Scrambled oats is one of the easy pack foods that may taste great on a cold morning while going to work. However, it makes to think. Instead of just using oatmeal for an ordinary breakfast or even a great breakfast for that matter, what if people use oatmeal to solve the impact of health and household problems? Here are some surprising uses of oatmeal.

Acne

If you are a teenager addled with acne and you prefer eating a Pop-Tart, rather than tossing out the oatmeal mom tries to make you eat for breakfast. Instead, let it cool and then spread it over your problem skin. Let it wait for about 10 minutes and then rinse. This old remedy has some sound logic, according to the research foundation. Oatmeal can remove and absorb oil and bacteria from skin and exfoliate dead skin cells, all of that can fight acne. Tea tree oil and honey are helpful additives too.

Poison ivy or chicken pox

If poison ivy, chicken pox or even sunburn makes you itch like crazy, try an oatmeal bath. Grind oats or oat flour into a fine powder, and then pour it into cheesecloth or an old but clean piece of pantyhose. Tie it around the bathtub faucet and draw a tepid bath and periodically squeeze the water into the tub or rub the pouch straight on the itchy skin.

Stress

You do not need to get poison ivy to have an excuse for an oatmeal bath. Experts suggest adding 1 cup of milk, 2 cups of oats and 1 tbsp of honey to the bath to moisturize the skin and relax the body. You can also use scented oils in a ground oatmeal pouch, as described in the chicken pox paragraph above.

Diet helper

Replace all flour with homemade oat flour by grinding oats in a processor for baking pancakes, cookies and quick breads. You get two times more fiber so you feel fuller with fewer calories.

General skin problems

You can also make oatmeal scrub or oatmeal soap and, of course, pricey commercial oatmeal skin products are also available for tackling other skin problems. An option is to grind two tbsp of oatmeal into a powder in a blender. Then add a tsp of baking soda and enough water to make a thick paste. Spread on a clean, dry face and rinse after 15 minutes. It is recommended doing a patch test first, as your skin can be sensitive to the baking soda.

Exhaustion

Oatmeal is not just good for ailing skin. You can make a rejuvenating and soothing facial mask right in your own kitchen. One digest book offers the following recipe: Blend a half cup hot water with 1/3 cup oatmeal for three or four minutes, then add two tbsp each plain honey and yogurt, plus an egg white. Spread thinly on your face, then relax for 15 minutes and rinse with warm water.

Exercise booster

Eat some oatmeal pancakes for a better training. Do not believe it? Researchers have found that oatmeal boosts endurance if eaten about two hours before workout. Oats trigger your body to burn fat more quickly for fueling muscles.

Living Healthy.

^^ That is almost completely the reverse of how I make it!

Put 2 handfuls dried fruit in the pan - chopped dates, bananas, sultanas all work well.
Add about 1tsp cinnamon powder and some salt.
Pour boiling water from the kettle over it all. Leave for at least 15 minutes. (Go make wudhu and pray fajr, in shaa Allah :) )
Add oats, about 4-6 handfuls, and some more water if needed, but not too much - it should be a little runny just now.
Bring to boil, turn down heat and simmer for about 5 mins, stirring often. It should become thick and gloopy.
Put into a bowl and leave to firm up for 1-2 minutes.
If you added less fruit at the beginning, you can add fresh fruits now - banana, apple, different berries even.
It is good to eat as it is, and is already sweet from the fruit. You can add more sugar/syrup/honey maybe and milk.
I just need a trick to clean the pan easily! Enjoy..

I eat Steel cut oats in the morning for suhur. It is the best : ) The other oats like the ones in the picture are not as healthy. Thats because they are more processed so when you eat it, you digest it quicker (has higher glycemic value).

I tend to roast / brown them a bit in the pot before adding milk. :) makes it more yummy

^^ That´s same also with different kind of flours and rice - wholegrain flour and wholegrain rice (brown rice) are better and healthier. Also, if you want a lower glycemic index, do not cook porridge, but eat the oat flakes raw (like musli) with soya milk, milk, yogurt. If you want to add some sweetness, add fruit or berries. dried or fresh or use honey.

Steel cut oats should not be eaten raw. It would be bad for you because they are very hard :)
Rolled oats are different, because they are steamed and flattened. Those are normally used in muesli and granola mixes etc.
