Oats so simple...

phizzimum

isn't oats so simple just oats, sugar and a couple of chemicals? I'm sure you could use them for anything you would use oats with - crumble, biscuits etc - just reduce the sugar

Loads of fab ideas. I especially like the pancake idea, as these are real treats for my kids. I got some cooking apples today to do the crumble ideaa and will do the others in feb 1/2 term whilst off with the kids.

The ingrediants for someone who was asking are 76% rolled oats, sugar, natural flavouring, salt, stabiliser, soya lecithin which it says is to minimise boiling over in microwave.

Apart from the other suggestions,would you consider having them for brekkie yourself?

That a lot of sugar thenm as all the other ingredients will be in very small amounts.

It might be a better idea to ask your kids after 2/3 weeks whether they would like Oatso Simple for breakfast. They might say yes :-)
I guess the packets have BBE date of a few more months at least.

I was going to say that, you beat me to it. Just eat them yourself, you should never throw food away.

The BB date is Oct 11. I looked earlier when someone suggested freecycle. The kids have been 'off them' for quite a long time, well before christmas. I've been waiting for them to like them again, but am fed up with the clutter of them, as I have a very small kitchen. Am not too concerned about how much sugar in them, as they are just to use up and as already advised I will just adjust other ingrediants.:)

BTW- I'm not keen on them. (LOL)

I'm sure you could incorporate them into biscuits [I use oats in my digestive biscuits] or could you melt some butter add cocoa and possibly a bit more syrup and stir lots in to make like crackle cakes for lunches.
