Oatmeal – 50 Ways to Eat It

It should come as no surprise that I love oats. Hardly a day passes where I don’t have it in some shape or fashion, be it in traditional oatmeal, smoothies, or granola. Speaking of “passes,” ahem – you should be eating it more often if you’re having problems with “passes.” Hahahahahaha! Oatmeal recipes are everywhere, but not all of them are good…let’s just be honest.

Is there such a thing as too many oatmeal recipes? NO! I even have oatmeal as its own Pinterest board.

But while some don’t make a big deal of it, I always go organic for oats, because the price difference isn’t that huge. It isn’t the end of the world to have organic, but I that’s my preference whenever I can find them.

50 Healthy Ways to eat Oatmeal
Picture from More Than Alive

I do use rolled oats exclusively (also called Old Fashioned Oats). I don’t buy quick oats – they go through a bit more processing that really isn’t needed. Sometimes I buy steel cut oats, but I mostly use rolled oats. In all recipes that call for quick oats, I have used rolled oats without any problems. I also use the rolled oats to make my oat flour.  However, you can actually buy oat flour, but making it in your blender is so easy, why bother? Just process those puppies until it looks like flour. If I can do it without making a mess with minimal mess, so can you! How many times can you say oats in a paragraph? I think I beat the record. Oats.

Also note – sniff your oats. They do go bad. Fresh oats should have a nice, sweet smell. If you take a big whiff and it sets your nose hairs on fire, then you probably need new oats. Store them in the fridge or a cool place for the longest shelf life. I like to buy mine in large quantities: 10-50 pounds.

50 Healthy Ways to eat Oatmeal

So, what do I do with all these oats? Well, I eat them. Below I’ll give you 50 ways – some of them are mine and some are from other blogging friends.

NOTE: if you are gluten-free, you can buy gluten-free oats. I thought I would throw that out there…if you’re gluten-free, you probably already know that. So, just pat my hand and say “thanks.”

    Hi Stacy! I’m stopping in from Let’s Get Real today. It is so nice to find someone as crazy about oats as I am. This is rather a new thing for me, but I really just can’t get enough. So much nutrition and flavor! I love that I can eat oats all day….even in steak as you have shown here.

    Do you have a recipe for making bread with leftover oatmeal. I used to live in Kenya and would make bread with leftover oatmeal. The recipe came from a cookbook from the 1940’s. The cookbook got left behind and I’ve been trying to find a recipe like the one I had. Used to cook the bread in old “Blue Band” cans. Closest thing we had to English Muffins. Made GREAT toast!

    Oats are one of my favourite things to cook with, especially in winter.

    Not sure if this would work with what you have in mind for your cookbook, but oatmeal makes an excellent “extender” for ground meat. Kind of a sneaky chef thing. Just add oatmeal in with your RAW meat and cook together. If you add it when you first put the meat in the pan, you usually can’t even see it. I use it with tacos, BBQ sandwiches and such. It is a healthy way to stretch the meat. 🙂

    Did I miss the smoothie recipe? I was really looking forward to trying that one!!

    Great blog! One of my daily reads!!
