I printed out this recipe way back when you posted it and FINALLY gave it a try this morning. I really like the consistency of it, and it’s pretty filling! Two thumbs up! (I might add some frozen blueberries to it next time.)

@PastaQueen and Ashley -

I’ve been back-reading entries and have been admiring your plates and bowls, too! Pretty! And we all know that food tastes better when it looks good. :)

I am diabetic and my usual breakfast is a package of high fiber Quaker oatmeal with a protein such as an egg. The protien combined with the carbs in the oatmeal keeps my blood glucose levels from spiking. This recipe sounds great. I can even substitute the egg for 2 egg whites and probably still get my protein without the cholesterol. Thanks.

I ate this for breakfast (with many modifications)!

Firstly, I microwaved an egg, 30 grams of cup quick oats and a 1/2 cup of milk for two minutes.

Then I mixed it around a bit and microwaved it again for a minute.

During this time, I sliced up a banana. Then I microwaved everything together for another minute.

I should’ve really done it your way. :| But mine tasted alright (adding an egg to oatmeal makes porridge so fulfilling!).

We found pancake batter in a can at Costco! 3-pack for about $11 in the refrigerated section. It’s all organic ingredients, nothing weird. You just squirt it out into the skillet like it was a can of Redi-Whip, but it’s pancakes! Easy to cap it off and stick it back in the fridge.

O.M.G.

First off, I just want to say that I am NOT a fan of oatmeal. It’s okay, but I find it to be rather bland no matter what’s in it, and a serving doesn’t really satisfy me. This recipe however intrigued me (I can eat oatmeal, with my hands?!? how??)

I went to the store and got some instant oatmeal packs. I LOVED IT. I loved it so much I made it twice yesterday while waiting for turkey, and again for breakfast this morning. Thanks for sharing!

Oatmeal has been a good addition to my own weight managing diet. Although I don’t live alone, we are on weird schedules that leave us all cooking for ourselves, at least for breakfast. So the single portion thing has been key for me, too. I think a lot of people really can use it!

Here’s my oatmeal recipe, modified from a friend’s more elaborate invention to fit Weight Watcher’s Core. It’s made from organic steel cut oats (I get a box for less than $3 at my Trader Joes) – they take awhile to cook, kind of like brown rice . . . but I cook up a big batch, and then just microwave it in portions. Cold oatmeal in the fridge is not something I am likely to binge upon LOL!

Oatmeal Custard

2 cups steel cut oats

8 cups water

sprinkle of salt

tiny handful of raisins, if you like them. (I can’t use artificial sweetners, so this sweetens it adequately for me.)

Toss in large pot, simmer on low. Ignore until cooked. Store in fridge. (Like those complex directions? LOL!)

To make up the individual custard servings, I put about 1/4 cup cooked oats in a small microwave safe bowl, break an egg into the bowl, and whisk in about 1-2 tablespoons water. (You can use milk if you want something more custardy, but it counts for WW points.) When the whole thing is whisked smooth, cook in microwave on 50% power for 3 minutes. Stir around 2 minute mark if feeling ambitious.

I am so tired of eating borring old oats in the traditional way each morning, I think I should try this recipe.

I had to laugh reading this post. This is how I eat my oatmeal. I don’t like it all runny and soft or mushy so I always use less water/milk and it comes out like a mini muffin. I guess I’ve been doing the pancake thing all along – who knew. Hope you are feeling better. You are an inspiration and fun to read!

You know, that looks delicious. Waking up (super) early in the morning for personal training sessions I need quick and easy breakfast ideas. Gonna have to give this one a try.
