Weight Loss Forum / General Topics / March 2004Adding cocoa powder to hot oat bran cereal?
Has anyone tried that? I learned yesterday that I could make oat bran cereal with water and spice containing dried vegetables and MSG. It tastes great. Now I had this idea to cook hot oat bran cereal with FF milk and cocoa powder. I am curious if anyone did that. i > Has anyone tried that? Yup.

You see, Iwant my oat bran cereal to be relatively low calorie food. Maybe one day I will try it with PB, as well. i Can you describe your oat bran cereal to me. I can't visualise what it's like - it's either different from anything we have here, or I know it by another name. janice 233/177/133 >Has anyone tried that?

I used to cook it the following way: Take 3 "cups" of FF milk Add 6 very full tablespoons of oat bran Add a bit of salt Boil gently for 20 minutes or so The result is a pretty decent, a little sweet hot cereal. (maybe it is known as "porridge" in the UK). It has jello like consistency and retains shape. Then someone told me that I can cook it the following way: Take 3 cups of water Add 6 very full tablespoons of oat bran Add Polish "vegeta" spice, which is a mix of salt, MSG, and dried vegetables Add something like a few cashews or sunflower seeds Boil gently for 20 minutes or so The result is a soft, meat like tasting hot cereal that is not sweet but it feels like you are eating some nice meat product. Very tasty, I took it to work for today. What I am thinking of making is this: Take 3 cups of FF milk Add 6 full spoons of oat bran Add 2? spoons of cocoa powder mix Boil for 20 minutes. i >> Can you describe your oat bran cereal to me.

Thanks Ig, but my question was more basic - what does it look like before you cook it or put anything with it? I don't know if it's like what we called rolled oats, or porridge oats - which are flattened and make a smooth porridge when cooked with water. I thought that was what you call oatmeal, though. This always confuses me and I've forgotten what the answer is. janice 233/177/133 >>> Can you describe your oat bran cereal to me.

But I just was looking online and found this: http://www.rawfoods.com/recipes/oatbran.html Its a recipe for oat bran cereal using oat bran, or rolled oats. When I make oat bran muffins I tend to use a cereal like Raisen Bran to get the "bran" but here in the states you can buy ground oat bran in the health food stores like you would buy flour. This is used for baking things like muffins and breads, etc. >>>Can you describe your oat bran cereal to me.

This is the kind that I have at the moment: http://www.bobsredmill.com/catalog/index.php?action=showdetails&product_ID=268 Signaturejmk in NC >>> Can you describe your oat bran cereal to me.

As far as I understand, oat bran is the bran of oats, whereas oatmeal is oats with bran removed. Oat bran looks like grey powder with relatively large particles. i |
