Left-over cooked oats

Does anyone have any recipes or worthwhile ideas on what to do with leftover oatmeal?

I like to heat 'em up again with milk and (real) maple syrup. In fact at least half the oatmeal I
eat is reheated because I can't be bothered to make the slow-cook stuff for one meal only. It
doesn't taste any worse, IMO, and possibly tastes better.

You can also make a lot of baked goods with cooked oatmeal, such as oatmeal muffins with jam. These
have a very nice texture IMO.

I cook a fair amount of steel cut oatmeal and there is usually some left over which I have with only
maple syrup (no milk) and cold to boot. It is quite lovely.

My husband is a heart patient. I often make whole oats (or other grains) for him which I cook
overnight in a small crockpot. There are always leftovers that I would like to use in other
dishes. Thank you in advance for any help. -CatinTX

It can be mixed into "meatloaf" and similar recipes the same way you'd use bread crumbs or crackers.

Like the others, I just put it in the fridge and warm it up with a little milk the next day (or in
the middle of the night).

If it's other grains like brown rice they make great fillers for soups, and can be part of various
"pilaf" dishes made with vegetables and a little meat stock.

Cooked oatmeal can go into yeast breads or quick breads. So can other leftover cooked cereals like
corn grits. "Laurel's Kitchen" or "Laurel's Bread Book" (forget which) would have recipes.

Look up recipes for 'spent grain bread'. Its a long time favorite of brewers to use up some of the
grain that would be thrown in the garbage. In the brewing process, the grains are steeped just long
enough to get all of the sugars and proteins out of the grain. There is plenty of flavor left for it
to be used again. The grains you have can probably be use din the same way. Just make sure to
compensate for the moisture present in the grains you have cooked.

Also good stirred into pancake batter.

Mix a little egg (or just egg white) into it, form it into patties, dredge in flour and fry. Goes
nicely with a poached egg (or scrambled egg beaters) on top and a slice of ham or turkey underneath.

Can also crumble cooked and drained bacon into it before making the patty.

Mix with ground beef (and other things normally used) to make stuffed peppers or other
stuffed veggies.

I love fried oatmeal. If you pack the leftovers in a loaf pan and chill then you can turn out the
loaf and slice and fry. I would fry bacon and then fry the oatmeal in the bacon fat and serve it
with maple syrup. Kate

Nice! I do that with grits and cornmeal (slicing and frying) but I've never thought of oatmeal. So
tomorrow morning I make extra.

I've never done it with grits, although I've heard of it, but I've been eating cornmeal mush
(that is, the slice and fried version, not the cereal in a bowl version) since I was a kid. My
mother always made it. I loved the stuff. I still make it from time to time when I'm feeling
nostalgic. Kate

When I was little, I like fried Cream of Wheat...no butter or syrup. This morning, I ended up with
too much 10-grain hot cereal. I've got it in the fridge and will fry it if I need a munchy when I
come home from church tonight.

I haven't had the Cream of Wheat squares in a long, long time. I will have to get some and try it
again soon.

I love fried polenta or blue cornmeal mush, too.

But this might not be a good idea for the OP who mentioned a heart problem.

I imagine that left over Cream of Wheat would be good fried topped with butter. When I first tried
Grits I thought that it tasted a lot like Cream of Wheat. If you want to try some really good
porridge, try Red River Cereal. I don't think that it is available in the US, but any time I visit
friends and relatives in the US they usually ask me to bring some for them. It's great stuff, with a
lot more flavour than most hot cereals. .

I looked on their web site. Unfortunately I see that they put rye in it. I absolutely despise rye.
I'm often tempted by various multi-grain products only to discover that one of the grains is rye.
Damn. All the rest sound great. I guess I'll have to start my own company and make multi-grain less
rye products. ;-)

Thank you in advance for any help.

I mix crushed raw oats into cakes and muffins and biscuits to add extra fibre(I substitute a cup of
oats for flour in a 4-cup recipe) - I'm sure you can do the same thing with cooked oatmeal.

I made a fruit slice that involved actually cooking the oatmeal and fruit and then adding flour, and
it was delicious!

Thank you for all the suggestions and helpful replies. - CatinTX
