That sounds disgusting. Are you the same poster who freezes half a raw egg to use on a rainy day?

I’ll never understand DCUM’s oatmeal fascination

This made me laugh….

Why would anyone put in extra work the day before for their breakfast?

Personally I skip breakfast every day, but even if I didn't, I'd just do something with minimal effort like yoghurt and granola or some microwave sausages.

Never heard any advertised like that.

However you don't have to cook oatmeal to eat it, if you are eating steel cut "rolled" version of oatmeal, the flake kind. It's the best for your health overall, same as regular porridge steel cut but smooshed out so they are more easily digestible.

Who is chowing down on raw oats in the morning? This is bizarre.

I love steel cut oatmeal but I find that the "quick cooking 7 minute" steel cut oatmeal is a bald faced lie! It takes way more time and water than the package suggests. I make a batch in my rice cooker every three days or so. As soon as I wake up I pop down to the kitchen and throw everything in and set it for 30 minutes, then by the time I hop in the shower, get dressed, make kid breakfast, it's ready. Then the next two days I pull it out of the fridge and microwave.

Eating breakfast is a pretty normal thing. The big bag of steel cut oats at costco is cheaper than most other oats sooo

McCann’s quick cooking steel cut oats are ready in 5 min or less. When I used to eat breakfast at my desk, I would put peanut butter, raisins, cinnamon, whatever, in a thermos, add a couple of tablespoon of oatmeal, pour in boiling water, and seal the top tightly. By the time I was ready for breakfast, it was cooked.

Use a programmable rice cooker and set it to be done when you want to eat.

Raw oats are for cold cereals with milk. Or made into granola bars and mix. You must have lived a sheltered life.

Coach''s Oats.

The grains are cut even smaller so it takes less time to cook (not technically quick cook). I microwave it for 1 minutes and it's done.

Just buzz the steel cut oats in a blender - then you can just add hot water to them like the packaged instant ones. I portion it out in small jars.

They are fine. More easily digested than steel cut, but slightly higher rating on the glycemic index. If diabetic, steel cut are less harmful. If not diabetic, then doesn't really matter which you prefer.

I was diabetic, but now prediabetic (with meds). I’ll buy steel cut next time.

I am pretty sure no one is starting their day by pouring milk over a bowl of uncooked steel cut oats, or putting steel cut oats in a granola bar.

I am pretty sure you have very little culinary experience, as you don't even know what to do with the oats. "A bowl of raw oats". LMAO!

Fairly low sugar and seems clean ingredient wise. Just make sure you do not get their 100 cal version -- so disgusting! -- as the box looks almost exactly the same as the regular version. Easy mistake to make, especially if you get groceries delivered.

I also use this brand and get the Steal Cut Maple Brown Sugar with Protein box. 10g of protein per pack. 170 calories

I'll have to try that. I wish they made a protein version of the Apples and Cinnamon but their website doesn't show one.
