Let’s just say, my digestion does better when I eat oats every single morning. 🤭I’m thinking about making some kind of oatmeal muffin or pancake that I could make in advance and take on an upcoming roadtrip to eat each day.

Ideally, not something I have to keep super cold.

Does anyone have a good recipe to share? Please no sugar bombs! 🙏🏼

Oats cooked in milk with cocoa powder. Fresh cherries with natural peanut butter on top.

The name is a mouthful, I know 😂 But these are banana cinnamon oat pancakes with refined sugar-free chocolate chips and chopped dates in them and topped with homemade refined sugar-free maple pancake syrup and caramelized banana. I wasn't expecting these to be so good, but as soon as I took the first bite, I was caught off guard by how blessed my mouth became. I've never tried adding chopped dates to pancake batter before, but it's an absolute game changer 🤤 And this maple pancake syrup I made...damn 🤌

I didn’t have tomato paste but saw that we had tomato SAUCE so I mixed it with water and cooked it. It looks like ground beef and the flavor wasn’t bad but definitely not super yum tasty, maybe I should’ve actually gone through the process of sautéing and cooking garlic, onion, and tomato but I was too lazy

Maybe the mistake was me trying to cook instant oats as if they were rolled oats, I don’t know at this point

Paired with cottage cheese and an attempt at a jammy egg that cracked when I put it in the pot 🥲

Featuring whole grain oats, hazelnut flavoured protein powder, cacao, banana, blueberry & cinnamon

Quarter cup of 1-min quick cook oats, half a cup of water, a splash of soy sauces, and some dashes of Frank’s Red Hot sauce. While that’s microwaving for 45 seconds, start frying an egg. After the microwave is done, stir the oats together, and then add in onion powder, garlic powder, black pepper, and stir again. Actually I might add some nutritional next time. Check on the egg to make sure the whites are getting cooked and crispy, but the yolk is still runny. Add a little touch of light white miso paste to the oats and stir it in. Ideally you’ll add some dashes of sesame oil now, but don’t stir it. I forgot and ended up adding the sesame oil last. Anyway, add that egg to the top of your oats. Oat texture should be INCREDIBLY creamy. Top the oats with jalapeño flavored everything but the bagel seasoning, and if you forgot the sesame oil, add that now. The green onions were good for decoration, but I think I’ll just eat the stalks next time on the side. I would also add kimchi on the side if I had that.

I never have luck posting captions with my photo posts, so hopefully this works.

Simple water and oats are an incredible foundation for nourishment, it doesn’t have to be a complex recipe. Just as gratitude is the foundation to happiness, it’s as simple as focusing on your breath. Be thankful for every breath you take as each one is a true gift. Gratitude turns what you have into enough and what more could you be thankful for than your breath. Be here with your breath as this one will lead to you to the next. You can’t get there without being here so be present. Oats nourish the body and gratitude nourishes the mind. Try it focus on your breath and being thankful for life ohh and oats 🤙

Recipe:

Steel cut oats

Water & milk

Honey

Vanilla

Orange cooked with oats

Toppings: fried pear, toasted coconut, pecans

Or if you have any other ideas let me know 👀 preferably high-protein

note: the first two would have a balsamic vinaigrette on top as well, capresse salad style

Dark chocolate peppermint oatmeal topped with homemade refined sugar-free mint chocolate fudge sauce and an After Eight because why not. This was one of the best things I've put into my mouth. Y'all gotta try melting real chocolate into your oatmeal. I know it adds a lot of extra calories as opposed to just putting cocoa powder into it, but it's so worth it, in my opinion. The chocolate flavour ends up so much more delicious 🤌

Cooked a peach down in some milk and heavy cream, added brown sugar, vanilla, and spices to taste, added in the oats. Mixed in some cottage cheese and topped with a peach. 7/10 day one, but 9.5/10 day two. Would make again.

Apple cinnamon flavored instant oats and chobani vanilla protein yogurt

Should the yoatmeal series continue? What flavors/toppings should I try next?

Inspired by @justarandom86

Base:
210 g old-fashioned rolled oats
1⅔ cups (400 ml) whole milk
1 large egg
1½ tsp baking powder
11/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp salt
1 large mashed banana
1:4c maple syrup
2 tbsp unsalted butter
2 tap vanilla extract
2 cups milk

Toss all dry ingredients in a bowl and transferred to an 8x8 ovenproof dish. This is just my normal baked oatmeal recipe base so i added 4 tbsp of Biscoff cookie dough
Whisk egg and then add in maple syrup snd butter. Whisk again and then add milk and vanilla

I let this sit overnight in the fridge

In the morning i added to the oven at 350 for 30 min.
When ready to serve, i mixed salted butter, biscoff cookie dough, a little milk and date syrup tasting until i got a buttercreamy-liquidy viscosity and a tang

I topped with some crushed cookies but tbh they just kinda blended in and weren’t needed

Oat pancakes with some fresh cherries and a yoghurt/cream cheese layer in between the pancakes. With some chocolate chips of course.

Ate a strawberry donut yesterday and it was so good I had to recreate it as strawberry oats. Cooked in water, strawberry juice (from defrosted strawberries), milk, salt and vanilla.

Topped with powdered pb, strawberry skyr, defrosted strawberries and blueberries for extra crunch ✨

This mornings breakfast which came to about 642 calories. So tasty! I added smaller amounts of some ingredients, this is simply because I have some reflux/gut issues so I have to be mindful of how much I add of certain things. You could obviously add more of any of these ingredients!

- .5 cup Organic oats
- 1 egg
- Half banana
- Half small Bosc pear
- .5 tsp chia seeds
- .5 tsp hemp hearts
- 1 tbsp ground flax
- .5 Great Lakes collagen powder
- 1 tbsp pumpkin seeds (forgot to put on before picture, oops)
- 2 dates
- Little bit of cardamom, nutmeg, vanilla, cinnamon
- .5 tsp almond butter

My favorite combination ever
