:rotflmao:But.... Oatmeal is not nice... :sad:
And I don’t feel satisfaction eating oatmeal.
Whenever I take Quaker’s instant oak (red packaging) for bfast, my heart tends to beat very fast and I get hungry before noon.
For the quick cook Quaker (blue packing), I don’t get side effects and it seems more filling! But I lazy to cook.
When the small pot of water boils, I feel like putting in a packet of instant noodles instead of oatmeal.
I only eat oats when have breakfast with dh..dh will put anything that can be added in..he even added dried longan before. He will let it cooked in hot water for about half and hour..actually taste not bad..and look very nutritious too..a bowl full of goodness..but always go with other food like cakes or bread and a banana. -

I agree with you - I don't like mushy oatmeal! I've tried it with various things, but in general, I don't like mush. I make granola instead, using rolled & quick cook oats with nuts, seeds and some dried fruit, and because I make it myself, I can reduce the amount of sugar so that it is sweet enough for my taste but not as sweet as ready-made granola. I like the crunch of the toasted granola and nuts etc. and I find that a bowl (about 3-4 tablespoons) keeps me full all morning. I make a big batch at a time so I only need to do it once in 2 weeks or so and it stores well.But.... Oatmeal is not nice... :sad:

I've not compared the effects of the various types of oats, but instant oats are the most processed, followed by quick cook oats, then rolled oats. The least processed are steel cut oats, but they need longer cooking time. -
I also go only for rolled or steel cut oats. No instant oat for me.
My fuss free way, bring water to boil, dump 3-4 tablespoons oats in it. Bring to boil again. Transfer into thermal container drizzle some honey or maple syrup, add a dash of cinnamon. The oats will continue cook as I make my way to the office. Other times I will make savoury oats.
Whether or not it can last me till lunch depends on what time I eat my breakfast. In the past I will eat as early as 6+am and by 10am I will be hungry. So these days I try to eat only after 8am. That will take me through till lunch time. -
we shall give the rolled/steel oats a try…always instant as so convenient.
oh yeah we have this 0.7l mini slow cooker gotten free last time…maybe can used that to cook…anyway dh usually waits for half hr before eating. -

Taking a bubble bath with soft music, candles, and a glass of ice-cold sparkling cider in your best crystal flute. Ughhh how I missed having a me time!

I know, good life it is if this is going to happen again.

I can’t eat cooked oatmeal. Can’t stand the taste or the texture. But I like overnight oats. 1/2 cup of rolled or steel cut oats, 3/4 cup of milk, 2 or 3 tablespoons of berry yoghurt and a sprinkle of almonds, cranberries, dried apricots or fresh fruit. Yum!But.... Oatmeal is not nice... :sad:

I love overnight oats too! I read this tip online where we can use it to “finish up” leftover Nutella, peanut butter, kaya...whatever jam that usually comes in a glass jar. There’s always some leftover stuck to the glass, right?
Just add the dry rolled oats, milk, plus whatever dried berries or nuts u wish, then let it soak overnight in the fridge. Next morning, the oats would have absorbed the milk. Stir it around to mix properly, then top up with a bit more milk and voila! Nice chilled and healthy brekkie :boogie: -
Sounds yummy, I would like to try too…

I add the oats to acai. Since I blend a banana and berries/vegetables with the acai, it will be already quite flavourful. Coupled with chocolate chips/pearls, seeds, nuts, dried fruits, etc, it is actually quite nice and filling.
Most of my friends have been eating oats for years for weight management - most of us are back to pre-pregnancy size by the time we go back to work. -

I buy alot of nuts/seeds/dried fruits online nowadays..can be so much cheaper sometimes or at least get free delivery.
