Oats without milk can be enjoyed by various groups, especially those who prefer dairy-free options, have dietary restrictions, or enjoy oats in other forms. Here are some ways people can enjoy oats without milk:
- Vegans and Dairy-Intolerant Individuals: These groups often avoid dairy so they might prepare oats with water, plant-based milk, or even fruit juices.
- Those Watching Calorie Intake: Using water instead of milk can reduce calories, which can appeal to people aiming to manage their calorie intake.
- People on a Savory Diet: Some enjoy oats prepared in a savoury style with vegetables, herbs, and spices. Common savoury oatmeal additions include sautéed vegetables, eggs, or spices like turmeric and black pepper.
- Backpackers and Campers: Oats with just water are a go-to because water is usually easier to carry or source in outdoor settings.
- Raw Food Enthusiasts: Raw oats soaked overnight in water, juice, or even a fruit puree can be enjoyed without cooking, maintaining the oats’ raw quality.
- Minimalist Eaters: Some people prefer the simplicity of oats with just water or very few added ingredients to appreciate the natural flavour.
To make oats without milk more enjoyable, add toppings like nuts, seeds, fruits, spices (like cinnamon), and natural sweeteners (like honey or maple syrup).
