On this week’s episode of the Brew Files, Drew and Denny talk one of Drew’s favorite ingredients - oats, their origin, their use, their forms, pitfalls, styles and one of Drew’s beloved recipes for Drew’s beloved pup - Cookie.
Absolutely. I quite liked that little blurb. I’m not a big fan of flaked oatmeal either; I’ll eat it but it needs some dried fruit, nuts/seeds, salt, and splash of cream. Oats are just little too bland and mush for me to really love it. Steel cut oats are far superior to flaked oatmeal as a breakfast food due to the chewy texture - they still need the extras though.
Now, flaked rye for breakfast -cooked just like oatmeal- are quite a bit better than oats. Way more flavor with a grainy, nutty quality to them; still have the mush factor but there is a little more texture that makes them more appealing to me.
