It depends where you live (I’m in Bangkok, so grocery choices are quite limited).
I love Oats. I got massively back into them again this year… now I buy around 3kg every month (instant oats).
It’s only this year, really, that I discovered that oats are still really good and creamy when not made with milk… and it’s really easy to boil a single cup of water to dump on a cup of oats for a perfect breakfast (left standing for a minute - done… no need to ‘microwave’ oats).
pulsed to powder in the blender with a cup of boiling water poured over.
Blend 100ml milk with 3 strawberries and mix that in. The beauty of this is (as my son does NOT like stodgy/thick porridge) I can add an extra 100ml of milk to his breakfast, and it becomes a liquid smoothie.
Breakfast 2:
Weetbix are not too cheap, but ONE biscuit mixed with ONE cup of oats is a massive breakfast - and tastes of Weetbix… and is ridiculously cheap in comparison.
Breakfast 3
Oats work great with eggs…
1 cup oats, some salt, some cumin (maybe a teaspoon)
2/3 cup boiling water (soak a minute)
2 duck eggs mixed in
butter up the frying pan and dump it in there, cover and cook gently for 3 minutes, flip and give them another 3 minutes.
