I really dont get the point of dumping a bunch of sugar on oatmeal. Isnt the point of oatmeal to eat something relatively healthy for breakfast? Might as well just buy some lucky charms

This is something I've only learned recently. Now I'm too used to the taste of sugared oatmeal. I want my food to taste delicious.

[Silkworm]

OP, listen. And listen good. After preparing the suggested serving size: add a dash of salt with 2 teaspoons of sugar. The salt is crucial. Do not forget the salt. Keep it simple. To me, this configuration tastes like rice pudding. Probably even more if I were to add vanilla extract.

I normally add the salt (a pinch for one serving which is 1/4 cup of oats) when the water comes to boiling and then the oats. Of course I'm referring to steel cut oats not instant. Anyway, I suppose you could always add more salt at the end.

I use Splenda brown sugar so that helps a little. Of course I also add honey, so how much using Splenda brown sugar helps is debatable :-p

No.

[Nemo]

Fuck that, us Pakis go the extra mile, we add beef to our oatmeal and some lentil beans too, and spicy that fucker up to extreme levels Haleem! Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner, Midnight Snack of Champions

Awwww damn Haleem!! Haven't had this in ages, it's amazing! need some in my life again

It's a grain product/has carbs so some people here will condemn it to hell and back.

Well, that is why I dont eat it anymore, but for the people who do, I cant imagine why anyone eats oatmeal if they dump a crap load of sugar on it. Might as well just buy a tastier cereal since that sugar pretty much ruined all the healthiness of that oatmeal

[Silkworm]

Oatmeal has fiber so that's healthy. Adding fruit and a maybe a little sugar isn't all that bad. Blueberries + oatmeal = yum! :-)

[Man]

Milk and White sugar.

[Kitsunebaby]

I make mine with almond milk. Put some peaches in it, or blueberries and cinnamon, or bananas and pecans. I sweeten it with stevia and it's awesome. Really filling, too.

If you don't care about fat try making it with coconut milk. It's awesome.

[Fatalah]

Oatmeal is pretty meh, even with flavor. I liked the spicy brown sugar oatmeal packets. But what you should really get is this: Add some butter, pour in some milk to texture, add sugar to taste. So good.

Cream of RICE, all my life. Delicious!

[Jason's Ultimatum]

You're doing it wrong.

Jason's Ultimatum's famous oatmeal:

-1 cup of oatmeal
-1/4 cup of chopped pecans
-1 scoop of vanilla protein powder
-1 slice of banana
-blueberries

Voila.

I tried oatmeal with just fruit and it's left me really unfulfilled like they don't even belong together. Lucky charms have much less fiber than oatmeal with tons of sugar in a serving too small and it wouldn't satiate a child.

[ThatCrazyGuy]

I eat oatmeal because it tastes good. Don't forget the pinch of salt. I put honey and sometimes dried fruit in it.

[tirminyl]

I love oatmeal. I've been eating it since I was a child. When I was younger I loved adding a little sugar, butter, pinch of salt and milk. Now every morning for breakfast I make a cup of oatmeal with sugar, cinnamon, and I add sliced almonds. If I have fruit such as a banana or apple, I add a few slices as well.

Also, it was a secret ingredient!

[Cynosure]

oatmeal cookies are the best of all cookies.

[Seanspeed]

You're doing it wrong. Jason's Ultimatum's famous oatmeal: -1 cup of oatmeal -1/4 cup of chopped pecans -1 scoop of vanilla protein powder -1 slice of banana -blueberries Voila.

I tried the protein powder-in-the-oatmeal thing and it was horrible. Absolutely horrible. Tried it with an unflavored powder and also a Vanilla flavor.

Cream of Wheat is the only solution to grits, not oatmeal!

Oatmeal is a meal that you have to add stuff to it to make it taste like something good. I add turbinado brown sugar and cinnamon to mine and mix it with almond milk. With the right consistency it's good and it sticks with you for the rest of the morning.

[KingOfReading]

Cinnamon in oatmeal is great

This man speaks the truth. Plus to cap it off, cinnamon is extrely good for you.

I agree with that oatmeal fills you up. Kind of like eggs, but without any added fat/cholesterol. Not that eggs are unhealthy per se but oatmeal is a nice alternative to mix things up :-)

How have I not heard of savory oatmeal!?!

I prefer savory over sweet for just about everything. My wife thinks I'm crazy for putting cracked black pepper on my cottage cheese, but adding fruit to it like some people do seems fucking disgusting. Sometimes I add hot sauce too.

Next week I'm going to totally freak her out with a fried egg and some peppers in a bowl of oatmeal.

[weekend_warrior]

Oatmeal? Are you a horse? I eat bacon like a normal person.

[bangladesh]

Oatmeal? Are you a horse? I eat bacon like a normal person.

Just bacon? Why not both? Throw in an egg or two.

[oatmeal]

I get compliments all the time :(

[Speevy]

Oatmeal? Are you a horse? I eat bacon like a normal person.

Both bacon and sausage hurt my stomach.

[Talon]

I was thinking the same.

Just fold half a banana into it.

What I tend to do is do a medium-sized pot of steelcut oats with a bit of vanilla, cinnamon and bourbon and half water/half milk. Let that get nice and cream, and I serve with banana slices and a small drop of honey.

[opticalmace]

raisins + a bit of brown sugar + a bit of cold skim milk poured over it

so, so good.

[LQX]

Really? People just add water to oatmeal without adding some sugar or condensed milk with a pinch of salt?

[HiResDes]

[CF_Fighter]

Grits

[Talon]

!

[ClassyPenguin]

Peanut butter + oatmeal is damn tasty,

Also, never have oatmeal by itself, add a banana or some fruit(strawberries, blueberries, raspberries etc.), sugar and cinnamon, at least.

Also, danm those no carbs extremists. No carb works if you are trying to lose weight or gain muscle but if you are comfortable, it' the best breakfast other than bacon and eggs.

[Megalodactyl]

To my savory oatmeal converts, you're welcome!

[Log4Girlz]

oatmeal cookies are the best of all cookies.

Yes, yes they are.

[adamsappel]

I made some savory oatmeal today with some ground beef, parmesan cheese and fried egg. It was delicious! A whole new world is opened to me.

[Easystride]

I just put frozen blueberries in before microwaving, nothing else. Delicious.

[jmdajr]

You're doing it wrong Savory Oatmeal

wow never tried that before. looks pretty good!

[Entropia]

On it's own, yeah it's kinda bad. When I used to eat it daily back in the day I threw in some cinnamon to add some taste.

[Log4Girlz]

Oatmeal is a flavor sponge. When you make it, you're supposed to add flavor.

[Az]

I add some honey to my oatmeal. love it.

[Big Baybee]

I love cinnamon, brown sugar, and raisins in my oatmeal. Good shit.

[blackwatchplad]

Used to mix a spoonful of maple syrup in the stuff.

Damn, I never realized how well oatmeal combos with everything so well.

[Lord Error]

You're doing it wrong Savory Oatmeal

HE's doing it wrong? I literally laughed at this, as it looks like someone puked and defecated over that egg.

[Schattenjäger]

Guys you are doing it wrong

Buy this oatmeal - delicious

[cyberheater]

I don't know what you guys are eating but there is only one true "porage".

I have it weekday morning. Made with milk but no sugar or other crap. It's the business.

[Duane Cunningham]

Wow, it never occurred to me to go any direction other than sweet with oatmeal. I'm going to be trying the salt/pepper/cheese/egg route tomorrow. Maybe even later today.

[codhand]

HE's doing it wrong? I literally laughed at this, as it looks like someone puked and defecated over that egg.

I not gonna go that far, but yeah, not appetizing, looks like Sofrito and over easy on oats, might taste fantastic, but raisins and brown sugar always did me just fine.

[Enco]

You're doing it wrong Savory Oatmeal

That looks horrendous.

[MadSkillzBahamut]

Is a steak supposed to taste like nothing? I've heard some people season it with salt but I'm not so sure, isn't salt bad for you?

Wow. Well, too much salt is bad for you, but too much of anything is bad for you so nyeh.

With steak, the best thing to do is season it with salt and tons of pepper - like a ridiculous amount of black pepper. Pat in the seasoning and then with a very hot pan with a little olive oil, sear the steaks on a medium heat, only flipping once, 4-7 minutes on each side depending on the cut and thickness.

This should give you a nice medium rare which is the best way to eat steak, don't be scared of the pinkness of the meat.

Make this man a member.

Exactly how to make steak, don't overthink, same thing with oatmeal and most cuisine in general. It's the reason I hate Chopped, no one will ever ask you to combine over easy eggs, sofrito, and oats, but I guess now if they do, you have a recipe on hand.
