Oats so simple...

D&DD

I seem to have accumelated rather a few of these packets due to my mum going off them.Any ideas how I could use them up (in baking preferably) Wondered if they would work in flapjacks or something similar??

What's in them ? bet it's just oats, sugar and dried milk.

• Quaker Rolled Oats (76%)
• Sugar
• Dried Apple Pieces (0.5%)
• Dried Blueberries (0.5%)
• Natural Flavouring
• Salt
• Stabiliser: Lecithin (soya)
• Sunflower Oil

These are the ingredients for the apple and blueberry one I also have a stash of fruit muesli flavour :rotfl:

what about topping for a crumble? have just made one with weetabix!

Ok thanks, I'm sure you could just add that to any biscuit type recipe that calls for oats. I'd maybe use it to replace half the oats in a flapjack recipe, but not all because of the sugar. If you fiddle about with the sugar in flapjacks the texture changes.

Ohhh I could live on oats stir in hot milk after adding a few drops of vanilla extract. :drool::drool: A bit of wee sugar is nice too

I love oats but eat them raw with milk and a few strawberries on top for brekkie every morning.

If you like making bread dough (or have a BM) how about Streuselkuchen (fond memories of Germany).
Roll out the dough into a rectangle about 1/2 " thick. (If it's enriched with egg or sugar it's even nicer, but plain is fine). Cover with a good layer of fruit - apple or plums are traditional, but I'm sure drained tinned peaches would work!!! Sprinkle with sugar if the fruit is sour and then cover with a thin layer of crumble mixture - either standard - or your oats rubbed with a little bit of marg/ butter (there was already sugar in yours). Let it rise for 1/2 hr and then bake at 180C for about 30-40 mins till golden and the fruit is cooked.

I've been given two boxes of Oat so Simple golden syrup flavour - yeeuch! Can I use it for baking or some other form of cooking? I hate to throw anything away and not been able to pass it on to anyone else....

I always add oats to my crumble topping so maybe that would work. I bought some apple/cinnamon oats so simple recently which may go the same way!
