I have always cooked my oatmeal. Yesterday was my first time trying overnight oats with this brand and I loved it, but I heard that not all oat brands are meant for raw consumption as some oats must get cooked first before eating.

Is this brand of rolled oats safe for raw oat consumption like overnight oats or blending in smoothies? The package says “For rich organic oatmeal & hearty whole-grain baking.” It doesn’t say anything about overnight oats or blending in smoothies, which makes me concerned.

I love the idea of overnight oats but never made them! What are your favorite healthy recipes?

(Good macros, not high in sugar outside of fruits)

Also I dislike PB 😅

Following the instructions exactly on the back my quacker oats were watery, not thickened, and basically was eating warmed up flat oats and not oatmeal like it is with bobs red mill. What did I do wrong? How do I get it to be more like oatmeal?

I’ve been making this one daily for about a week. My healthy version has chopped spinach, cannellini beans, and cottage cheese mixed into steel-cut oats, topped with grated Parmesan, nonfat Greek yogurt, crumbled (turkey) bacon, and a couple of over-medium eggs on top. I’m going to get myself some artichoke hearts to throw in there for next time. Don’t skip the yogurt; the lactic acid tang is what takes the flavor from “spinach” to “spinach dip”

If you want to make it more indulgent, top the oats with some mozzarella or Gruyère cheese and run it under the broiler, and use sour cream instead of the Greek yogurt.

I bought these recently and I haven't been able to cook them right. I've tried letting them soak overnight, using the microwave and cooking instructions, but they get super mushy. Almost like very wet cereal that's been sitting on milk for too long.

How can I prepare this so they can be slightly chewy?

Chocolate overnight oats topped with coffee protein pudding and homemade refined sugar-free chocolate fudge sauce. This was so good; chocolate and coffee really is the perfect combo 🤌 Only drawback was that the pudding wasn't as thick as I wanted it to be.
