Are you soaking them for 24 hours? That's actually a mandatory, not optional, step that was disregarded in the Western world because of how fast-paced it is. Everything is instant here. Someone once told me they went to the UK and stayed in a hotel. If you wanted oatmeal for breakfast, you had to notify the kitchen the night before so they could soak the oats.Oats don’t agree with me at all.
It's the phytic acid that bothers most people, including myself. Soaking them completely got rid of the issue. I grind my oats into dust in a coffee grinder, put them in tupperware, add water and soak for 24 hours, and then blend with a banana to make an oat shake. A banana is the only thing that prevents oats from sinking to the bottom. It keeps them suspended and the result is thick hearty shake.
