My sister left them behind after a visit to el rancho Kabong. I’m not much for oatmeal as a breakfast item. I suppose I could make oatmeal cookies, but I’m wondering if any of the pros here might know of an oat-based food that’s a bit more er, imaginative. All suggestions welcome.
Are they from Holland?
What is their current form? Quick oats, rolled oats, steel cut oats, oat groats?
You could always try making apple crisp.
Are you a homebrewer? How about a nice thick oatmeal stout. If you start it in a month or so, you’ll have a wonderful brew around the holidays.
No-bake cookies have oatmeal as one of their main ingredents (I think the others are peanut butter, butter, and chocolate chips, but don’t quote me).
Granola is also good.
You could make haggis.
What picker said. 
Oatmeal stout…yummy!
Quick, although at the moment they don’t appear to be moving at all.
Matrimonial Cake is an old standard in western Canada. (In other places it’s “Date Cake” or “Date Squares” or a few other names.) You can fill it with raisins, figs, or mincemeat if you like, but dates are traditional.
Granola sounds so boring. But really, it’s delicious when it’s homemade, and you can guess all the amounts. Just use oil (or melted butter or margarine), honey (or maple syrup, molasses) and mix enough with the granola to get it pretty moist (you can also add a little water). Then mix in toasted nuts, sunflower seeds, crystallized ginger, coconut, cinnamon, vanilla, flax, etc. Mix well and spread it all out on a pan. Bake in a toaster overn (or conventional) for about 15-20 minutes. Serve with vanilla yogurt. Have a little more. Then a little more. Admit you are an addict.
Haggis…yummy! :dubious:
It is!
You could always make flapjacks – oats, butter, sugar and a splash of milk. Bake in oven. Heavenly.
You could always make Shampoo
I vote for cookies, can’t go wrong with oatmeal cookies … unless you put raisins in them.
I had a recipe for some really nice lacy oatmeal cookies that I made around Christmas and now my Swiss Cheese memory won’t let me remember which cook book it was in. If I find it I will post it.
Slice the tops off apples, hollow out the core (melon baller works great) fill with a bit of honey, and sprinkle a mixture of oats and brown sugar over the top. Heat in oven.
Yummy. I think I may have stolen this recipe from Alton Brown. The last time I did it, I mixed the oats and brown sugar with melted butter…
::runs off to store to buy some apples and oats::
You can use them as bait to catch a horse.
Or a Scot.
Turn over the container, get a spoon, play some percussion.
Sow them.
But only if they’re wild.
If they’re just plain old oats, you CAN, however, feel them.
