If I have time, I'll soak raisins to plump them up and add them in with some walnuts. Mmmm I need to add all of this to my grocery list again :-) joyjoy on "How do you like your oatmeal?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-like-your-oatmeal-1#post-988977 Sun, 04 Aug 2013 21:39:59 +0000 joyjoy 988977@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @tysonja: Yup! That's why I love overnight soaking instead of cooking even regular oatmeal. It gives it a nice texture instead of mushy. :) pui on "How do you like your oatmeal?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-like-your-oatmeal-1#post-988933 Sun, 04 Aug 2013 21:07:07 +0000 pui 988933@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @Espion: I think you can get PB2 at a lot of organic/health grocery stores.

YUM. tysonja on "How do you like your oatmeal?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-like-your-oatmeal-1#post-987810 Sun, 04 Aug 2013 00:09:01 +0000 tysonja 987810@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @joyjoy: ohh i love it in muesli form too. so chewy and good :) tysonja on "How do you like your oatmeal?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-like-your-oatmeal-1#post-987808 Sun, 04 Aug 2013 00:08:30 +0000 tysonja 987808@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @mrskc: my mom introduced me to it! :) joyjoy on "How do you like your oatmeal?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-like-your-oatmeal-1#post-987807 Sun, 04 Aug 2013 00:08:28 +0000 joyjoy 987807@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I don't cook it. I soak oatmeal and muesli overnight in milk with some brown sugar. Love it! I'm going to try adding some nut butter in. I never thought of that! mrskc on "How do you like your oatmeal?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-like-your-oatmeal-1#post-987782 Sat, 03 Aug 2013 23:26:37 +0000 mrskc 987782@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @tysonja: never thought of adding an egg! I do peanut butter for some protein but an egg would work too. tysonja on "How do you like your oatmeal?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-like-your-oatmeal-1#post-987779 Sat, 03 Aug 2013 23:17:20 +0000 tysonja 987779@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @Espion: if you stir it in well right away it doesn't do much except maybe make the oatmeal thicker or creamier:) if you let it sit after cracking the egg and slowly stir it in you can get an egg drop soup kind of effect. It doesn't really change the taste, but I think it adds some nutritional boost! :) Espion on "How do you like your oatmeal?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-like-your-oatmeal-1#post-987777 Sat, 03 Aug 2013 23:14:30 +0000 Espion 987777@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @MungBean: Me too! I feel so boring after reading some of these, heh. @tysonja: I have never heard of adding an egg...what does this do to the oatmeal? @SupernovaJ: I use a slow cooker for steel cut. Load everything up in the crockpot, instant breakfast in the morning! @pui: Do you find that at a regular grocery store?

I am going to start eating steel cut oats and this is giving me so many ideas. At this point I just like the processed Quaker maple & brown sugar. :-P HLK208 on "How do you like your oatmeal?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-like-your-oatmeal-1#post-987623 Sat, 03 Aug 2013 21:00:27 +0000 HLK208 987623@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I haven't made it like this in awhile but, cooked in soy milk, peanut butter, a little bit of unsweetened cocoa powder, a tiny bit of brown sugar.

Omit one or more toppings to simplify. :happy: Our alternative is peanut butter and honey, and we do rolled oats if we don't have time for steel cut. tysonja on "How do you like your oatmeal?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-like-your-oatmeal-1#post-987271 Sat, 03 Aug 2013 16:16:42 +0000 tysonja 987271@https://boards.hellobee.com/ lots of ways, but our regular way is: large flake oats cooked with water until thick, add milk and keep cooking, then stir in an egg near the end of cooking. add a tiny bit of salt and some sort of sweetener (brown sugar, honey, or maple syrup). i like it thick and a bit lumpy. dh likes it when i make 'apple pie oatmeal' -- same method without an egg, but cooked with a diced apple, a bit of brown sugar, cinnamon, and a splash of vanilla. :) MrsH on "How do you like your oatmeal?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-like-your-oatmeal-1#post-987078 Sat, 03 Aug 2013 13:47:00 +0000 MrsH 987078@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Rolled oats with raisins a little brown sugar and a little cream if I'm feeling indulgent.

I put a tbsp of that and a tsp of sugar in my plain quick oats (cooked with water in the microwave) and it tastes just like peanut butter cookies!! nom nom nom.

It doesn't string like raw honey so it was perfect to eat! It's almost a solid but it melts in coffee, oatmeal, tea, etc and it is soooo yummy.
