cold oatmeal with maple syrup (ingredients, skillet, cookie, cream)

[jonbenson]

Make some oat meal, twice as much as usually would
with chopped plums added or berries, don't be skimpy with it,
small pinch of salt

Eat half hot and only add sugar or whatever only to the half you are eating
Refrigerate the rest in a bowl

The next day take out the remaining half from the refrigerator
and put it on to a plate because it's solid now
and it has to have to have the right look
Poke a lot of holes in it with a chop stick.
Pour maple syrup over it

That's actually really good.

I often made my oatmeal a bit on the "dry side" so that when it cooled off it would be almost the consistency of a cookie dough. Then I would drizzle honey on it.

I would also add hot chocolate mix to oatmeal and add enough hot milk to make a slurry.

Cold oatmeal used to be common when I grew up. It was dressed with cream and maple syrup. The cream was crucial to making it palatable.

I like GRITS with some butter with a fried egg on top


sometimes I add a spoon of fruit jam on my oatmeal or sprinkle some raisins over it

this is easy to make, Scottish oatcakes. They use an oven here, you can also do it in a dry skillet.
For the skillet method you could make a bigger one the size of a medium tortilla 5-6 inch diameter, give it 2.5 minutes per side on a low flame, no oil necessary, put them right in the dry pan

The melted butter or oil in the dough is optional, you can use just oats and water if you want

You don't have to measure the ingredients you can wing it if you want

They taste very hearty. If they are too horse-food-esque for you you can mix some sugar or honey into the the oat dough, chocolate chips if you really want to defy tradition

I make oatcakes sometimes, I just use oats & yogurt. Bake in microwave.

I like fried oatmeal. My late friend Judy introduced me to it.
