Oatmeal most definitely needs toppings...or brown sugar, cinnamon, etc. By itself it has no flavor.

I have a recipe for slow cooker apple cinnamon oatmeal that I will try soon.

I recently bought some ground flax seeds that I've yet to open. I intend to add it to things like oatmeal and smoothies. I also have some vanilla flavored whey protein powder that I use in smoothies. Didn't like the flavor at first, but got used to quickly and intend to buy more soon.

My doctor wants me to eat 120 g of protein a day, and I'm nowhere near that. It is said that eggs are a good source of protein, but you get significantly more from chicken, beef and pork. And I prefer to eat food that has all the essential amino acids and not have to mess around with combining foods to get them (beans and rice are a classic example, but there are many others).

Any food you eat from animals have complete proteins, whether it's meat, eggs or dairy products. I understand soy and quinoa also have all the essential amino acids, but who the heck wants to eat tofu?

I eat a bowl of old-fashioned oats every morning with an entire apple cut up in it and a scoop of collagen powder mixed in. Very good! I was putting home grown blueberries in it but made too many into wine and ran out. My BB bushes are starting to bud so I’ll have some before long. I usually put about 20 gallon in the freezer.

Soy and flax seeds both contain phytoestrogens.
I don’t know if you’re male or female.

I use McCann’s Irish steel cut oats. They take like 30 minutes to make. I add walnuts and some craisins for flavor.
Another way, which has been described to me as disgusting, is I add scrambled eggs and Frank’s hot sauce.

If you want to know the secret to the BEST way to prepare and eat oats it is this.

SAVORY OATMEAL...

Only use good quality steel cut oats. Do not listen to the directive saying you must cook them for 40 minutes. No way! I cook them for 9 minutes.

Cook them in chicken broth. Stir while cooking almost like you’re making risotto. When they are done top with a couple of over easy eggs. Yum!

I usually cook about 2 cups oats to a quart of chicken broth and seal for the week. They can easily be heated up in the microwave and topped with eggs.

As other ideas, you can add anything. I have used caramelized onions. Add vegetables mainly fresh spinach. Swiss chard is delicious.

For one of the BEST comfort meals on a cold night cook the oats very creamy maybe a twee bit looser than normal. Add a big handful of fresh spinach near the end (of the 9 minutes) and toss in some roti chicken. This makes it very easy. Then pour that delicious creamy concoction into a shallow bowl and top with a poached egg or two, Eat with a big spoon and let that runny yoke meld into the oat chicken stew. I swear it tastes like you are eating chicken and noodles!

ONLY IT IS HEALTHY! Trust me on this and if you have any questions feel free to DM me or ask here.

Try my ‘health shake’: Oats, banana, peanut butter, milk, six ice cubes and a spoonful of French vanilla flavored powdered coffee. B;end on chush and drink slowly to enjoy. For those who prefer Almond milk, it make a great sub for cow’s milk. I use 2% real cow’s milk.

That recipe is excellent. I think I’ve made it with steel cut oats though. It’s been awhile. Thanks for reminding me. You can even do a version on the stove top with steel cut oats because it takes so long for the oats to cook, the apple cooks too. I use a little maple syrup on top.

Bob’s Red Mill steel cut oat are our favorite. I add freshly ground cloves, nutmeg, cardamom and allspice to mine with maple syrup.

I do not LIKE oatmeal.

Period.

My wife loves it and has it every day for breakfast. I tried to choke it down for a while and eventually gave up.

And that was with varying combinations of cinnamon, brown sugar, almonds, apple chips, raisins, cran-raisins, pecans, etc.

However, when it comes to gout sufferers

“Oatmeal is a high-fiber food that’s a good base for adding healthy options like fruits, nuts, and honey. However, when it comes to gout, it’s a breakfast food you should limit to a few days a week.”
