White People and Oatmeal

dont forget about those chia seeds. They soak those too.

 

White person checking in here. I used to love oatmeal, but I never eat breakfast anymore since I'm on Wegovy for weight loss. True story.

 

Truth be told, I became less and less of an oatmeal fan even before I found Christ and Wegovy. In that order.

 

Anyone ever have this? It was a super special breakfast when I was a kid. They don't sell it anywhere around here, but we had family in Indiana that would bring us multiple boxes when they came to visit.

 

Unless it is cookies. . . Oatmeal is No Meal

Like the cookies. **** raisins in them, though. Yuck

 

Oatmeal is good for you and the diabeetus.

You're on the hunt for chocolate chips, end up with IEDs of healthiness, and a part of you dies inside.

 

Oatmeal chocolate chip cookies are delicious.

 

bircher museli? i actually prefer it to cooked oats for breakfast.

 

Fell off oatmeal when they discontinued Undercover Bears .. and I ain't talking about Mike Ditka

 

its good for your poo poo

 

I eat oatmeal. I'm not sure I like oatmeal. I'm not sure anyone does. But I still eat it.

 

I seen videos on this. I think that the overnight soak has a similar effect as cooking them. The overnight oatmeal soaking recipes all seem to be loaded with fat and sugar, which is not great for you. I guess the sugar and fat make the fiber go down easier.

FWIW, I love oatmeal cookies with raisins, dates, cherries, cranberries, etc. My family thinks I am nutz but that is another story

 

Regular oats, I buy them in a big bag at Costco. I like the overnight oats because it takes ~1 minute to prepare and then I put some fruit and nuts on it in the morning. Good option for when I don't want to think early in the day.

 

They serve oatmeal at Cracker Barrel.

 

Asian here but I eat a lot of oatmeal. My go to breakfast is oatmeal and trail mix.

The soaking overnight I think is for steel cut or whole oats. Most people eat rolled oats which are flat and cook faster. Oats are actually round and steel cut oats are chopped up round bits. As such they cook much slower than rolled oats. I don’t do the soaking overnight but might try it. Generally I cook steel cut oats slowly for about half an hour. I cook a large batch once a week and then age single servings that I can reheat for breakfast each weekday.

For Asians or others looking for a different flavor oatmeal is similar to congee and has more nutrients than rice. I will sometimes eat it with sesame oil, Chinese pickled daikon, pork floss and other stuff normally eaten with congee.

 

Chocolate, peanut butter and butterscotch chip cookies with oats and crunchy peanut butter.

You're welcome.
