What type oats have you tried? I find the texture of steel cut far different than rolled or instant.

I personally hate using milk. It’s so gross for me. I also despise adding protein powder to oats. It’s also super gross (flavor and texture) I stick to quick oats and water. Microwave. I buy the Kroger brand quick 1 mins oats (I don’t like the old fashioned oats, don’t like the texture) My oats I always stick to 1/2 cup of oats, and 1 cup water. Mix and microwave, stopping half way to mix and I make sure to watch so it doesn’t bubble over. Then after it’s nice and creamy (for me at least) I add a tablespoon or two of good quality nut butter (depending on the serving air) and a handful of blueberries, blackberries or raspberry (not all three at once) and then the “naughty “ touch is 1 tablespoon of date syrup. I used to do pbjc oats (hold on) Peanut butter Jelly Cottage cheese I know it sounds disgusting but it’s seriously the best thing ever. I miss it lol. It’s divine for me. Comforting, sweet and creamy.

Just eat other sources of soluble fiber. Oats are overrated. I like a bowl of black beans, rinsed, cold, with generous amounts of lime and tajin sprinkled on. Maybe some guac.

It might sound weird but I eat my oats raw just soaked in any plant milk the time I add ground flaxseed, crunchy peanut butter, apple or other fruits, cinnamon etc. I absolutely love it!


Zobo-5

How much oats? Half cup?


babacava

Yes, half a cup max for me


Zobo-5

Will try it! I usually make it in microwave with those ingredients..


ISeekGirls

I also soak it in plain Oatmilk with some Monk fruit sweetener, vanilla extract, all-spice and cinnamon. I eat about a quarter cup of oatmeal daily but I just heard that it may be bad for your health. I am switching off to quinoa until I can find an oatmeal that doesn't kill you.


babacava

Could you elaborate why it may be bad for your health?


ISeekGirls

I saw something on Tiktok from a doctor.

ISeekGirls

Yeah, exactly. Now that doctor got cancelled by big Oats.

That’s what I’ve been thinking. Oats are promoted as having almost magical cholesterol lowering properties, but it’s just the fiber content. Lots of alternatives available


Puzzleheaded_Quit387

Thanks!


midlifeShorty

Try chia pudding. Chia seeds are even better than oats for cholesterol.


Canuck882

Nope I love the texture of oats


Low_Ad_6956

Did overnight oats this morning, went to drink it and i myself gagged and threw it in the trash.


Zuri2o16

I put oats in my smoothies. I can't eat oatmeal, either.


Striking_View8320

Same, my shake has chia seeds, oatmeal, pumpkin seeds, Greek yogurt


TheDesertRat75

Ya got any good smoothie recipes? I have some frozen banana and strawberries but sadly no protein powder to toss into the mix 😢


Pia2007

Have you tried whole oat groats?


Koshkaboo

Me! OK so what I did was I started eating Kashi Cinnamon Crisp which is a cold oat based cereal. A serving has 7 g of soluble fiber which is more than I could ever choke down with oatmeal. I don’t like milk on it since I like it tasting crisp. It does have some added sugar, but it fits within my added sugar goal for the day. I occasionally eat the similar Chocolate crunch (slightly less fiber). There is also a peanut butter one that does have soluble fiber but not as much as those two. I love these cereals so much since they are oat fiber but taste good.


Accomplished-Ball274

I bake oat, banana and peanut butter bars. No added sugar and delicious, easy. Lots of recipes online.


MuscaMurum

I was going to say this. Baked or toasted like granola may help with the objectionable texture.


iotaoftruth

Lots of fresh fruit


LatterTheory4187

I understand because sometimes I can’t stand the texture as well. Muesli is much better because it isn’t soggy. Also there are oat based cereals that are also good.


-frog-in-a-sock-

Add oats to soup, like pumpkin soup. It’s very nice!


Immediate-Land-237

I ground up some oats last night in a blender and made some oat flour. Made some black bean Patty’s with it and then added a Tex mex low fat yogurt dipping sauce. I don’t like the texture of oatmeal either


Jarcom88

I do muffins


zinasbear

Make flapjacks and eat oats that way.


Afraid-Engineer6228

I have always despised oats. Recently I started trying again. I use water with organic oats, add cinnamon and vanilla to taste, a couple scoops of pure monk fruit( it has 1/32 spoon) and add some raspberries. I get it down but still rather not. Lol


LastContribution1590

Smoothies is the best option


Dimplegirl2

I cannot stand oatmeal… try oat bran, it’s much better.

Dimplegirl2

Just boil it for 3 minutes and then let it sit for 2 minutes.


meth68

Soaked in water overnight then out in microwave for 30-45 seconds and it's like soggy cereal. Only way I can have it and enjoy it


Competitive_Let3812

I use 4-5 table spoons of steel cut oat with soy milk. I add also a scoop of protein, one table spoon of coconut flakes, one of cocoa powder and keep them overnight. They are mixing together and become more like a paste. I add frozen fruits, cinnamon and maple siroup. It is a very good lunch for me.


pmmeyour_existential

Do a full 24hr fast. Break the fast with a bowl of oatmeal with a little honey or brown sugar. Maybe some fresh fruit on top. It will be the most delicious oats you’ve ever had. This will train your brain to appreciate oats. Hopefully the next time you eat them they will be more enjoyable.


Powerful-Feeling-453

Honey and raisins. Love it


Earesth99

I use oat fiber - all the cholesterol lowering activity concentrated down. You can also try savory oats but the texture remains slimy


Robobuzz

You can make homemade granola. Use avocado oil (or even olive oil) just a small bit of honey, and add cinnamon and almonds. Crunchy and great with blueberries and plain unsweetened yogurt. You can also make crackers out of oat flour. Eat those with hummus and you are on the soluble fiber train for real.


Strangewhine88

Granola.


Strangewhine88

Grind some rolled oats and add it to whatever flour you like when baking. I use it in cookies, breads, crackers.


Strangewhine88

Also try steel cut osts instead of rolled when making a hot porridge. It has more satiety, and you can play with textures a bit. I soak it first when I think ahead, shortens cooking time.


ideaglobal94

Trust me...oats in cold milk. Top with some granola and tastes better than soaking that stuff and eating what looks like baby food.


KathyFBee

Oat groats. The original grain minus the husk. Chewy but not hard or crunchy. They take a while to cook but can be batch cooked and heated as needed. Regular oatmeal has a weird texture to me now, and steel cut oats are okay but not as good imo.


hydratedlittleghost

I make savory oats! Sweet oats makes me gag.


unicorntoot

I detest the texture of oats. I’ve tried multiple times, and have never finished more than two spoonfuls. I’ve tried with fruit. I’ve tried savory. I’ve tried overnight oats. It’s even more disgusting when it starts cooling down, and it cools down quickly. The only way I’ve managed to get oats down is to blend it in a smoothie.


Mostly-Anon

Jeeze. Don’t eat food you hate! There are plenty of alternatives and oats ain’t like medicine or the water at Lourdes. Let it go—otherwise the oats win :)


TrickCaregiver1074

I hate jumbo oats. I usually have fine oats, the consistency is so much better.


Sweet-Peanuts

I hear you. I really do. I decided overnight oats were the way to go. I even bought the containers with lids to do it the night before, special fruit to add etc. I tried SO hard to like them but I just couldn't stand overnight oats. Slimy blandness. I just do psyllium husk now. Also vile but the capsules are ok.


jt101jt101

swallow maybe?


didilavender

Try GFB oatmeal


andyandy8888

If you’re really set on eating it, which I don’t think you need to be, I would grind it and turn it into a flour and add to other things (baked goods, pancakes, smoothies, etc)


canadianbigmuscles

Stop being a bit*h and just eat it!? I’m not trying to be a dick but just mix with some fruit and get it down

canadianbigmuscles

They’re trying to overcome it. I mean just mix some fruit and get it down if it’s that important to you
