Im hoping to replace the quaker instant maple with something healthier that I can overnight.
TIA !
I buy organic rolled oats all year round in bulk at my local Whole Foods. It’s 1.59lb in NYC.
I buy steel cut in the winter (for hot oats) and instapot it for 8 minutes. I think it’s 1.59lb in NYC also.
My take:
3/4 cup - Oats
2 teaspoon Chia seed
2 teaspoon Hemp seed
2 teaspoon Flax seed
cinnamon to taste
1 tablesppoon slivered almonds
1/4 cup frozen berries (thawed) to give it natural sweetness.
1 scoop Whey Protein (flavor of choice - vanilla)
Usually make this in overnight oats form (jar, ingredients and water to preferred moist level).
This keeps me full until lunchtime. Fiber rich and satiating.
Happy eating!
I do plain rolled oats bought in bulk. Maybe a little salt if I am allowed. Small pat of butter.
If I’m feeling froggy, add some cinnamon, dash of nutmeg, and some sweetener.
Usually I keep it plain. Realize that’s not everyone’s preference, but plain oatmeal is a great food by itself in terms of overall health!
I have two that are are my go-to
Chocolate oats:
40 g oats, 10 g cocoa powder, salt. Add boiling and leave in warm oven for 10 minutes or set plate on top to keep heat in. Mix in blueberries and cinnamon, top with chopped banana and peanut butter, sprinkle with salt
Savory Oats:
Basic Base: 1 cup steel cut oats (substitute 2 cups rolled oats), 3.5 c broth, https://www.thefullhelping.com/savory-steel-cut-oatmeal/, I like to mix with some miso paste, sauteed mushrooms, chicken or fried egg. Top with green onions
My go to is a mix of rolled oats, oat bran and wheat bran from Sainsbury’s. I cook it in water, then top off with milk/oat milk. I usually add chia seeds, hemp seeds, nuts, and either blueberries, banana or cherries. I also add a crack of black pepper and a bit of salt. Sometimes I add greek yogurt if I want more protein.
steel cut oats! lowest glycemic index of the varieties i believe….sometimes i bring a pot of them to a boil, then turn off heat, add a spoonful of yogurt/kefir, mix, and leave 12-24 hours on the stovetop to ferment the oats at room temp. so good wooooah….this breaks down phytic acid which can block some mineral absorption. this is the way. maybe i sound crazy but give it a goog’. ferment steel cut oats. one love mahn…..also buy organic oats, i think if you are gonna buy anything organic it makes sense to buy the bulk items, most bang for your buck and they will end up being a large portion of your calorie intake. hope u dig it :)
