You guys need to try savory oatmeal. Mix some crumbled bacon into a pot of oatmeal, some cheese, some frozen peas (do that one towards the end), or whatever sounds good to you. Sausage and/or mushroom also works great. Top with a hot sauce or crunchy chili oil or whatever, and top with a runny fried egg. Oh, and a sliced green onion if you've got one laying around. Honestly oatmeal is just a br...

I've never really thought of nonsavory oatmeal. I usually do cinnamon with backstrap. What's the other option palatewise

I recently learned you can make cold oatmeal overnight in the fridge. This is a game changer.

I mean, most people put fruit or sugar or something sweet in their oatmeal like pretty much every other post here

I asked an AI and apparently it's citrus zest. It's outer layer of lemon and oranges. Then you can add honey or syrup

Bergamot is actually the correct citrus but as a person who cooks and bakes a lot (and won my churches bake off today with key lime and lemon bars) this definitely wouldn’t taste like Froot Loops, I actually don’t even think it would taste that good in oatmeal…

Maybe use one of those mini-whisks for coffee etc to mix up the liquid and powder before adding them to the oats.

Oatmeal is considered a hot cereal.

High-fructose is an inverted sugar. There is a much higher fructose to glucose ratio and that can put excess strain on your liver as it has to convert that fructose into other products, mainly glucose as fructose itself cannot be used by the body directly for energy.

This is hilariously bad science. Whatever source you read on this was probably trying to sell you something.

Sugar is about 50% each glucose and fructose. HFCS is about 55% fructose and 45% glucose. The HFCS is absorbed by your body very very slightly faster than sugar, but while it's a measurable effect, it is basically meaningless. Numerous stufies have shown no connection to obesity, high blood pressure..... any problem you can probably think of.

Yes, my point is that they're the same thing.

I get it. I couldn't find cupcake mix the other day for my cupcakes so I had to use plain old cake mix instead. You gotta be resourceful!

Oatmeal is a cereal plant like grains

While true, nobody refers to a bowl of oatmeal as "cereal"

Heat the milk up slightly separately and add the spice into that. You want the liquid flavored.

There's a broader definition of "cereal" beyond Froot Loops and Corn Flakes.

A cereal is a grass cultivated for its edible grain. Cereals are the world's largest crops, and are therefore staple foods. They include rice, wheat, rye, oats, barley, millet, and maize.

How is it different from just boiling the oats in water?

(It's not. It's just a current food trend hype.)

OP discoveres what to do with free will

I mean, there are other things you can do with free will, too. Like a whole raft of things. It seems odd to attach such a broad concept to adding a few ingredients to oats, but you're not wrong.

If you eat the unpopped kernals and then stand in front of the microwave with the door open while it's running....... .........you can have a wild visit to the ER.... if you survive. (just being silly, your comment is correct and good advice)

I do this all the time! Are you watching me through the microwave camera???

No, I can't see you.

Move a little to your left. A little more. Okay, THERE, now I got you.

(I actually did this in the 90s when I was doing tech support - I knew what the customers were looking at on common tasks like driver installation and more than once I had someone ask if I could see them, and one time the call of the void won and I did basically the above, but I did tell them I was joking immediately. Had they complained, I could've gotten in trouble because companies have no sense of humour. heh)

They usually would qualify it with “hot cereal”

FYI Pumpkin spice is pumpkin pie spice. Most "pumpkin spice" flavored things contain 0 pumpkin. And pumpkin doesn't exactly have a particularly strong flavor on its own. The flavor people tend to associate with pumpkin are the spices you typically add to pumpkin pie. And it's basically just a blend of cinnamon, nutmeg, clove, ginger, and sometimes allspice.

Pumpkin has a strong and disgusting flavor which must be masked with spices to make it edible.

Corn, shitloads of sugar, food coloring, and glass.

Because I prefer it cold most of the time and I can preprepare it and get a consistent texture each time

Last week I discovered that I can just make chocolate chip cookies whenever I want. Way better than the stale premade packs.

You can make any flavor of cereal you want... as long as it's oatmeal.

Oatmeal isn't much of a flavour, it's a blank canvas.
