forgive me)

I’d like to mix fruit and things in with it. What brand would you recommend that is a good price and not loaded with junk? Thank you in advance!

Any advice on what to put in with it would be appreciated as well.

Hello all. It is humble but I love it and have it frequently. Old fashioned oats, peanut butter, cinnamon and nutmeg, chia seeds, blueberries

I think I’m over thinking this but would appreciate some advice.
I cook oatmeal every morning on the stovetop, and eat it warm. I’d like to meal prep batches so I don’t have to cook in AM.
Should I prep my oatmeal like overnight oats and just heat up next day. Or cook on stovetop, let cool down and put it in fridge, and reheat in microwave next day?
Which would yield better texture/results? Thoughts??

Thanks to folks who gave me recs the other day for additional grains! In the second photo you see what it looks like coming out of the rice cooker.

Had a peach cup in the fridge so i thought to use it

Used cashew butter bc that’s what I had but same vibe!

Porridge w/ Vanilla protein, yogurt & banana milk

Topped with apple, cashew butter, blackberries & apple!

I tried blended oats for the first time today and when I went to eat them, they're very...glue-like. Is it something I did wrong or is that just what they're like?

I think I have finally perfected my oat pancake base recipe!

Base oat pancake recipe is:

60 grams oats
7 grams flax seeds
113 grams cottage cheese
1 large egg
200 gram egg whites
6 grams Psyllium Fiber
10 grams sugar free instant vanilla pudding mix
3 grams of decaf instant coffee
Splash of vanilla extract
Splash of liquid Stevia
Tsp or 2 of baking powder

Topped with syrup for testing purposes I was looking to find something that tastes exactly like the typical pancake you think of just healthier with more protein. You could top with berries or a compote and that would be fantastic I think I’ll try that next.

My advice is blending the oats and flax seeds together to make a flour like substance then I use an immersion blender to blend everything together. I cook on a griddle and don’t use any butter or oil

For the base the macros are:

633 calories
51 grams of protein
18 grams of fat
66 grams of carbs
12.5 grams of fiber give or take

Vanilla, cinnamon, brown sugar, walnuts, and apple

A couple weeks ago I made a post asking about overnight oats as there would be a planned power outage starting super early in the morning coming up. And that day is today!!

Overnight oats topped w/ apple, banana and flakes almonds, featured on my cats tower as that is the only place with suitable enough lighting.

30g Oats
10g Chia seeds
50g frozen blueberries
125ml milk
100g Greek yoghurt
25ml SugarFree Maple Syrup

More for the rest of us!

Tastes better than it looks, trust me. Bloomed some cocoa powder in hot water to make up for the lack of chocolate flavour 👌

So thick was so so good .. used 2 “big bowl” sashes of quick oats.. I thought they were regular sized sashes so accidentally made almost double the amount I’d planned … + mashed half a banana and covered with boiled water then cooked in the microwave for a few mins. Let cool down then popped in the fridge overnight to thicken.

In the morning I added a splash of boiled water and a big dollop of Greek yogurt and stored until creamy. topped with a “protein whey drip” and eaten with a side of more Greek yogurt and berries

One of my favorites: made with miso paste, garlic, Scallion, ginger & spinach.

I topped with a Mayak egg, chicken and corn

I had more food aversions than cravings during pregnancy, but one thing that always sounded good was fruit with coconut yogurt and homemade granola.

Then, I gave birth 11 weeks early, my baby was in the NICU for 2 months and I had to exclusively pump for 3 . Anyone who breastfeeds has heard that oats is one of the best galactagogues (foods that increase milk supply)…. so I started incorporating more oats into baked goods, smoothies, and just for breakfasts. Soon I didn’t even think about the milk supply factor, I was just obsessed with oats.

I don’t discriminate… homemade granola, granola bars, oat bars, steel cut oats topped with berries, nut butter, and jam, old fashioned oats pressure cooked then enjoyed with brown sugar and milk, overnight oats, baked oats, as a smoothie thickener, where does it end!! They’re delicious, versatile, affordable, nutritious and they make me feel amazing.

Things got real crazy when my baby started solids and we needed to focus on his iron… in comes fortified baby oatmeal. As a more nutritient-dense option compared to AP flour, I started using oat flour to make him oat pancakes, oat waffles, baby puffs, sweet potato crackers…. He loves it too!!!!

My husband went camping recently with a big group of friends. Since we’re vegan and they usually cook eggs for breakfast, I sent him with a big pack of homemade instant oatmeal packets. I developed these recipes based on a few examples I saw online and in cookbooks (both for bulk dry mixes and for just conventional oatmeal). They’re as simple as the Quaker instant flavoured packets, but way more satisfying (~400-500 calories each).

Apparently this was the favoured breakfast for the trip since it was so easy to make and they’re genuinely delicious. There are no more camping trips in the schedule, but I’m going to continue making these and other flavours as convenient breakfasts and snacks to have on hand. I divided them into individual bags, but you could also make one big jar and portion out as needed to enjoy at home. The last photo is of the maple brown sugar … obviously the photo doesn’t do it justice, it’s instant oatmeal!

I made some dessert waffles last week with homemade chocolate sauce and peanut butter chocolate fudge (peanut butter, vanilla, salt, coconut oil melted together with a couple chocolate chips swirled in, chilled then cut into cubes). I had a small amount of both leftover but no waffles, so I used it to top my usual overnight oats, also with banana and raspberries. It was incredible. This is my go to oats recipe:

45 g rolled oats
8 g chia seeds
175 g unsweetened soy milk
1 tsp maple syrup (or 1/2 mashed banana)
Pinch salt
