I can’t enjoy oatmeal to save my life. How do you guys make yours?

>>10958543
oatmeal fucking sucks.

>>10958546
Well first you need to figure out what consistency you like your oats. You can have crunchy chewy and mushy depending on the thinness of the oat and how long it was soaked/cooked. Then you need to figure out what you want in it, and if you want it in before or after cooking.

For hardness it goes:
Steel cut/Irish oats
Stone Ground/Scottish oats
Old-fashioned/Rolled oats
Quick cooking oats
Instant oats

My "perfect bowl" is simple old-fashioned oats with a couple medjool dates soaked long enough for the dates to replump, with a dash of nutmeg and cinnamon. The dates mash in and give it the perfect level of sweetness, for me.

Cinnamon
Nutmeg
Brown sugar

Congrats
I’m here right now

i wanted to like oats so much but don't believe something you have to add any kind of sugar to to make edible is worth eating.

I like to soak mine in baileys

>>10958598
use fruit.

>>10958598
You can add raisins or sweet fruits

>>10958598
You don't though. Savory oatmeal is a thing.

>>10958546
I add cold milk and that's it. I eat this every day for lunch and sometimes breakfast too.

>>10958615
You must look like an idiot eating cold oats

>tfw discovering ham/egg/cheese oatmeal for the first time

Truly a life changing experience.

>>10958543
There is none. I eat oatmeal every morning, preferable with a sliced banana.

>>10958546
1 cup oatmeal
2 tbsp cocao powder
3/4 cup milk
1tbsp maple syrup
Mix cocoa powder and oatmeal, pour milk in, stir and microwave for 1:30, stir again and microwave another 1:30. Pour in maple syrup, 1 final stir and done. You can also add peanut butter, it's fucking god tier

>>10958543
OATMEAL? ARE YOU CRAZY?

>>10958618
Whenever I eat bread I get horrible gas in the afternoon and I feel bloated like a whale. I don't have this when I eat oats. All my coworkers are pretty fit too so no I don't look like an idiot here.

I love the idea of it, and I could probably get decent macros by mixing in some whey powder.

But in the morning I always crave something with egg. I guess I'm becoming an American.

3 eggs
3 thick cut strips of bacon (cook the eggs in the leftover bacon grease)
1 cup rolled oats since steel cut takes too long in the morning
1 banana
1 branch of celery to keep semen loads thicc
1 pint of whole milk
1 pack of cigarettes
As much water as you want

This is objectively the GOAT bulking breakfast

Eat more fiber

Dude. The best way to make oatmeal is adding an egg before cooking it. Makes it incredibly creamy and buttery.

>>10958546
Cooked in milk with salt and walnuts. If I add sugar to oatmeal, either a small amount leaves it still tasting bland or enough to make it taste good means I get sick of the sugar before I'm actually full. The walnuts give it more flavor and texture and it does actually taste good with only salt. It probably sounds unappetizing and weird to people who are used to eating it with sugar but I prefer it that way.

>>10958565
you might be shit at making oatmeal. What's your method?

>>10958594
Man, fuck you
Thought it was some cool space station pic but it was just flipped
Dumb shitphone posters

Try using a single medjool date that has soaked in water long enough to plump back up.

>>10958543
If I have a bigass bowl of 50g of oats for breakfast, I am absolutely goddamn starving a few hours later.

If I just have a few eggs, it's no problem at all.

>>10959633
You need to switch to steel cut.

>>10959633
>If I have a bigass bowl of 50g of oats for breakfast, I am absolutely goddamn starving a few hours later
that sentence tells me that you've never starved a single day in your entire life.

>>10959633
>If I have a bigass bowl of 50g of oats for breakfast
Do you cook them in water or milk?

>>10958623
how do you prep it?

>>10959633
I noticed the same thing, getting stuffed with oatmeal makes my belly wubble in 3 hours while less filling food lasts until the lunch break.

>>10958598
As >>10958611 said, savory oatmeal is a thing

>make mussels one night using some random online recipe, ended up being delicious
>save all the broth/mussel liquor/whatever you want to call the liquid left over, full of mussel flavor and spices
>a few days later wake up for work, make oatmeal because running late already
>take liquid, bring to boiil
>put dry oatmeal in bowl
>pour liquid in
>stir constantly
Was all I needed.

>>10958730

all you need, you can add something sweet if you are under 9 years of age

>>10958543
I mix my protein powder in, it hides it well.
