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
Oh yeah? Well what about fully loaded baked potato flavored 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
“So what flavor is your cereal?”
“THEM”
I do the same with rice and beans and stuff. Just a little of this and a little of that and BOOM: decent meal or three!
Also, a pro tip for plain rolled oats is coffee creamer and that strawberry syrup you use for ice cream or strawberry milk. Add some granola and raisens (stuff food pantries usually give out) and you have yourself a decent breakfast.
Im on a process food diet, but I do have an idea of pouring in corn syrup to cut out food processing middle men.
High-fructose corn syrup is in all meaningful ways the same as sugar. (Unless you’re allergic to corn. And the mouth feel in soda is slightly different).
High-fructose is an inverted sugar. There is a much higher fructose to glucose ratio and that can put excess strain on your liver as it has to convert that fructose into other products, mainly glucose as fructose itself cannot be used by the body directly for energy.
It’s not as crunchy though, i want crunchy.
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 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 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)
You can make any flavor of cereal you want… as long as it’s oatmeal.
Oatmeal is a cereal plant like grains
How do I make fruit loops?
*froot loops
I only have experience making cinnamon toast crunch (rice flour based) and corn flakes (you’ll never guess what kind of flour this uses), but I’d imagine you can make fruit loops at home as well.
EDIT: Interesting idea, puffed rice is basically how what rice krispies are, and a lot of cereals have a similar texture. Maybe it’s possible to essentially make a kind of rice paste by overcooking rice and using way too much water while cooking it, flavor it however you like, shape it however you like, dry it out thoroughly, and then deep fry it to puff it. I haven’t tried it, so no idea how well it will work.
It’s potato flour, isn’t it
Lemon basil tastes just like fruity pebbles/fruit loops
I asked an AI and apparently it’s citrus zest. It’s outer layer of lemon and oranges. Then you can add honey or syrup
Potato
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.
If you mix the spice with the milk before you add it to the other stuff, it should work a bit better to avoid the pockets of flavor. You’ll still want to stir the finished product, but as long as you don’t give it time to separate before pouring in, should help a lot.
You can also make whatever kind of microwave popcorn you want, just get some brown paper lunch bags and loose popping corn, put about a cup of corns in the bag, fold the end over several times, and pop it like regular microwave popcorn (you’ll wanna watch the time until you get a feel for how long it takes, since the volume is different than pre-packaged) then take your seasoning of choice and either sprinkle on directly (if powder seasoning it should stick fine without help) or spray some water/drizzle some butter or oil and use that to stick on your flavors if they are bigger bits. Im a big fan of garlic and sweet onion popcorn :) and if you skip the oil, super healthy snack. I kept a jar of corns and a small spice cabinet at work so I could make it whenever, was lovely.
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.
Curry powder is very good too.
Its weird but my wife put my breakfast sausage in the same bowl with my brown sugar and apples oatmeal. It was actually really good all together.
Oatmeal is kind of like the bread of the plate, not weird at all. You can buy apple and brown sugar sausages.
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.
Never used either so TIL
