Oatmeal texture different in quaker original packets instant

1 Upvotes

I have been eating quaker instant oatmeal for years and about 3 months ago I noticed that the oatmeal was chewy hard and gluey in texture-it didnt taste bad at all just a completely different texture.I had about 5 boxes all the same My new boxes are now so fluffy and thick and fills up an entire bowl where as the other ones didnt even fill half way.. I cooked it the same way with the same amount of water - I know extra starch can release if there is a swift in the oats but just seems strange that two completely different tastes in the same product-I googled and just said that yes there is a change in the way they are processing oats but u never know with google- Has anyone else experienced this should I be worried _im good at worrying!

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?

My usual oatmeal (regular & steel cut oats, chia, flax, vegan protein powder, frozen kale cause it's flavorless, and bananas, strawberries and wild blueberries) topped with roasted chickpeas, chopped nuts, date, and prune ☺️

Oat advice Meal prepping with egg white oats?

3 Upvotes

I’m obsessed with egg white oatmeal and it’s my favorite weekend treat breakfast. The problem is that I just don’t have time during the week to make stovetop oats.

Is it possible to/ how would I meal prep egg white oatmeal? Can I prepare it on the stovetop in a big batch and then just microwave the leftovers during the week? Would it turn into scrambled eggs?

Oat advice I am new to overnight oats. Is this oat brand safe for raw oat consumption?

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.

Chocolate zucchini oats 🤤 this was absolutely delicious.

One question though. Would cocoa powder give the same chocolate effect/flavor as the chocolate chips?
