I use them to make porridge for breakfast. You boil two cups of water and a pinch of salt (optional) then add one cup of the oats and cook for about 10-15 minutes depending on how you like them (al dente or creamy). You can then top with whatever you like. I usually add berries or chopped fresh fruits (bananas, apricots, peaches), some honey (or agave syrup if you prefer), a tablespoon of ground almonds and some chia seeds. It's a very filling breakfast that keeps you going for ages and the kids love it too, which is a bonus :) The possibilities are endless with oats, though. You can use them in baking (breads, cookies, etc.). There are many recipes out there.
I have tried other brands of rolled oats, but they seem to just disintegrate into slop once you cook them. The Bob's Red Mills ones hold their shape and have a really nice texture.
Thanks, ladies! The Organic supermarket in the Greens didn't have any either but I managed to find them in Choithrams.
They seem to have all of the other Bob's Red Mill products under the sun in many places, but the old fashioned, whole grain oats were the hardest to find. Some supermarkets have them in the "Organic" section, while others stock them in the breakfast cereals aisle, just to confuse things!
Have been looking all over for Bob's Red Mill whole grain regular rolled oats and can't seem to find them anywhere. Most of the supermarkets have the other Red Mill products but not the oats. Anyone seen them? TIA
