I am yet to perfect steel cut oats... but I'm getting better at it!

I'm like you- oatmeal is a big deal. I have it almost everyday. Except for when I have pancakes, but that's ok because I put oatmeal in the pancakes... ha ha

 

I prefer the steel cut oats b/c of the chewy texture as opposed to rolled oats. I was always afraid to mess with cooking them too. I thought they would be sooo much trouble I found a recipe that I use to make overnight steel cut oats that I reheat the next morning at work too. On the weekends, I just do the regular method. Love topping with peanut butter, sugar-free jam, and bananas.

 

I've yet to try steel-cut oats...they just seem so labor intensive! Plus, I love my rolled oats, so if it ain't broke, why fix it?

But...I do hear good things! I should probably give them a try!

 

I love oats! The banana split is a great idea!

 

I have an on-again, off-again relationship with oats, and my favorite is Bob's Red Mill Gluten-Free Rolled Oats. They take a little longer to cook, but it's worth the wait! I usually add a little raw honey and flax meal, and I went through a phase where I was mixing in hemp butter, too... Delicious!

 

Bob's products are the best! i know exactly what u mean about baking.. oat flakes..or quick oats are great for muffins and cookies..or loaves too.. and oat bran is amazing for pancakes or waffles!!! fabulous <3

 

what a great blog, I will definetely follow you! such an interesting design!! :) the cookies and banana split oatmeal looks so heavenly delicious!!! I will have to note to myself that I have to recreate these!! :)

 

I wish I had a unique answer but I have got to say that my ultimate bowl of oats is pumpkin with cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice, maca powder, and maple almond butter stirred in!

 

Oats and brown rice are the two greatest edible substances on earth. No doubt! They don't even need anything added. Maybe a pinch of salt. That's it. They need nothing else! Such comfort.

Phew. Now I'm all worked up about oats! :)

VeganDukkaGirl recently posted a neat savory oats recipe with HUMMUS! I haven't tried it yet, but it's on my list. Head over to her blog and check it out. It's VeganDukkaGirl.blogspot.com.

 

I will take some bites of each one of those things. I have a huge container of steel cut oats in my pantry that I haven't used. You've inspired me to get it going! :)

 

As always - everything looks so delicious! I've yet to try oat groats - but went through a major steel cut obsession :) A super easy way to prepare them is to bring them to a boil with the water the night before, and then shut off and cover for the night. The next morning you just need to re-heat them - really not much longer than preparing normal oats.

And I don't think I can play favorites when it comes to oats - they're all welcome in my home :P

 

I do overnight oats mixed with banana and protein powder (chocolate) have psted about them a ton, call them overnight chocolate brownie protein oats. REally good. Otherwise i used oats IN things, grind them as flour or as a bulk grain in my homemade granola bars, that type of thing.

As for your blog changing, heck yea! you guys have so many food intols that of COURSE your blog had to change..otherwise you'd be shredding your guts if you kept eating (and blogging) the same old way :)

I love steel cut oats and have them every day for breakfast! It's nice to have a fellow oat fanatic.

 

I'm also a fan of quick oats (I can hear gasps from the blog world right now) haha.

 

For hot cereal, I favor Bob's Red Mill Organic Old-Fashioned Rolled Oats + Arrowhead Mills Organic Rice & Shine (gluten-free), but have always been a bit confused over the debate about whether or not oats actually contain gluten. Seems to be a tricky topic. Haven't had steel cut oats in a long time; strangely, don't believe I've ever seen an organic version. Wonder if steel cut is the kind they serve at diners/hotel continental breakfasts that make it so dense/lumpy and satisfying (or is that just the unfortunately likely hidden added milk...)?

 

Mmm, I just love oats! I haven't ever tried steel cut, but now you've convinced me to give them a shot! I love a chewy texture. I tend to stick with old fashioned rolled oats. I used to have a strong love affair going with oatbran too. All are delicious!

I want to bake up a batch of those cookies too! I bet they're the perfect sweet treat!

 

I love your "banana split"! What a great idea!

 

Thank you very much for your kind words about our Gluten Free Steel Cut Oats. We're so happy to hear that you enjoyed them!
