After reading some of the preceding ideas, I successfully tweaked a favorite recipe for quickbread: 1 3/4 cup each flour and cooked oatmeal (cooked with raisins and apple); 1/2 cup sugar; 1/4 cup each peanut butter, canola oil, dry cocoa powder, and apple juice; 2 large eggs; 1 tsp each baking soda and cinnamon, 1/4 tsp salt. I cooked it in my toaster oven in a glass pie plate, sprayed with oil, for 45 minutes at 300 degrees.

Portion it out into your dog’s dinner. Arlo loves steel cut oats in his regular kibbles.

My husband and I make oatmeal with maple and brown sugar, then any leftovers we freeze and I add it to chili when I make it. It gives the chili a little sweetness plus thickens it a little. We’ll do this with leftover cornbread and stuffing as well.

Do you reccomend the use of flavored oatmeal when using this recipes? or that would change the concept of it?

Hi, Here it is December, but I just found this blog. I was looking for additional ways to use, because we eat alot of oatmeal around here come fall/winter. I usually have at least a cup or two left, even when my youngest daughter has some later in the day for snack. I alternate whole rolled and steel-cut for breadfast and find either works for leftover recipes. We usually make oatmeal cake (the one with the fab topping of coconut/pecans/bsugar/butter, or I make a poolish for some great dinner rolls or bread. To make the cake, I just follow any recipe for oatmeal cake but where they call for oats and warm water, I sub in the already done oatmeal. The poolish (sponge for yeast breads) I put the warm oatmeal in a bowl with a couple of tsp butter, a T or 2 of molasses, honey or agave nectar, 1/4 tsp salt 1-2 tsp yeast (depending on how much you make yeast breads) and 1-2 cups flour, bread or other. Stir, should be gooey-ish, cover and let make stringy, glutenous poolish 1 hr-3 before adding enough flour to knead into a smooth ball. either by hand or in bread machine. Rise and bake as usual.

You can put it in a smoothy. Use oatmeal, strawberries, soy milk, a banana, vanilla extract, and a smoothy. Blend them together well. Delicious with a creamy texture.

I use it as a healthy alternative to brownies when I’m craving them. No kidding!

I use plain oatmeal cooked with skim milk. I add about 3 packets of Splenda and 3 teaspoons Hershey’s Cocoa powder. Mix it up. Stick in in the microwave until it’s warm. Sprinkle some walnuts on top, and you’ve got something chocolate and filling.
