When you eat them raw, do you eat them alone?

Or do you mix your raw oats with anything?


(Thanks.)

Which one is better?

If you are using scotch oats (looks like rice that has been chopped up) or oatbran (looks like very course sand) then you need to cook it.

Every morning i add a cup of dry, rolled oats in a bowl with 1 cup milk, bananas, and cinnamon. I was wondering if this is good for cutting? If not, what should i do instead...and i prefer to eat them dry because i dont like cooking them.
