This thread makes no sense. Why are you eating oatmeal every day if you hate oatmeal? Why would it be "better for you" to hydrate oats, it's just fucking water. Why are you surprised that soaking oats in water for hours makes them soggy?

Because it's delicious when baked and disgusting when not.

I'm not, I'm wondering if it's even possible to bake them like this and get a good consistency.

Post a recipe, looks interesting.

Also maybe try an even shallower dish or higher heat?

So by making more of the starch impossible to digest you're making it easier to digest, now I get it.

You have to get rid of the water again, which is not going to happen in places where the water cannot evaporate easily, since it won't reach boiling point in an oven. So what you'd have to do is spread them out thinly first, bake to dry out, then compose your dish. Alternatively, you can toast them in a pan

So it worked fine until you started soaking your oatmeal? I'm curious to try this, it sounds like a pretty good way to eat oatmeal. I'm assuming the texture is more interesting than just boiled oatmeal.

At that point I might as well just eat it without soaking.

Well it's really versatile and can taste however want. The very basic recipe I usually have is

>50-100g Rolled Oats
>1 egg (can work with 2, but 1 gives a better consistency)
>50-100ml liquid (depends on amount of oats)

Bake in pre-heated oven at 200c-250c for 20-30 minutes or until desired consistency.

Here are a few really basic recipes I rotate between.

Banitza Oats
>100g Oats
>1 Egg
>20g Balkan Cheese
>2 Teaspoons fat
>80g-100g Yogurt

Banana Bake
>50g Rolled Oats
>1 Medium Banana
>Pinch of salt
>Pinch of cinnamon
>1 Egg
>50ml milk

>Basic Savory Bake
>100g Rolled Oats
>1 Egg
>100ml water
>2 Teaspoons oil
>pinch of salt
>1 Teaspoon cumin seeds
>favorite cheese on top

Well I'm not the one who thought it would be a good idea to soak something in water that's supposed to be baked crunchy. That makes about as much fucking sense as installing a stovetop inside a freezer

>>7514857
Well thank you for the advise anyway. I guess I have to give up the memes and just enjoy my oats.

>>7514839

Rolled oats are the problem, anon. Your oats are already par-cooked with steam. You shouldn't be soaking rolled oats or they'll get gummy and disgusting. Use steel-cut oats that haven't been steamed.

Soak those overnight in salty water, and then drain - let dry, and then toast them in a pan. Proceed to bake.

Thank's for the info, but that sounds like too much to do every single morning before classes, so I guess I'll just make the old bake like I used to.

Retard?
Soaking them makes them more easily digestable by your organism. Also water is good for you.

Wow, rude.

>>7514936
You're right. Sorry m8

So it's a flapjack?

>No sugar
>No syrup
>Oil with less saturated fat than what butter has

Otherwise yeah.
