Pretty basic but my go to is:
100g oats
30g raisins
Cinnamon
Pinch of salt
Just add boiling water and simmer down.

Small yogurt glass pots. I mix it in a mixing bowl, and then pour it into the pots. If it’s too runny, put less liquid, more oats, and/or more chia.

Put all ingredients into a mason jar (16oz), shake vigorously, then store in refrigerator overnight. Warm up in microwave in the morning. If there is too much water, drain a bit off the top before warming.
Coconut flour is fantastic for thickening

(this is a double recipe, gives 8 ex-yogurt jars)
3 cups almond milk
1 1/3 cups oats (I err on the high side - 1.5 cups is more like it)
4 tablespoons chia (again I err on the high side - 5 is more like it)
3 tablespoons honey (or maple syrup)
1 teaspoon vanilla
4 tablespoons dried cranberries (never measured those, a big handful is what really happens)
It all comes down to 1 part liquid, 0,5 part oats, 0,1 part chia.

I have one go-to for sweet and one savory.
Sweet: 40 g oats, 10 g cocoa powder, salt | Add boiling water and bake for 5-10 min. Mix in blueberries, top with peanut butter and sliced bananas.
Savory: Based on: https://www.thefullhelping.com/savory-steel-cut-oatmeal/ | I make the oats with broth and miso paste, dish out my portion, add sautéed mushrooms and protein (usually chicken or a fried egg). Top with chopped green onions.

You have plenty answers but I’ll add 1 to 1 ratio of dry ingredients to wet (liquid) for overnight oats
Leftovers Oatmeal, or Porridge as we call it in the UK, is lovely as a desert or light supper when mixed cold with rice pudding in a 50:50 mix. I make the Porridge with water in a pan cooking with water only for 10 minutes, before adding almond milk for the last 5 minutes of cooking.
Then add honey, raisins or chopped dates, milled linseed for omega 3, cinnamon and a little ground ginger.

Bit of a different recipe here, but have you guys tried porridge bread?! Sounds ridiculous but it is probably the best onboard food I take with me these days on longer rides. I have it early on as my “denser” food that I eat within the first few hours of a ride before I move to Cliff bars and gels etc.
Nothing really to it apart from oats and Greek yoghurt. As a Dad who tries to make healthy snacks for his kids, I stumbled across this one to give to my kids as a post nap snack. Turns out to be a great cycling snack to wrap up a slice or two in a plastic snap lock bag and put in the back of the jersey pocket. It is quite a bland recipe so I add some honey or maple syrup to it to sweeten it up a bit and add some sugar to the recipe (for me, not for the kids). I’m usually baking 2-3 loaves a week. Has been a big hit for the kids and also for me on those longer 160km - 220km rides. Check it out!

I made this loaf this morning, it’s lovely and so easy to make. Added some dates and museli into the oats for a bit of variety.

I have a standard and a treat.
Standard:
- 1/2 c Coach’s oats
1/2 c milk
1 c water
salt
while that boils, I combine in a separate bowl
2 egg whites
1 egg
cinnamon
cardamom
When the oatmeal is cooked, I stir in the egg mixture.
Once that is thick, I fold in fruit (apple or blueberries, typically)
5-600 calories.
Okay, for a treat, cook the oatmeal without the egg mixture. Refrigerate. Then, slice it, and “color” a pan with a stick of butter (gives you minimum amount of added butter with all the flavor). Then, FRY THE OATMEAL IN THE BUTTER. It’s amazing. For savory, I add a fried gg and sauteed greens.

Agree with this. I have 60g most mornings (I weigh 60kg) and more like 100g before any rides longer than 3-4hrs
Glad you like it @Raythebike! I thought it was a great little cycling hack that should get out there! Adding in extras like dates, a bit of honey etc is perfect. Adds a bit of variety to it! I like the idea of adding some muesli to the oats. I might try that today when I make up a new loaf.
It’s so easy to pack a few slices in the jersey pocket. It’s been the best nutrition hack on the longer rides! The feeling of getting in whole foods like this early on has been a game changer.

Yeah that’s the same one @rocourteau … with muesli and dates in it for variety which is great. I’ll make a new loaf this morning and try out the muesli addition.
It is that recipe, but with a little variation.
I just made one of those, much nicer than I expected! Thanks!
…but now I think I need to go on another bike ride to burn it all off…
Lately I’ve been eating:
1 cup quick oats
1 scoop vanilla protein powder
sliced or crushed almonds
chia seeds
bit of coconut
maple syrup
I put all of that in a MIR thermal container the night before just to make my morning quicker. Then in the morning fill it up with nearly boiling water, stir it with a spoonful of nut butter and eat it later at work for breakfast.

Made the porriage loaf yesterday as ride food for a 3hr/90k ride today. Slightly adapted the recipe - used 350g porriage oats and 50g granola rather than 400g porriage to add a little crunch plus added sultanas sunflower seeds and some hazlenuts.
Was REALLY nice - great shout - many thanks. I took few slices on my ride and perfect carb heavy ride snacks, totally perfect and very tasty.
Got home to find my wife and 2 boys had finished off most of the rest of the loaf for breakfast as they really loved it as well!!!
