Now we know!:) 😁 

I like adding them to original oats. I add 1/4 and 1/4, about 1/2 cup almond milk, a teaspoon of almond butter, a scoop of chia seeds, 1/4 cup of plain Greek yogurt, a dash of honey, a sprinkle of cinnamon, and any fruit you like! It’s seemed to work. I tried steel oats once by themselves and it definitely wasn’t soft lol 

No problem. I hate oats. LOL.  

Oats are definitely not everyone's thing. I enjoy steel cut oats on their own...when they're cooked. 😉 They're just kind of a hassle to cook, so I don't do it often. I'll keep looking for an easier way! 

I can't even remember the last time I had oats. Years. It just never occurs to me when I'm at the market. I associate them with a hot breakfast food or oatmeal raisin cookies, and since I only eat fresh fruit for breakfast and don't eat sweets now🤷🏻‍♀️. They are high in fiber and protein, though. Maybe this autumn...  

JustBananas -- I learned to eat oats plain, not a thing on them, years ago. VERY rarely, I'll put a teaspoon of sugar on them if I'm in the mood for a sweet treat. Most of the time, I just throw in a sweeter fruit like apples or some dried fruit plus nuts. They really don't need sugar. I'm someone who needs a substantial breakfast to function, so I like the protein and fiber. And the taste 😋 

it can work, you just need to add a dash of ACV to help soften and make sure it's a full 8 hours. I used to take these to work and heat up in microwave. 

I suppose white vinegar would also work. it's about adding an acid. 

I drink coffee black, and only like sweet food to pair with the bitter (Salty and fatty foods with java just make me cringe. I have no idea how Keto kids can stomach their breakfasts🤮) . The only way I can see myself cooking oats is at dinnertime. Have you ever tossed in a handful with a stew? Normally I would add barley, 

Thanks for the suggestion, Katsolo! JustBananas -- most of the only times I've ever tried oats with savory I didn't like it. Years ago, I used to make goetta, which is a sausage-oats loaf you slice and fry. Definitely off my diet now! 😂 Other than that, I've never liked savory versions of oats, so I'll skip the stew idea. Yeah, the keto breakfasts don't do a lot for me, either, but to each their own. I'm sure a lot of folks are equally grossed out by tofu 😉 

I meant combining bitter coffee with a salty Keto meal would be awful. Tofu with coffee would be awful, too, for the same taste bud reasons. I guess I'll have to play around with the oats and just cook a separate pot of a recipe to try things out (so that I don't ruin the whole thing if I dislike it). 

Well thanks for the warning writingwyo, I hope you will feel better soon.  

Thanks, buenitabishop 😊 Am feeling well 👍 

I'm so glad writingwyo
