I bought pumpkin pie spice because I couldn't find pumpkin spice. I made a pumpkin latte last night.
I made a simple recipe of oatmeal, pumpkin pie spice,milk and honey. It came out alright all the flavor was in certain chunks of the oatmeal. Need to brainstorm on how to distribute the flavor. Probably need to stir well
This is what the outcome of my first pumpkin pie spice cereal
I recently learned you can make cold oatmeal overnight in the fridge. This is a game changer.
Overnight oats are fantastic for your body
How is it different from just boiling the oats in water?
(It's not. It's just a current food trend hype.)
Because I prefer it cold most of the time and I can preprepare it and get a consistent texture each time
YSK that you can make any food you want
How do I make captain crunch flavored cereal? How do I make cereal? Ideally I’d like to make captian crunch cereal, WITH CRUNCH BERRIES, but I don’t know how
also isn’t the a post about oatmeal not cereal?
Corn, shitloads of sugar, food coloring, and glass.
There's a broader definition of "cereal" beyond Froot Loops and Corn Flakes.
A cereal is a grass cultivated for its edible grain. Cereals are the world's largest crops, and are therefore staple foods. They include rice, wheat, rye, oats, barley, millet, and maize.
Oatmeal is considered a hot cereal.
Oh yeah? Well what about fully loaded baked potato flavored cereal
Maybe use one of those mini-whisks for coffee etc to mix up the liquid and powder before adding them to the oats.
Heat the milk up slightly separately and add the spice into that. You want the liquid flavored.
You guys need to try savory oatmeal. Mix some crumbled bacon into a pot of oatmeal, some cheese, some frozen peas (do that one towards the end), or whatever sounds good to you. Sausage and/or mushroom also works great. Top with a hot sauce or crunchy chili oil or whatever, and top with a runny fried egg. Oh, and a sliced green onion if you've got one laying around. Honestly oatmeal is just a breakfast blank slate for toppings, like pizza or burgers or whatever. Get creative!
I've never really thought of nonsavory oatmeal. I usually do cinnamon with backstrap. What's the other option palatewise
I mean, most people put fruit or sugar or something sweet in their oatmeal like pretty much every other post here
“So what flavor is your cereal?”
“THEM”
It's not as crunchy though, i want crunchy.
The little marshmallows require a little more work.
Try mixing 1 tbsp cocoa powder, 1 tbsp brown sugar, and 1 tbsp of peanut butter into 1/2 cup oats + 1 cup milk. Tastes like an energy bar.
Peanut butter, maple, cinnamon oatmeal reporting in here.
Stir everything else and add the oatmeal last. Also grow berries/fruit in your garden and put them in
OP discovers cooking
OP discoveres what to do with free will
I mean, there are other things you can do with free will, too. Like a whole raft of things. It seems odd to attach such a broad concept to adding a few ingredients to oats, but you're not wrong.
You can make any flavor of cereal you want... as long as it's oatmeal.
FYI Pumpkin spice is pumpkin pie spice.
Most "pumpkin spice" flavored things contain 0 pumpkin. And pumpkin doesn't exactly have a particularly strong flavor on its own. The flavor people tend to associate with pumpkin are the spices you typically add to pumpkin pie.
And it's basically just a blend of cinnamon, nutmeg, clove, ginger, and sometimes allspice.
Pumpkin has a strong and disgusting flavor which must be masked with spices to make it edible.
