How do you like your Oatmeal?

[Tarkus406]

How do you like oatmeal? I like it just barely cooked or half cooked, and thick and chewy! Can't stand runny oatmeal. Feel free to post toppings of your choice!

[Invisible To Telescopic Eye]

I buy the Quaker Instant Fruit and Cream flavors and follow the directions...But then I add a handful of dried fruits like, cranberries, or blue berries etc...really kicks it up a notch.

 

After I add water it's kinda runny, but I let it sit 'til it gets thicker although not pasty and then it's gone in seconds.

Rather chew on a barn door

[Sir Lerxst]

I don't.

Wow, people actually don't like oatmeal?

[Queen of Megadon]

I like oatmeal! I have 3 boxes of instant original flavor in my cupboard. It's quick, it's filling, I like mine fully cooked mushy and pasty with dried cranberries, made with water not milk.

 

yum!

[ColdFireYYZ]

 

I prefer grits.

[GeddysMullet]

I love oatmeal! Especially steel-cut, slow-cooked thick and chewy, with fruit, nuts and cinnamon, topped with a little cream

 

I think I'll make some for breakfast tomorrow!

Ouch! My taste buds! Over-salivation!

I like it in the box, on the store shelf.

I hate oatmeal.

Yuck.

[circumstantial tree]

I also prefer grits - with butter and bacon.

With maple syrup and brown sugar

Used to like it thick and pasty, but now I like it runnier. Do NOT like it cooked in the microwave. I'm also a fan of syrup or brown sugar (if not already flavored). I like grits, Cream of Wheat or Rice, etc. too.

[HowItIs]

I love oatmeal! I like it somewhere in between the first 2 options. But, boy, am I picky about the balance of butter to sugar! It has to be just right - I've been known to spend 5 minutes adjusting it

 

I like to have raisins in it, too.

[Lost In Xanadu]

I like it half to fully cooked, fairly thick.

 

 

Favorites in there:

Brown Sugar, cinnamon, banana or apple

I love oatmeal. Oh god I seriously love it. Ever since I was in my first apartment, I have always had oatmeal in the pantry. I've never had luck making it with boxed oats. I've always relied on the Quaker stuff. I don't make it with water. I warm up half-and-half instead. I like it on the thicker side.

 

The best oatmeal I ever had was when I worked at this cafe. It had a separate kitchen part and the chef was the meanest, most unapproachable person I have ever met but he made the best oatmeal. He would make huge massive vats of oatmeal and it would be gone in a matter of minutes. I never gathered the courage to ask him how he did it and to this day I continue to figure out how he created his gooey oat goodness.

Half cooked, chewy and lumpy!!!!!

Maybe it's better if you don't know...

Do you, like, heat it up?

[In A Tidewater Surge]

No

[1-0-0-1-0-0-1]

Heat up a bowl of milk and pour raw oats in!

 

More specifically, pour raw oats and rice milk into a saucepan, bring to boil, lower heat and simmer until cooked...creamy, not too thick and lumpy. Add maple syrup and cinnamon. Awesome.
