I prep whole oat groats every week for "oatmeal." Cook them up in my rice cooker with some cinnamon, and then store in the fridge to use for breakfast all week. With maple syrup, berries, ground flax and milk. Super yummy and filling!
Yep. Instant pot for me. Easy peasy
I just make my quick oats for the week in advance and then cook them up for breakfast. All those combinations in them sound delicious!
How do u make them last that long mine last mostly 3 days
Found that toasting my freshly flaked oats eliminates that musty smell and gives them a pleasant nutty flavor. 350°F for 15 minutes is what I use.
Ooo I may have to try that!
I have a Komo grain mill and I put it on a coarse setting and grind my oat groats. They come out like quick cook steel cut oats. For 2 servings I use 1/2 c., 1 1/2 cups of milk. I cover it and put it in my fridge overnight. In the morning I add 2 bananas, raisins and nuts. I cook in my microwave 5 minutes, stir and cook 3 minutes on power of 6 for 3 minutes. I season with pumpkin pie spice. It is one of my favorite breakfasts.
Thanks for the info!
You know this is all new for me. I just bought my first bag of oat groats. This was very interesting. Next month I get to buy a flaker. I love your videos and your personality. You are doing a great job! hugs from Oregon! May God pour his blessings overflowing onto you and your family!
Thank you!
Took me over a year to get the Messerschmidt flaker for my KithenAid. It was always out of stock. When it was finally available, the price increased 50%.
Thank you, Felicia, I needed that video. I immediately got up & put my oats in a Mason jar and dated them. 👍
I've been able to make rolled oats with my hand crank pasta maker. The groats must be soaked, then drained and moist but not wet. I let them sit in a colander after rinsing them, for about 15 min. After that, I put them in a bowel and get a big spoon...set my pasta maker at the number 6 position and spoon the groats over the plain rollers. If you have a container that fits under the rollers then place it there to catch the rolled oats. I don't so I just use plastic or tin foil to collect them. I also have a hand crank oat flaker that cost me $400. Honestly....I think the pasta maker makes more perfectly formed rolled oats. I usually only make enough for a few days so I keep the moist ones in the fridge but I could hydrate them in my dehydrater as well. If I do a larger batch, I usually soak and wash my grains and then I dehydrate them and then roll them with my more expensive oat flaker. There is a video on RUclips where I learned how to flake them with a pasta maker. If you just search for "making rolled oats with pasta maker" it will probably turn up. More precisely it is called, "How to Roll Oats at Home". It is 3 min.49 seconds long. The Channel is Gourmet Vegetarian K. Hope this helps someone on a limited budget as it did for me before I could afford an oat flaker.

I was under the impression that rolled oats in mylar with O2 absorbers lasted approx 15 to 20. Hoping to get our first mill this week.
This is such an informative video. Thank you.
Great information! I now know how to use those oat groats that are still in my PHG bucket.
Very informative! Thank you for the information!
I absolutely love fresh flaked oats
Thank you so much Eva
WOW! I had no idea about this at all! Thank you so much! That was so informative. 🥰👌
You are so welcome!
Great information. I always learn so much watching your channel. Does that flaker also work on the Nutrimill Artiste? I know the Artiste shares a few attachments with the Bosch, but always like to double check.
Thank you for the oat tutorial! I especially enjoyed the history, I'm the strong Irish, lol ❤
Me too! Agreed!
i have been loving oats lately and make porridge with whole oat groats for breakfast as it reminds me of a dish i love called persian halim. i really enjoyed your video and watched it with a smile. appreciate your thorough way of covering every relevant aspect of the topic. your vibe is really sweet and i love your positive energy. lots of love from iran. ❤
Wow, a subscriber from Iran. Thank-you so much for watching. I hope you stick around!
I simply run the groats in my komo to crack them. Then I cook them like cream of wheat or something similar to steel cut. They come out great. I don't have a flaker so I never tried that.
Sounds simple enough
😮 15:05
I was on the mock mill site and they showed you how just like wheat, oats, lose a lot of their nutrition, shortly after being processed. I do not have a flaker. But I am looking into different ways to cook these oats without one. Chopping in the food processor someone else soaks them and rolls them over her pasta machine, which flakes them, and other people just cook them in their instant pothole, which looks quite delicious as well. Maybe one day will get the flaker, but not yet.just spent a fortune on the Miller
I'm wondering about processing the oat groats in a high-speed blender such as a Blendtec or Vitamix (since I already have one -- and I made bread from making flour in my Blendtec for well over a year before purchasing a grain mill). My plan is to purchase a small package of the groats and try it out.
It’s a little confusing when you look it up. I believe if the hulls are removed, they call them hulled not de-hulled. I was trying to make sure I did not get the wrong thing. And I’m still not sure what the actual correct term is. I don’t want to buy the ones with the hulls on them. I can’t afford the shipping at Pleasant Hill Grains. So I’m trying to get them free shipping on Amazon.
2:23 As well as rye!
Can you just grind them on your miller like Mock Mill on a course setting? Would that make them like steel cut?
Can you tell me where you got the flaker attachment for the Bosch Universal plus machine? I am being told that they do not make that attachment and I can't find it offered on any of their web sites.
Love your channel

Just bought my first groats. Had assumed I would just grind them for flour, as I don’t have a flaker at this point. Can oat flour be used as a wheat flour substitute, or is it advisable to mix the two? Thanks for being so gracious to share your wisdom!
Oat flour is definitely not for bread making.
I use it for quick breads all the time. Pancakes, muffins,... anything that calls for baking powder. It won’t work for yeast breads.
What would happen if you ran the flakes through again? Would it break them up a little for quick outs? I am wondering if there would be a way to dirty less equipment.
I don’t think so. I’ve never tried it, I’m just going by instinct. I think the oats would be too thin for the roller to do anything the second time through.
I had never heard they would go rancid quick. I have some in Mylar bags with oxygen absorbers and they were vacuum packed. I am assuming I should go ahead and toast all of them and then re-bag and vacuum.
I have since done more research about this and there is conflicting info. Wallaby Goods says they’re fine in sealed Mylar bags for 20 years.
So my suggestion is if you’re going for long term storage, check them each year. You can reseal Mylar bags 😀
what about storing with mylar for long term? with or without oxygen absorber?
Thanks for commenting! I actually did a video all about storing grains. You can check it out here: ruclips.net/video/cKWXYSNoQ_Y/видео.html
Best out fun has been in the "Outlander" books or series on showtime with the king of france..😂😂😂
"Husband...wonderful thing" especially when you have no power...
Can you do this with wheat berries as well. Is this all you can do with the flaker?
I have never done it, but honestly I don't know why I haven't. You asking this question made me realize I probably could lol Oat groats look exactly like wheat berries, so I think you can!
once you cut or roll them is there a time limit like wheat berries when they lose their nutrients or oils? I know you said wheat will lose most of it in a day or so..
Yeah, I don't know off hand what that time limit is, but I would think it's similar to wheat berries. Once the grain is opened/compromised, the germ begins oxidizing. It's just the natural way of things. I'd eat it as fresh as possible.
How long do the oats last once you roll them?
I would think a week or so. But I prefer them fresh.
Great video! Thank you! I love oat! I bought oat groats… maybe over a year ago… I milled it into flour. Everything was great. Then I discovered flakers… I bought a Mockmill flaker. It works really well. However, when I made oatmeal, there were many hard little skins… you can’t chew them, they have to be removed.
My question, is it normal to have those skins… ? Or does this mean it was not dehulled? I am so disappointed… the oatmeal is good, very creamy… but those skins… I don’t want to pick them one by one. And if I want to make oat milk with my oat groats, should I cook a little the groats? I was making my oat milk with store bought rolled oats… but I would much prefer to make it with the groats. Thank you! I hope you can give me advices.
Yeah, I don't think you bought the right oats.
@@GrainsandGrit Then which one should I buy? These are oat groats… are there several kinds?
Will there be a big nutritional loss if I buy steel cut oats instead of whole oat groats? I imagine that, since cutting them creates more surface area, there will be more oxidation with steel cut oats.
Since cutting whole oats groats at home is such a challenge, it might be worth a little nutrition loss in exchange for the texture and reduced cooking time with steel cut oats. Hopefully it’s not a big nutrition loss with steel cutting.
I’m also curious what the nutritional difference is between whole oats groats and store bought rolled oats. I guess you don’t loose nutrition with rolled oats if you roll/flake them at home and use them right away. With store bought rolled oats, they may be on the shelf for a while. I’m guessing they oxidize and lose nutrition more rapidly once they are rolled/flaked.
At least store bought rolled oats still contain some germ/healthy oil (albeit partly oxidized) in comparison with store bought whole wheat flour where the germ is removed to extend shelf life.
Thanks for the great videos!
So are you saying you can’t store rolled oats in Mylar etc long term?
Actually, I may have been mistaken about this. There is conflicting info out there. According to Wallaby Goods, hulled oats can be stored long term in sealed mylar bags. You can check out their list here: wallabygoods.com/blogs/food-storage-tips/what-foods-can-you-store-in-mylar-bags
I would just make sure they are stabilized to ensure the oils won't cause anything to go rancid :-) That's my personal opinion!
@@GrainsandGrit thanks! I’ve found lots of info about storing rolled oats for 25 years in Mylar with oxygen absorbers. If they’ve been steamed then rolled the oils are considered stabilized. This is how I’m storing mine even for just a year to retain freshness.
As long you keep the oxygen away from the grain, it can't go rancid so it should be able to store indefinitely.
Is there enough gluten to make bread with just oat flour?
You can use it in bread, but not enough to use by itself for a yeast bread.
Oat bran?
Half the time I buy them they are rancid. I bought a huge amount from pleasant hill. They were totaly rancid on delivery. I wouldn’t long term store unless I froze them.
That's surprising - did you talk to their customer service about this? I've never heard of their product being rancid even slightly.
@@GrainsandGrit Yes I got the huge bigger than 55 gallon storage one. I emailed them no response. So I am done with them. I get smaller amounts of groats from azure standard now. And store them in the freezer.
Priced on the equipment😢😢😢
Love your videos , but I feel out of breath afterward.
Haha, lot of ground to cover!
@@GrainsandGrit understand, but you have all the time in the world.. it’s a RUclips video.
You might consider moving your microphone to the side or just further from your mouth to reduce the sound of your breathing. It makes you sound out of breath and it's distracting. Otherwise thanks for the info.
Thanks for the tip.
Question does the nutrimill .Artiste have a rolled oats attachment ?
I don't think it does.
