Oatmeal

[Tokash]

Does anybody have any good recipes? I have always hated oatmeal as its a texture thing for me. However a couple of weeks ago I had a craving for it amd bout some instant packets. I have profected it and use half the water it calls for so it isn't a nasty texture. Now I would like to start making some of my own but don't know how to get the flavor right. I like apple cinnamon largely because it's stronger in flavor. So basically anything that has a stronger flavor would be good.

I always thought the instant packets called for too much liquid.

I know the overnight oatmeal "jars" were really popular, I never got into them, but wanted to. I do not like the instant oatmeal packets, too sugary I feel. I haven't eaten oatmeal in awhile, but I used to like to make my own instant oats, add a little brown sugar and cinnamon and that's it. Try milk instead of water also. I would be interested in some healthy ideas.

I LOVE oatmeal. LOVE IT! I make overnight oats and eat them cold, although you can heat them up. When I run out (my recipe lasts 6 days) I make it hot on the 7th. Any of the sugar free syrups, like Torani or Jordans Skinny Syrup, also make excellent oatmeal flavoring. Torani has a brown sugar cinnamon that goes great in oatmeal, but vanilla, caramel, mocha, strawberry are all good, depending on your flavor preferences. Here's the link to my oatmeal recipes I've already shared.

I do mostly use instant packets as its for a quick snack at work. I only use reduce sugar packets. I use water, milk makes me gag and I can not stand the taste/creamy factor.

I did make my own from old fashion oats, cinnamon and cranberry

Thank y'all for reminding how good oats & oatmeal could be. I grew up eating cream of wheat made with milk, with a little butter & brown sugar melting on top.

My husband introduced me to maple brown sugar flavored instant oatmeal. It was the 1st time I could enjoy oatmeal, gradually becoming accustomed to the texture & flavor.

I got out of the oatmeal habit, but I'm about ready to dip my toes back in. Y'all really inspire me more than you'll ever know. ❤❤❤❤
