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
One thing I discovered way too late is that it’s not worth it to distribute the flavour equally everywhere. Each bite giving me a different taste was the hit for me.
Miilquetoast chocolatey aftertaste is super underwhelming when compared to no chocolate for a while and then a full on chocolate award bite
Heat the milk up slightly separately and add the spice into that. You want the liquid flavored.
Stir everything else and add the oatmeal last. Also grow berries/fruit in your garden and put them in
Potato
I agree
You couldn’t find pumpkin spice, so you used pumpkin spice?
Not sure if post is edited by now, but it 1st is “pumpkin spice” and 2nd is “pumpkin pie spice”.
Yes, my point is that they’re the same thing.
I get it. I couldn’t find cupcake mix the other day for my cupcakes so I had to use plain old cake mix instead. You gotta be resourceful!
Never used either so TIL
The little marshmallows require a little more work.
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.)
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?
Oatmeal is considered a hot 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.
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.
I’m a big fan of fresh ground spices, and other seeds. The seed is nature’s storage form, till the time is right. The outside of chia seeds is a coating that absorbs water to help ensure germination. It’s the inside where the protein and essential fatty acids reside. Grinding immediately before using opens the seeds husk, and makes the nutrients in the interior available.
Curry powder is very good too.
Curry oatmeal? I’m intrigued is that good? Just curry powder or more?
Some options:
Raisins, cashews, peanut butter, molasses, honey. Not all at once.
not all at once
OP says i can make it whatever flavor I want, bro.
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)
I think they mean that adding flavouring to non-oatmeal is less successful.
do you not have Kellogg’s breakfast masturbatory aid (very sarcastic)
You mean a yogurt enema?
Oatmeal is a cereal plant like grains
While true, nobody refers to a bowl of oatmeal as “cereal”
Why would you want any other
It’s the elite cereal
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!
I’ve never really thought of nonsavory oatmeal. I usually do cinnamon with backstrap. What’s the other option palatewise
I mean, most people put fruit or sugar or something sweet in their oatmeal like pretty much every other post here
YSK that you can make any food you want
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 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)
It is the spices you would use when making a pumpkin pie. Pumpkin itself doesn’t have much of a taste.
Pumpkin does have a taste, rather like squash but not as sweet. The spices (and sugar) are what make pumpkin pie yummy. You could make a pie without the pumpkin, just the spices and sugar and evaporated milk and eggs, maybe a half-teaspoon of cornstarch to help make a custardy filling, baked in a pie shell. It would be yummy. But it wouldn’t be pumpkin pie.
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 has a strong and disgusting flavor which must be masked with spices to make it edible.
What a strange post. Yes. Yes you can mix any flavor you want with oats. I prefer savory and make them like I would cheese grits: butter, jalapeño, garlic, cheese. Or throw in cumin and some chili powder and cayenne. We typically do steel cut over rolled since we prefer the texture. My kids throw on vanilla and maple syrup.
“So what flavor is your cereal?”
“THEM”
