how to make oats taste good without sugar?

[Anonymous No.16470382]

Is there a hidden way? Im basically poor af right now and need to live on oats rice & pasta, what are some good cheap sauces or spices that would make it taste better for cheap?

Atm im just boiling the oats in water and adding a banana, taste pretty meh but it's better than starving i guess..should i use milk instead of water?

yes use milk, also peanut butter if u can afford
Here's my step by step breakfast, the measurements are all exact because i knew i'd be eating it for a while and I perfected it

>into bowl goes 159g milk, 23g peanut butter (skippy extra crunchy in my case, doesnt matter really)
>two big pinches of salt
>microwave for anywhere from 1 minute to 80 seconds
>remove, stir to dissolve(more accurately, break up) peanut butter
>add 60g oats
>microwave again 1 minute to 80 seconds, this 20 seconds greatly changes how thick\thin it is
>remove, stir to incorporate PB into oatmeal
>add 100-120g banana. This is usually half of a big banana or like 75% of a small one and i just eat the rest
>sprinkle generous amount of cinnamon
>stir again and holy shit its a great breakfast

Cook oats in milk. Process the cooked oats and a banana into a slurry/paste. It's not delicious, but it is a lot more tolerable. Also soak the oats overnight I guess.

Soak your oats, add a pinch of salt, cook until creamy. Be sure to add the appropriate amount of water. If you're concerned about taste, be sure to caramelize your banana before adding it and harden up cunt.

Very legit recipe in pic related

I don't add much fruit. But I do throw in some cardamom seeds crushed while the milk boils.

Anything goes with oatmeal. You can make it savory, sweet, salty, or a mix of these things. It comes out fine each time. Personally, I like to mix it with protein powders, dairy products of all kinds (especially yoghurts and butter), and berries. If you want it sweet but don't want instant diabetes from downing loads of sugar regularly, stevia is an option. I use plentiful salt and stevia in mine, but I also mix other things in for variety of flavor.

Not that I would recommend sugar, but it's way cheaper than bananas?
Anyway, pick some berries, if your time isn't valuable? Where do you live?

oats: cinnamon, vanilla, salt; optional: milk, honey, berries, maple syrup, bananas;
dice bananas and fry in sugar and oil/butter if you want it extra sweet

Yeah it's better with milk. I also prefer instant oats over quick oats or steel cut. You can make instant oats thicker which is more satisfying to me. Oatmeal that isn't thick enough just seems unpleasant to eat. Or do what >>16470478 said and process it into a thick paste somehow.

If you have a coffee grinder you can grind the oats and turn it into pancakes instead which is also good. It's usually 1.5 cups of oats before grinding to substitute for 1 cup of flour.

Eggs are really cheap if you can afford to buy them at some point. Even just one boiled egg with the oatmeal would make it a lot more tolerable.

I just use a bag of frozen blueberries because they last for like a year and a half. It's tough though because of the dethawing. I just put a pile of them in my bowl like an hour before I'm going to make the oatmeal.

Also, I only fell for buying steel cut oats once. They taste the same, have the same nutritional value, and take 500 times as long to prepare.

Make savoury porridge. Cook it like congee or risotto. Throw in some beans and mexican spices and it's pretty good protein packed meal.

Make savory oats.
I usually cook a diced up sausage in the pot before hand, set the sausage aside the cook the oats in chicken broth and add w.e. spices I feel like. Then put the sausage back in.
But I never tried it with rolled oats, only with steelcut.

dang that's almost what I do

here's what I've eaten for lunch every day for like a year, managed to almost cut out all the sugar entirely

overnight oats with milk, chopped banana, and a cup of homemade yogurt, add some cinnamon and salt. if ABSOLUTELY needed, you can add raisins, but I cut out the raisins because it felt more like I was eating a dessert than a meal at that point
