Blended Dough

New oatmeal!!!

People have raved about Scottish Oatmeal to me for years. I’ve tried steel cut oats and don’t really care for them – they are too grainy and I prefer creamier rolled oats.

However, Bob’s Red Mill recently sent me a bag of Scottish oats to try out. I’m not sure why I decided to open them this morning, but I am so glad I did! They are the perfect hybrid of multi-grain cereals and rolled oats. They have the blendedness of cereals and the sweet, doughiness of rolled oats – the best of both worlds. SCORE!

I cooked 1/4 a cup on the stove with 2 parts water/1 part milk plus a whole banana and a pinch of salt. Ready in 5 minutes!

Mix-ins included a sprinkle of cinnamon and vanilla.

Toppings included a few tbsp of Crunchy Coconut Granola (also BRM!), sweetened coconut and a big glob of melty Barney Butter.

IMG_0255 (640x427)

Perfection!! Loved the sticky sweetness of the oats, the crunch of the granola and the savory love of the BB.

  • Sculpt
  • Quick shower
  • Lunch with an old friend
  • Prep dinner
  • Commute
  • 3 hour class
  • Commute + conf. call
  • Dinner

Hop to it!

    I love all BRM products! My local Job Lot carries their products for a reduced price! It’s so great! THey have a really nice line of gluten free mixes which I love because one of my best friends has celiac and I always bake one of BRM mixes when we have get togethers so she can eat, too!

    I agree that steel cut oats are just “okay.” Sometimes I enjoy their nuttiness, while other times I just want the creaminess of rolled oats.

    I’m a huge fan of Bob’s Red Mill…I use their cornmeal alll the time for my cornbread, and love it. 😀 I’ll have to give their scottish oats a try too!

    Sorry I am scottish and these comments are making me laugh!!! Porridge is such a traditional scottish dish and I love the idea that people haven’t heard of “Scottish Oats” – then again in scotland they are just bog standard Porridge oats.

    I remember leaving you a comment over a year ago that you should try traditional porridge oats – at long last! I said they were good!!! have you tried pinhead oats? They are good too – you probably have but they are just called something different in the US.

    I found your blog through a friend’s, and have really enjoyed reading it! I even got my own french press a few days ago, I liked your video so much! 🙂

    I know you adore oats, but no matter how hard I try to eat any kind of oatmeal for breakfast I just can’t seem to get into it. I have a very savory craving palate, and did not know if you could recommend any quick, healthy and savory breakfasts?

    Thanks a lot for your help!!

        Kat – do you know the traditional scottish way of eating porridge is just to have it with a pinch of salt? I.e savoury…. I would choose having it sweet but you might like it.

    That crunchy coconut granola looks like the PERFECT oatmeal topper. I already enjoy granola and coconut separately on my oats, so why not kill two birds with one stone? Thanks for the review of Bob’s oats, I feel the same way as you regarding Irish Oats, so those that you had this morning sound a bit more promising.

    Now if I could find a bulk store to buy them in I’d be set money wise!

    Scottish oats…mmmmm! yum! I really can’t go back to rolled oats(and honestly don’t like steel cut!)

    I felt the same way about steel cut oats at first, but they’ve kind of grown on me. But I do have to make more than the 1/4 cup they recommend in order to feel full, and I do miss the creaminess of rolled oats too… So those Scottish oats sound like a PERFECT mix! I have to ask — what’s the buzz about Barney Butter? I can’t find it in NY to try it!

    Hey Kath,
    Being Scottish I’m a bit biased, but there is nothing better breakfast-wise than a bowl of Scot’s porridge oats or oatmeal on a cold winter morning. My 99 year old Irish grandmother adds a teaspoon of honey to hers, she swears its helped her to live to be an almost-centenarian.
    Ive never tried oats with nut butter or coconut, must give it a whirl, thanks for the inspiration.

    Hi Kath, I have a question. I see a lot of protein-pushers out there. If I need to gain weight but not do any exercise (possibly for another 6 months or more) should I be more focused on protein at EVERY meal ? For example, at times I might have a bunch of beans with bread and avocado-salad for a main meal, with a walnut-chocolate-chip brownie on the side, and some other things that are essentially protein-vacant. Is this okay? Or should I have a lean protein source at EVERY meal? If not exercising?

    Reply
    • Kath says

      December 3, 2009 at 4:16 pm

      I really can’t tell you one way or another without being all professional RD and doing a diet analysis (which I am not yet qualified to do) but beans have protein! So does bread. A cup of avocado has 3 grams. So you are getting a good amount of protein at that meal. So as a non-protein pusher, I say it’s fine. But again, that’s just my opinion.
