I bought pumpkin pie spice because I couldn’t find pumpkin spice. I made a pumpkin latte last night.
I made a simple recipe of oatmeal, pumpkin pie spice,milk and honey. It came out alright all the flavor was in certain chunks of the oatmeal. Need to brainstorm on how to distribute the flavor. Probably need to stir well
This is what the outcome of my first pumpkin pie spice cereal
“So what flavor is your cereal?”
“THEM”
Try mixing 1 tbsp cocoa powder, 1 tbsp brown sugar, and 1 tbsp of peanut butter into 1/2 cup oats + 1 cup milk. Tastes like an energy bar.
YSK that you can make any food you want
Maybe use one of those mini-whisks for coffee etc to mix up the liquid and powder before adding them to the oats.
You guys need to try savory oatmeal. Mix some crumbled bacon into a pot of oatmeal, some cheese, some frozen peas (do that one towards the end), or whatever sounds good to you. Sausage and/or mushroom also works great. Top with a hot sauce or crunchy chili oil or whatever, and top with a runny fried egg. Oh, and a sliced green onion if you’ve got one laying around. Honestly oatmeal is just a breakfast blank slate for toppings, like pizza or burgers or whatever. Get creative!
I’ve never really thought of nonsavory oatmeal. I usually do cinnamon with backstrap. What’s the other option palatewise
I mean, most people put fruit or sugar or something sweet in their oatmeal like pretty much every other post here
Oh yeah? Well what about fully loaded baked potato flavored cereal
Potato
I agree
I recently learned you can make cold oatmeal overnight in the fridge. This is a game changer.
Overnight oats are fantastic for your body
How is it different from just boiling the oats in water?
(It’s not. It’s just a current food trend hype.)
What a strange post. Yes. Yes you can mix any flavor you want with oats. I prefer savory and make them like I would cheese grits: butter, jalapeño, garlic, cheese. Or throw in cumin and some chili powder and cayenne. We typically do steel cut over rolled since we prefer the texture. My kids throw on vanilla and maple syrup.
It’s not as crunchy though, i want crunchy.
I do the same with rice and beans and stuff. Just a little of this and a little of that and BOOM: decent meal or three!
Also, a pro tip for plain rolled oats is coffee creamer and that strawberry syrup you use for ice cream or strawberry milk. Add some granola and raisens (stuff food pantries usually give out) and you have yourself a decent breakfast.
Im on a process food diet, but I do have an idea of pouring in corn syrup to cut out food processing middle men.
High-fructose corn syrup is in all meaningful ways the same as sugar. (Unless you’re allergic to corn. And the mouth feel in soda is slightly different).
High-fructose is an inverted sugar. There is a much higher fructose to glucose ratio and that can put excess strain on your liver as it has to convert that fructose into other products, mainly glucose as fructose itself cannot be used by the body directly for energy.
This is hilariously bad science. Whatever source you read on this was probably trying to sell you something.
Sugar is about 50% each glucose and fructose. HFCS is about 55% fructose and 45% glucose. The HFCS is absorbed by your body very very slightly faster than sugar, but while it’s a measurable effect, it is basically meaningless. Numerous stufies have shown no connection to obesity, high blood pressure… any problem you can probably think of.
One thing I discovered way too late is that it’s not worth it to distribute the flavour equally everywhere. Each bite giving me a different taste was the hit for me.
Miilquetoast chocolatey aftertaste is super underwhelming when compared to no chocolate for a while and then a full on chocolate award bite
One of my favorites: oatmeal with some cinnamon, nutmeg, raisins, finely-chopped walnuts, honey, and a tablespoon of chia seeds. Tastes good and it’s pretty good nutritionally.
I’m a big fan of fresh ground spices, and other seeds. The seed is nature’s storage form, till the time is right. The outside of chia seeds is a coating that absorbs water to help ensure germination. It’s the inside where the protein and essential fatty acids reside. Grinding immediately before using opens the seeds husk, and makes the nutrients in the interior available.
Curry powder is very good too.
Curry oatmeal? I’m intrigued is that good? Just curry powder or more?
Some options:
Raisins, cashews, peanut butter, molasses, honey. Not all at once.
not all at once
OP says i can make it whatever flavor I want, bro.
You couldn’t find pumpkin spice, so you used pumpkin spice?
Not sure if post is edited by now, but it 1st is “pumpkin spice” and 2nd is “pumpkin pie spice”.
Yes, my point is that they’re the same thing.
Never used either so TIL
I get it. I couldn’t find cupcake mix the other day for my cupcakes so I had to use plain old cake mix instead. You gotta be resourceful!
Stir everything else and add the oatmeal last. Also grow berries/fruit in your garden and put them in
