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.

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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….
