how to prepare oats

[assassin]

i bought some oats for the first time i try them but i really don't know what's the easiest and best way to prepare them ,,, that'll be my first meal at the morning so i guess i'll choose the most time efficient way......the method written on the box is to boil them with water or milk for 5 minutes.. iwas wondering could i boil some water in the boiler and pour it with the oats and leave it for a couple of minutes ..???or i must put it on the fire??

I pour a cup or 2 of oats in a bowl, add milk and a few tbsp of peanut butter and eat it like cereal. If you like peanut butter, you will love this. I've heard of some people adding a teaspoon of cocoa powder as well. I don't eat oats any other way because I like this so much!

Two options....

1) Do as you said...boil some water and add it to the oats...cover and let sit while you prep yourself for the morning.

2) Add water and oats in a bowl both cold and put it in the microwave....set it and forget it! Once your done getting ready in the morning you breakfast is ready and slightly cooled.

As for seasonings...any for of artificial sugar I have found tastes better in the oats after it has slightly cooled...cinnimon is the other way around...I feel it needs to be warmed to get its full flavor. Chop a bit of apple, some cinn, and throw all that in a bowl with water & oats and nuke it! Best thing ever!!

Spot on with the microwave, simple for me really as it told me on the bag of scottish oats i bought, powdered skimmed with mine and chuck in some dried fruit just to give it some more taste....lovely just had some actually..

nuke the oats in the microwave, then throw in a scoop of your protein pwoder dry after. Mix with alittle milk.

I prefer the stove top instead of the microwave.

takes too long

2 scoops whey 1cup oats 1/2 cup of water blend the water and whey pour over oats mix up and it looks like a candy and tastes pretty good also. I bet you could shape it into a bar and let it sit for 3-4 hours and would have a protein bar. I think that whey is supposed to be eaten soon after water is added.

I just pour the oats and milk and stick it in the microwave. Takes 3 minutes tops.

 

[assassin]

what about a tbs of honey ....i used the powderd milk today it was quite easier

I thought the protein would denature if put into the microwave.

i bought a stupid brand of whey it was from france (eafit 95+ milk and egg) it never dissolves in the shake so i tried once to use heated water ..it transformed to gum like and never dissolved but i guess something like 100%whey ( optimum) will work well......i don't think also it may lose any nutrients...

why not just wait until after the stuff is cooked?

I mix in my whey in after I microwave the milk and oats.

Raw Oats Yeurk! no way!

I either have a whole grain cereal (cherios etc) or I have oats but they fill me and make me feel bloated, which I cant stand.

 

[juggernaut]

cheerios??

Why not lucky charms? Or Frankenberry?

 

[Seanp156]

takes too long

5 minutes is too long?

 

[leg_press]

I'll have any cereal which uses the whole grain and is low in sugar and salt, wheatbix, shredding wheat etc. Cheerios arent that bad and u cant get lucky charms in the United Kingdom.

Compare oat's glycemic index to almost any cereal and you'll see why most eat oats.

 

[assassin]

sometimes i use a tbs of honey with the milk+oats...it's cool

Compare oat's glycemic index to almost any cereal and you'll see why most eat oats.

also it has a good amount of protein and makes u feel filled for a while,has a good amount of fibers and minerals ........as it is a whole grain.....also very low glycemic index

 

[Willsnarf]

natural yoghurt, raw oats, sultanas and a little bit of honey.....gorgeous!, specially if u let the raisens soak overnight

Old Fashioned oats for breakfast every single day forever. .5 to 1 cup of oats, add water and nuke for 1 - 1.5 minutes and eat. Mmmmm. I'm in such a hurry for work, things like this are great. I'm stuck steaming broccoli and putting it into a plastic bag and eating it while driving to work.

I'm only 135lbs which I no is pretty light, if I eat oats in the morning I feel sluggish all day and dont feel like eating anything thats why I compromise and eat a wholegrain breakfast cereal.
