Another Way To Eat Oats :
If you’re like me, you stomach oats better uncooked than cooked.
They’re a solid ingredient for raw egg shakes, and in homemade weight gainers.
But as far as porridge is concerned I’d instead have grits, while staying far away from cream of wheat.
I’ve seen online that I’m not the only one who doesn’t stomach oats particularly well when they’re cooked.
Many just put them as is into their shakes.
I’ll do this myself when I want to up the carb content of an egg shake.
I’ve come across some just pouring in a bit of water so as to be able to quickly power them down.
I’ve seen it suggested with warm water online, though in person I’ve seen my buddy do this with room temperature water many a time.
I eat oats in a different way.
I started doing this making quick dinners for myself after having lifted while in high school.
16 years old, it was an idea tried on a whim that I ended up liking.
At various points in my life fried eggs have been a dietary staple,
where a quarter if not half of my meals will end up having eggs in them.
Like after the high school weight room junior year.
Last night I cooked what I did back in high school.
I took six eggs, and stretched them.
Cracking them into the bowl, I grabbed the container of oats and a measuring cup.
½ cup oats : 6 eggs being the ratio I found best.
Having dumped the oats into the bowl with the eggs, I then dumped in spices, grabbed a spoon, and stirred it all around.
Oats are a grain. After frying this up it reminds me moreso of a bread made of egg and oats in taste than of fried eggs.
I’ve always liked the consistency.
Whatever odd meat is on hand will go into the pan with it.
It was two hotdogs this time, whereas in high school it was a can of tuna or sale price pepperoni.
Any meat will do.
As alluded to above I came up with this as a high schooler wondering how the consistency would turn out after having thought to do so as a way to add carbs to an otherwise protein and fat only meal.
When you’re not paying particular attention to macros this an enjoyable, clean, mixed macro meal.
•Eggs
•Oats
•Spices
With the options of meat, cheese, condiments, and whatever else you’d add to an egg dish.
