I made oatmeal cookies last week and every few days a fresh batch of oatmeal in the Ninja Cooker. I love that thing.

Does Cream o Wheat count? Is there a cookie recipe?

[Absolutely!]

Tell me: is oatmeal actual meal made of oats, or is it just oats that are crushed?

Over here we have rolled oats, and we cook them into porridge. At no point do we experience 'oatmeal'.

My theory is that oatmeal is the sweepings left over from rolling the oats. A bit like creamed corn. Somehow, they've convinced people to eat what should be sold as animal feed.

I make oatmeal pancakes with butter, bananas and cinnamon. That shit is on point!

It looks like this, Abs.

[Absolutely!]

It looks like this, Abs.

Thanks gamgee - they look like what I'd just call oats.

Here's rolled oats, you can see they have sort of been squashed. this breaks them open and makes them easier to cook.



editing becuase I realise yours have some squashed too. Just perhaps less are squashed.

My picture was supposed to be rolled oats. That's what we cook for breakfast. Boil and cook for five minutes. There's the instant kind, too.

It's all allowed here.

Someone needs to tell TK to take his cream of wheat elsewhere.

sounds like the same thing then. We have them finer or coarser depending on what porridge we like. Cook it runny or thick depending on how we like to eat it.

I like mine medium thick. Cooked 1/2 & 1/2 in milk & water, 1 lge pinch salt per person, I then pour into a plate, create an island of porridge with a sea of milk around, sprinkle with brown sugar and then eat round the outside till it's all gone. That way the milk always cools the next bite...
