I bought pumpkin pie spice because I couldn’t find pumpkin spice. I made a pumpkin latte last night.

I made a simple recipe of oatmeal, pumpkin pie spice,milk and honey. It came out alright all the flavor was in certain chunks of the oatmeal. Need to brainstorm on how to distribute the flavor. Probably need to stir well

This is what the outcome of my first pumpkin pie spice cereal

      There’s a broader definition of “cereal” beyond Froot Loops and Corn Flakes.

      A cereal is a grass cultivated for its edible grain. Cereals are the world’s largest crops, and are therefore staple foods. They include rice, wheat, rye, oats, barley, millet, and maize.

  • I do the same with rice and beans and stuff. Just a little of this and a little of that and BOOM: decent meal or three!

    Also, a pro tip for plain rolled oats is coffee creamer and that strawberry syrup you use for ice cream or strawberry milk. Add some granola and raisens (stuff food pantries usually give out) and you have yourself a decent breakfast.

      Im on a process food diet, but I do have an idea of pouring in corn syrup to cut out food processing middle men.

          High-fructose is an inverted sugar. There is a much higher fructose to glucose ratio and that can put excess strain on your liver as it has to convert that fructose into other products, mainly glucose as fructose itself cannot be used by the body directly for energy.

            This is hilariously bad science. Whatever source you read on this was probably trying to sell you something.

            Sugar is about 50% each glucose and fructose. HFCS is about 55% fructose and 45% glucose. The HFCS is absorbed by your body very very slightly faster than sugar, but while it’s a measurable effect, it is basically meaningless. Numerous stufies have shown no connection to obesity, high blood pressure… any problem you can probably think of.

    Heat the milk up slightly separately and add the spice into that. You want the liquid flavored.

    You guys need to try savory oatmeal. Mix some crumbled bacon into a pot of oatmeal, some cheese, some frozen peas (do that one towards the end), or whatever sounds good to you. Sausage and/or mushroom also works great. Top with a hot sauce or crunchy chili oil or whatever, and top with a runny fried egg. Oh, and a sliced green onion if you’ve got one laying around. Honestly oatmeal is just a breakfast blank slate for toppings, like pizza or burgers or whatever. Get creative!

      I’ve never really thought of nonsavory oatmeal. I usually do cinnamon with backstrap. What’s the other option palatewise

        I mean, most people put fruit or sugar or something sweet in their oatmeal like pretty much every other post here

    Try mixing 1 tbsp cocoa powder, 1 tbsp brown sugar, and 1 tbsp of peanut butter into 1/2 cup oats + 1 cup milk. Tastes like an energy bar.

    Stir everything else and add the oatmeal last. Also grow berries/fruit in your garden and put them in
