Porridge Oats

tiff

Never really done much with oats before but decided to bake more to reduce costs and bought Tesco value oats. Have made flapjacks and oaty biscuits. Any more ideas, apart from porridge?

Do you like porridge?

You can make porridge with hot milk, keep stirring until you get a lovely texture. Then I add in mixed seeds that I buy, (I get my Omega 6 fix) then I also add crushed almonds, topped with honey or maple syrup. It's really delicious.... I also chopp up a banana and add that to it and get part of my 5 a day in.

that's just one of my options that I create to have a great breakfast instead of just boring porridge. You can also add raisins etc.


Found these recipes below as I like yourself I only use oats for porridge, but know you can make flapjacks and biscuits..

• Cranachan with fresh Skye raspberries
• Fig crumble by Nick Nairn from Ready Steady Cook
• Kibbe by the Vegan Society
• Mincemeat cake by Sue Lawrence from Sue Lawrence's Book of Baking
• Spiced oat biscuits by Antony Worral Thompson from Saturday Kitchen
• Porridge with maple syrup by Nick Nairn from Ready Steady Cook
• Podgy porridge by Jo' Pratt from Nation's Favourite Food

I always add them to HM soups and casseroles to bulk them out.

use them in an apple crumble mix.

can also make face pack or a bath sock with them - I think it was on GMTV the other day - it may have been This Morning but it could be worth looking.

Twinks Hobnobs - that's all i ever use oats for as they are sooooooooo delicious you will never be able to look at oats without thinking of Twinks !

Search for Twinks hobnobs and you will find the recipe - sorry cannot find a link

I put oats into meatloaf instead of breadcrumbs. A couple of handfuls, along with a grated carrot, grated onion, a teaspoon of salt and and an egg to bind.

A friend makes a dessert, the name of which I have forgotten, where you toast some oats in a pan, whip up some cream, stir the oats in and serve with raspberries or stewed rhubarb.

Hope this helps

I add them to mince dishes to bulk them out and I make oat bread, hobnobs (Twink's of course) And I add them to crumble too
