Overnight oats.

No. ... gross,

I'm a man. I cook thick cut rolled oats on a stove.

Like a man.

The only thing I use oats for is baking cookies.

I don't follow stupid trends.

No.

I do.

At first, I thought it was gross and slimy, but I have started to enjoy it. Almost like I started to enjoy the sliminess of natto while I was in Japan.

I also enjoy just making it the night before in a container and being done with it. One serving, for me, lasts two days as I am not a huge morning eater. I used to eat those Belvita biscuits every morning, but I wasn't getting the energy I required to get to lunch. Overnight oats fill me up enough to stop me from snacking (too much) before my next meal.

I use half a cup of oats, half a cup of Greek yogurt and half a cup of almond milk with a little handful of frozen dark cherries and a splash of the juice from them.

Finally, don't waste money on those brands of dry oats marketed as somehow designed for overnight oats. It's stupid. Regular oats work just as well, and a giant container of store brand are maybe half the price.

No. I’m lazy but even I’m not that lazy. And oatmeal is no treat. It’s like eating wet cardboard when it has all that liquid in it.

How would avoiding Yogurt make you thin? It isn’t that calorie dense.

I usually make steel-cut oats on the stove -- four servings at a time (2 cups water, 2 cups almond milk, 1 cup oats, 4 packets of Spenda, nuts, and some kind of dried fruit.) Takes 35-45 minutes, but then I have breakfast for four days.

Last week I decided to try the slow cooker overnight (8 hours on low) -- same recipe but I doubled it (and cut the Spenda down to 6 packets.) Came out decent; I froze four portions and kept the rest in the fridge. I think stovetop version is better because you can control how far it goes texture-wise. I guess you could do the same in the slow-cooker if you did it for a shorter time or watched it during the day.

I've also tried it in a rice & grain cooker, but it made a huge mess, and in a pressure cooker which was fine but came out overdone and was also messy.

Sounds like muesli.

I love oats. But I bathe in them more than eat them. I love oatmeal cookies.

Morning meals should be fat and protein, in my experience. Eggs are kind of perfect. Eggs and sausage even better. Nitrate free sausage. I like bland tuna sandwiches - use high protein bread.

If I want carbs, it's a banana.

No, I don't think I would like cold oatmeal.

It can be heated in the microwave, r11. I occasionally make it, with blueberries and bananas. My dog is thrilled because she gets some of both while I’m making it.

Love overnight oats, chia seeds, greek yoghurt, full cream milk, blueberries or chopped prunes etc. sprinkle mixed toasted nuts and seeds on top or drizzle of honey when ready to eat. Fills me up all morning....delicious.

R1- You both have it wrong. I only eat Organic Sprouted Oatmeal ( I buy a 5 pound bag at Costco) with chia seeds, hemp seeds, ground flaxseeds and a heaping tablespoon of Cacao powder.

The first time I tried them I used soy milk and they were awful - gave me stomach cramps. Now I do enjoy them with regular milk, peanut butter and some protein powder if I have it on hand. I take it out of the fridge about 20 min. before eating so it's closer to room temp.

[quote] I add a few blueberries and sometimes some coco power to mine.

Do you think Miss Peru shares this breakfast secret? Oh, Dear!

I do savory overnight oats with vegetable/chicken broth.

R17 could you give your recipe for savory oats?

I plan on making steel cut oats tomorrow morning and I have this carton of chicken broth that I opened up yesterday. And your idea sounds like a great experiment.

I use 3/4 cup of unsalted chicken broth, the same amount of unsalted vegetable broth and a little over a half a cup of Quaker Old Fashioned.

Sometimes I add a little salt or pepper, but usually not.

Occasionally I add a lightly scrambled egg.

Overnight oats are a slimy affair.

Thank you r19 😘

I’ll report back

I don't do overnight oatmeal. When I eat it I cook the old fashioned rolled oats and add cinnamon and brown sugar. I love it in the winter.

COCOA!

I'm embarrassed to admit this, but I put pumpkin pie spice in my steel-cut oats.

I’ve tried overnight oats in many places and at home and it’s good, but not worth the trouble to me personally.

The varieties I’ve tried in restaurants and coffee shops always tasted very sweet to me, I always assumed it was added sugar.

However when I made it at home with fruit like berries or peach, it had the same very sweet taste the next day.

I think the overnight process causes the natural sugars to disperse through the cold goo.

I prefer porridge.

Cream of wheat. Sometimes for dinner. With blueberries and agave syrup.

I’ve made em. Not crazy about em

[quote]I prefer porridge.

How do you feel about gruel?

Sometimes I will dice up a bit of apple to cook with the oats.

Do you not bring these oats up to kill temp? Eating raw grains is highly not recommended, how about some raw milk with that diseased brew? This will be the next deadly fad.

I'm not a fan of steel-cut oats. There is a sliminess factor. But I do like the chewy texture. So on the stovetop, I cook bulgur wheat in boiling water, and when it starts to thicken, I add a large quantity of quick rolled oats. The oats add the flavor and nutrition of oats, while the bulgur adds a nice chewy texture and also qualifies as a whole grain. All of that will cook thoroughly in about 20 minutes. I serve the finished product with some butter, some frozen fruit (blueberries, cherries or some mixed berry blend). and a little agave syrup. I also add a spoonful of psyillium powder.

I did not enjoy the savory oats which I cooked with chicken broth.

I’m glad I tried it, but the contents of the pot are going into the garbage disposal.

Tomorrow, I will make steel cuts oats with water, as normal.

I buy the Overnight Oats brand and have it for breakfast about half of the time. There are many flavors and if you're careful with what flavor you choose, the calories/sugar isn't too bad. I was skeptical at first but I like it. If you want to try a pack, they're available at Target. But, it's most cost efficient to order directly from them and they'll throw in a plastic shaker. For what it's worth...

I put chopped apple and raisins in 'em. You can use banana too. They don't need sugar, the fruit makes it plenty sweet.

I’ve tried it and it’s good! But not my personal favorite way to eat. I’ve been eating oatmeal in the morning all my life and I always go back to the simplest way.

Over the counter old fashioned oats (a generic grocery store brand is just fine) cooked in a bowl in the microwave with a little too much water. Take out piping hot and stir in generous amount of raisins and dash of cinnamon. Let sit for a few minutes as the raisins plump. Eat.

No bitch.

Apologies but you sound insufferable R14. That sounds like a fag. Not a MAN like R1 is.

I prefer oat bran.

I'M A GROWN MAN!

I would have them perhaps once a month because it is carb heavy. Due to overwhelming presence of glyphosates in oats in the US, I only use organic steel cut oats. I make it with almond milk instead of water. I add several items on top such as blueberries, walnuts, cacao nibs, coconut flakes, cinnamon and a tablespoon of maple syrup.

I get the store made ones - Mush is my preferred brand, but I also like Trader Joe's brand.

I have GI issues and mixing a small amount of the Mush with fruit, a bit of granola or muesli, and a dollop of yogurt has helped a lot with those digestive issues.

It is carb heavy so I usually have to make sure I have a more protein based lunch to balance things out.
