So we finally perfected cooking our morning oats!
Since we have been sans kitchen we have tried many variations of oats.
- Overnight oats-not bad but yogurt is just okay in my book and it upsets Bill’s stomach
- Vegan overnight oats-does not warm me up enough for a winter breakfast
- Quick cooking oats-mushy
- Microwaved steel-cut oats-not quite right
- Old fashioned oats-will do but we so prefer some crunch
And yet they all had some problems until we found this gem at TJ’s:
Oh thank goodness Bill found this the other day. The convenience of a quick cooking oat but without the mush factor.
What we do is we warm up the water with this guy:
While that is heating up, I add the oats, cinnamon, pinch of sea salt, and raisins to the Tupperware (we looked long and hard for approximately the same size as Starbucks Perfect Oats container):
And then we add the water and enjoy with mixins. My favs lately are these babies:
Sometimes I do have to pop the whole mix in the microwave for about a minute and then it is perfection.
I wonder once the kitchen is done if I will remember how to really cook
