Goodness I’ve tried it so many times, even cheating and putting a little maple syrup in it, granola, cinnamon. Still can’t stand it. Reminds me of the gloop they eat in the matrix. I wish I liked it. Do you eat it plain?
- 1/4 cup sprouted oats
- bit less than a handful of frozen mango, frozen strawberries, 1 banana
- small amount of goji berries
- 1 tbsp ground flax
- 1/3 tbsp cinnamon
- 1 cup water
Stir to mix and then pressure cook in instant pot for 10 minutes. Prepare large eating bowl with:
- 1/2 cup frozen blueberries
- 1/2 cup walnuts
Pour porridge on top and mix (the frozen berries will defrost and bring everything to almost a good eating temperature, but leaving enough time to clean the pot before it has truly cooled enough). I guessed on a few measurements since I only really measure the oats, water, and powdered ingredients and eyeball everything else. Easy to adapt for >1 person.
I'd never bother trying to find a "healthy" cereal in a box as long as I had access to basic cooking and food storage facilities.
im sure its good though.
First, if you don't like the texture, as others have suggested, go with steel cut oats or whole oats (I always get Quaker whole oats, cheaper than a lot of the steel cut oat brands).
I like my oats savory. I pretty much eyeball everything but I do about a little more than half a cup, add water until I can barely feel it through the top of the oats, microwave for 2 minutes. Then add a little bit of butter and salt, mix it up, and you've got yourself a breakfast.
I use regular rolled oats with 2 parts milk, 2 parts water and 1 part heavy cream.
Have you tried steel-cut oats? They are wonderfully chewy [0]. I usually mix a little rolled oats into some steel cut.
Or something like oat flour pancakes. You can even make a bunch ahead of time, freeze them, then reheat in a toaster in the morning.
I can’t get over oatmeal’s texture.
