Looking for yummy recipes to use up quick oats. (Other than oatmeal, of course)
-
I use oats in muffins a lot. You can also use them in place of bread crumbs in meatloaf or meatballs. Or put them in a food processor with dates and a nut butter, blend till it sticks together and make energy balls out of it.

My husband is so happy when I make this:

If we're ever making any kind of bars these are my go to! Not super healthy, but they do use up the quick oats!
-
@MOMTOLITTLEB: I saw those and wondered if they were good!
@winter_wonder: yum!
@jedeve: you juSt snack on them? -
Topping for fruit crisp!
Flour + oats + butter + brown sugar + spices, mixed together with a pastry cutter, fork, or fingers.
-
This is going to sound kind of weird, but I put them in smoothies to make it a little more filling. You just blend up the uncooked oats first so they turn powdery, then add the other ingredients. I like this recipe (and I also add cinnamon to it): http://www.ambitiouskitchen.com/2013/02/vegan-almond-butter-banana-oat-smoothie/

I can't find the recipe but I like no bake chocolate peanut butter cookies.
-
@travellingbee: Yeah. There is a million versions on Pinterest. Here is one without dates: http://www.gimmesomeoven.com/no-bake-energy-bites/

As a topping on pie (or a fruit crisp!)... or make some oatmeal chocolate chip cookies, yum!
-
Can you do nuts? We take any chocolate chip oatmeal cookie recipe and modify it thusly:
Swap half the butter for peanut butter
Decrease the sugar by 1/3-1/2
Add a cup of sliced almonds
Swap mini chocolate chips for regular and decrease amountThey're so good. I mean still a cookie, but a little protein and fiber. They're a great nursing snack.

Baked oatmeal bars.
-
Also, you can grind them into flour and sub for up to 50% of wheat flour in baking recipes.
-
I use it in pancakes and waffles a lot!
-

Yay! So glad you liked them. A friend shared that recipe with me several years ago. I love easy snacks! I got some oats last night and plan to make some today.
