Oatmeal is healthy for you! Maybe not with all the brown sugar and stuff they put in it, but for $1, who cares 😛

Am I blind or is the fine print on the coupon hard to read?

I actually made some for dinner after seeing that ad, haha. Threw on some sliced bananas and brown sugar, mmm! 😀

Regular oatmeal is way too mushy for my tastes, but Irish steel-cut oats are fabulous! I use my fuzzy-logic rice cooker to cook up a bunch automatically, then throw it in the fridge to eat during the week. I usually use light Agave nectar for flavoring though 🙂

I love Irish/scottish steel cut oats but they really work your jaw out.

If you have a rice cooker, try tossing them in there. Mine come out chunky/creamy, not hard at all. Steel-cut oats take a looooooooong time to cook though, so they may not be cooked long enough if they're tough to chew 😉

Shoot..I never heard of "steel cut" oats..LOL. Too used to good ol' Quaker oatmail. Is there are real benefit to steel cut over regular rolled quaker oats? Guess I should just give this a try.

I bought McCann's. Maybe I didn't cook them long enough. They were still really good though just that after a bowl, my jaw was really tired like I had been chewing a big piece of bubble gum for an hour. I guess mine were about the texture of wild rice, maybe slightly firmer and chewy. I really enjoyed it but it was like 10-15+ seconds of chewing per bite. Never thought about chews per bite before...

I never had the oatmeal at Jamba Juice. I go there all the time though in the summer for a bananna berry smoothie. I ate some healthy steel cut oatmeal cookie though which was really expensive and tasted like chewy cardboard.

It's basically a chunky version of oatmeal, whereas regular oats are mushy. Different texture.

Mine cooks for ~45 minutes in the rice cooker. I don't even have to chew if I don't want to, so yeah, cook it a wee bit longer 😀

I do the same basic thing, except use a crockpot and let it cook on med for about an hour or two.

Tip from "Good Eats" cook them without salt, and add salt when you are ready to eat them for maximum water inside the oats.

Steel cut oats are not precooked with steam like rolled oats, so the bits retain moisture from cooking and have a snap to them.

I buy mine at Whole Foods for WAY less than a buck a serving.

I buy quick oats at $.33 to $.50 per pound (Henry's). How much do steelies cost?

Also, seems like it's not as easy as "just add water". >_< Maybe I can overcome my laziness to try some (or just buy some at JJ).

lol I zoomed in on the scan and the fine print says scans are not valid.

This is a prepared take-out serving, so you cannot compare the price with the unprepared oats at the supermarket... apples and oranges.
