Ginger, cinnamon, clove

Forget the oatmeal and just eat some eggs or some granola, either are infinitely better with superior taste

I've been making egg tacos when I have the time anon. I love how easy it is, you literally cannot mess up.

>What are some good things to add to oatmeal /ck/?
Walnuts, cooked apples. Sometimes I just like to eat it with milk and a little salt.

Kind of defeats the purpose of having steel cut, but you can also just blend the oats into flour and make pancakes or something. Oat flour pancakes have a nice texture.

I make it with 1/2 or 1/3 milk to water (generally whole). Steel is already pretty thick, but the lipids really smooth it out and make it savory. I generally top with some honey or maple syrup, but I need every calorie I can get a hold of.

With the milk sugar, you might try diced apples and cinnamon.

The video I watched on YouTube also suggested milk, you anons know your stuff. I'm going to definitely try it with milk next time and see how that turns out.

I don't have cinnamon but next time I head to the store I'll pick some up.

>>11493580
Just for you anon.

>>11493577
Checked, and will grab raspberries when I'm at the store... I'm 29 and I've never had one before.. LOL

>>11493569
am i being an idiot or are you making tacos out of eggs, like egg taco shells?

I take four eggs and a handful of shredded cheese, and fry it up. Then I divide it up into two halves and throw it on some soft flour shells.

Takes like 10m to make and I throw some sauce on it, usually salsa or marinara sauce.

>>11493547
>What are some good things to add to oatmeal /ck/?
aspartame

>>11493547
If you use steel cut oatmeal because it has more protein, but then add a bunch of sugar/carbs to make it palatable, maybe you would have been better off with instant oatmeal in the first place?

>>11493780
You're not wrong, but I figure this way I can at least moderate how sweet I want it to be and how much sugar and stuff gets added into it.

>>11493547
Onions isn't a bad idea but not something you wanna mix with a sweet oatmeal. Instead, onions go with veggie and savoury oats.

savoury goes with both any kind of oatmeal which is nice and makes sweet oatmeal better for you.

Whenever I make oatmeal I generally make either a fruity or hearty oatmeal.

For hearty you roast some veggies and meat in a pan then add water. Once it starts boiling stir in the oats and once the oats start to thicken. Throw in some egg and cheese to make it creamy. Milk and butter if you want.

For fruity it honestly depends on what you have on hand and like. It less about the fruit and more about the spices. In general cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves, vanilla, brown sugar, maple syrup, and honey are all perfectly viable. If you wanna make it creamy throw in some egg and milk if you want. Sometimes people like to use nuts too but personally, I'm not a big fan of nuts. Iron cut oats already have enough crunch and nutty flavour to them for me. I did experiment with it though. I have yet to try nut shavings though and I know some people love adding nuts.

>>11493788
Try sweet and savoury so you end up cheating less. Whenever I make oats no matter what I always throw in eggs, butter, and milk. Mostly because I personally love creamy oats no matter what.

>>11493788
oh were you eating the instant oatmeal with sugar added? If so then what I said doesn't apply and yes, at least you can decide yourself this way.

I thought you were eating something like quaker quick 1 minute oats and were planning on switching to steel cut. Quick oats have a different flavor and taste a bit sweeter.

One thing I've learnt is not to focus on a single ingredient, but create recipes that fit your macros. E.g. I eat rice, and bread because it goes well in certain recipes even though there are higher protein grains.

You haven't LIVED until you've tried my world famous oats and beans

>>11493547
Peanutbutter, banana, and chia seeds.

>>11493780
>comparing refined sugar to a fucking banana

Ketards

I like to add salt, lettuce, tomatoes, cucumber, possibly greek yogurt, or just mix them with pan fried nuts.

>>11493780
It takes way less sugar to jazz up steel. There is some natural sweetness and actual flavor unlike rolled or instant which may as well be starch covered in pixy stix and freeze dried fruit.

They don't need to stand alone either.

>>11493547
Cinnamon, Chia, Flaxseed, Sesame, Almonds, Walnuts, etc.

>I thought you were eating something like quaker quick 1 minute oats and were planning on switching to steel cut. Quick oats have a different flavor and taste a bit sweeter.

Pretty much this. Growing up my mom always made me Quaker instant oatmeal and crushed bananas in it. It's good, and I love it, but I figured I'd try something different.

>>11494290
Eggs milk and butter can make anything taste good I guess, I may try that too since I have that stuff already!

>>11494351
I have peanut butter too, is chunky okay?

Cinnamon, brown sugar, maple syrup, honey, fruit, cocoa powder

add a small amount of blackstrap molasses

>>11493547
>lots of protein and almost no sugar, okay.jpeg

THE CARBS IS THE SUGAR, YOU FAT FUCK

stop adding garbage to everything and just eat healthy

Process into oat flour
Mix with low sodium canned tuna
Fry patties in olive oil

>>11493547
/fit/ recommended steelcut because it has a lower GI than instant (making you feel full for longer)

if you're going to add a ton of sugary shit to it why even bother?

>>11493547
>almost no sugar
Its a fuck ton of carbs steel cut oats are bulking food. That's the shit you feed your hog to win rate of gain at the county fair. I hope you aren't trying to cut on oats. I mean you can cut with anything but starting off your day with a load like that you'll have to skip lunch.

>>11495958
Why do ketards get so triggered over fruit?

I prefer instant oatmeal, and I don't like it too thick. It should be able to fall off of my spoon if I turn it over. I don't know why people eat concrete oats. All you need is a pinch of salt and a sweetener of some kind. Sugar, honey, artificial shit, maple. On a blue moon, I'll throw in some dried berries. No need to fuck around with spices and shit.

>>11495973
>canned peaches is good for you

16g of sugar is about half a coke bottle

oatmeal by itself already has all the sugars you'd ever need

Which oatmeal should I buy and from where?

>>11495989
and a small fraction of the sugars I still want to pour down my pipe

>>11495989
A whole fresh peach has about 15 grams of carbs. 15 grams isn't that much to make space for if you love peaches and they are healthier than say candy, sugar, or syrup and come with fiber and water and vitamins and minerals. I think the real problem is people think that kcal and carbs are nonexistent if its "good for you" because kcals and carbs are "bad for you" but that isn't true at all its just a simple addition and subtraction problem. A first grader with type 1 diabetes can be taught to manage this stuff, but nutritionists in America fucking suck at their jobs. Its disgusting how many are fat or just plain bad at their jobs. Only people who flunked out of pre nursing become nutritionists.

Banana, nuts, splash of whole milk. Sprinkle some salt.

>>11495973
Because fruit has sugar, and sugar is fucking poison. Kill yourself you fat piece of shit.

>>11493547
Blueberries and a spoon of peanut butter or almond butter are comfy in oatmeal

>>11493547
since ur fit: cinnamon, nuts, salt, cream

>>11494337
i always figure that beans and oats would be great.
since beans need some form of grain and oats are probably the best grain right? better then rice.
could try whole buckwheat though

>>11494337

YIKES

Steel cut by its nature will be more nutty than whole rolled. If you want a fruity oatmeal steel cut isn't the way to go.
When I was younger I used to to banana and honey all the time. Like every single breakfast.
Now if I make oatmeal it's usually just some cinnamon and a dollop of molasses.
