I’ve been rediscovering the joy of porridge recently. A hearty serving of microwaved oats for breakfast really hits the spot, and I find I’m not really hungry at lunchtime, an amazing feat in my book. Of course, lunchtime is often about an hour and a half after breakfast, but that’s OK.
Tonight, I needed a quick snack, and all that was available was some peanut butter, the oats, and some sundried tomatoes. Putting two and two together, I mentally came up with peanut butter oats with sundried tomato garnish, but I wasn’t game to actually try it. Maybe next time.
Instead, I found another option. An option too terrible for regular weakling humans to contemplate. Contrary to Darryn’s frequently-stated opinion, I’m not a softcock. Oh no. Watch this:
Oats With Pepsi Max
Looking for a tasty snack? Look no further than the fridge for this sweet, tasty and perky dessert.
Ingredients:
- 1/3 cup of Oats (I use Uncle Toby’s Traditional Oats, I like ’em chunky)
- 1/3 cup of Pepsi Max
- 1 capful vanilla flavour (fake) (optional)
Directions:
Pour ingredients into bowl, and mix well with a teaspoon.
Microwave for 1:30 if feeling particularly adventurous (untested).
Sweetening is unnecessary, the Pepsi Max brings the sweet (and then some).
Presentation:
Simply serve and eat, to the amazement and disgust of your girlfriend/partner/significant pet. The more you can maintain a straight face and ignore their squeals of horror, the better.
does that mean that you ate the oats raw? weirdo.
Yeah, but they do get kinda soft and gooey (especially if you microwave them, or just leave the wet goop mix sitting there a while).
