im at this moment, enjoying this delish mush: 1/3 of a cup of oatmeal, cooked with water and a dash of salt, then when it was almost done i grated half a pink lady apple into it. then added a sprinkle of cinnamon. i then chopped the rest of the apple up to top my oatmeal with a sprinkled brown suger over it. a clasic to be sure but the texture with the cooked and raw apple is AMAZING. share your favourites!
I eat only steel cut oats about 4 days per week.
1/4 cup dry cooked in 1 1/2 cups water for about 20ish minutes. I add 2 tablespoons ground flax seed, cinnamon, nutmeg and blueberries. Once a week I add chopped dried figs instead of blueberries.
Thanks,
Linda
I have always enjoyed the flavored oatmeal but its sooo high in sugar and haven't been able to eat in a long time because of that. This morning I made regular oatmeal (1/2 cup of oats, 1 cup of water) and then put sliced up fresh strawberries and a dash of vanilla soy milk.
I just want to say thank you to all the people posting that you make your oatmeal with water and add a splash of milk at the end. This is such a great idea! I'm a "milk maker" myself and won't make it with water because I like the creamy texture the milk adds. I'm wondering, though, if adding a splash at the end wouldn't do the very same thing for WAY LESS calories. I cook mine to death anyway so most of the liquid is absorbed/evaporated (or boiled over, LOL), so adding a splash shouldn't make it too soupy. I already add a little yogurt, too, at the end and, upon further deliberation, I'm thinkin' this is overkill. I could probably easily save myself 100+ calories in milk and never notice it. Will try. Thanks again, everybody!
