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
Heat the milk up slightly separately and add the spice into that. You want the liquid flavored.
Peanut butter, maple, cinnamon oatmeal reporting in here.
YSK that you can make any food you want
Stir everything else and add the oatmeal last. Also grow berries/fruit in your garden and put them in
The little marshmallows require a little more work.
How do I make captain crunch flavored cereal? How do I make cereal? Ideally I’d like to make captian crunch cereal, WITH CRUNCH BERRIES, but I don’t know how
also isn’t the a post about oatmeal not 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.
Oatmeal is considered a hot cereal.
Maybe use one of those mini-whisks for coffee etc to mix up the liquid and powder before adding them to the oats.
I recently learned you can make cold oatmeal overnight in the fridge. This is a game changer.
Overnight oats are fantastic for your body
How is it different from just boiling the oats in water?
(It's not. It's just a current food trend hype.)
OP discovers cooking
OP discoveres what to do with free will
I mean, there are other things you can do with free will, too. Like a whole raft of things. It seems odd to attach such a broad concept to adding a few ingredients to oats, but you're not wrong.
Oh yeah? Well what about fully loaded baked potato flavored cereal
FYI Pumpkin spice is pumpkin pie spice.
Most "pumpkin spice" flavored things contain 0 pumpkin. And pumpkin doesn't exactly have a particularly strong flavor on its own. The flavor people tend to associate with pumpkin are the spices you typically add to pumpkin pie.
And it's basically just a blend of cinnamon, nutmeg, clove, ginger, and sometimes allspice.
I through pumpkins had an intrinsic taste people like.
I don't mind the pumpkin pie spice blend. I meantion lattes, but I'll add it to chocolate milk, cornbread, and teas. I only use honey or maple syrup as sweetener so it tastes like I'm eating a delicious tree
Pumpkin does very much have it's own flavor but they don't tend to add it to pumpkin spice products.
It is amazing in oats though, if you're cooking on the stove, put the dry oats and about 2tbsp of pumkin puree from a can into the pot. Mix it up and toast it a little before adding your spices, then when it's fragrant, add the liquids and boil. It's a little more work but it's game changing for rustic breakfast meals.
Pumpkin does have some flavor, and it's a pretty nice one IMO, sort of sweet and earthy
But it's pretty mild, it doesn't bring a whole lot to the party compared to a lot of things you might add it to like coffee. It would probably come through a little more in something more mild like oatmeal.
In most grocery stores (at least in the US) carry cans of pumpkin puree (not to be confused with pumpkin pie filling which is usually right next to it on the shelf which has added sugar and spices) if you want to get a sense of what just straight pumpkin tastes like, or mix it into something else (it's an ok source of fiber and some vitamins, and like I said, it's tasty, just kind of mild)
You can make any flavor of cereal you want... as long as it's oatmeal.
Can you not find corn flakes and others in your neighborhood? (Not sarcastic)
do you not have Kellogg's breakfast masturbatory aid (very sarcastic)
You mean a yogurt enema?
I think they mean that adding flavouring to non-oatmeal is less successful.
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!
“So what flavor is your cereal?”
“THEM”
How do I make fruit loops?
Not fruit loops, but crunchy cereal:
*froot loops
I only have experience making cinnamon toast crunch (rice flour based) and corn flakes (you'll never guess what kind of flour this uses), but I'd imagine you can make fruit loops at home as well.
EDIT: Interesting idea, puffed rice is basically how what rice krispies are, and a lot of cereals have a similar texture. Maybe it's possible to essentially make a kind of rice paste by overcooking rice and using way too much water while cooking it, flavor it however you like, shape it however you like, dry it out thoroughly, and then deep fry it to puff it. I haven't tried it, so no idea how well it will work.
It's potato flour, isn't it
Correct.
Bergamot oil
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.
Potato
It's not as crunchy though, i want crunchy.
One of my favorites: oatmeal with some cinnamon, nutmeg, raisins, finely-chopped walnuts, honey, and a tablespoon of chia seeds. Tastes good and it's pretty good nutritionally.
