Review: Coach’s Oats
OMG! I love, love, love Coach’s Oats. Gotta write a review on these oats!
I got turned onto these by a fellow figure competitor now WNBF pro! Michele X Coach’s oats are the discovery of Coach Lynn Rogers, a track coach at Cal State Fullerton. He experimented in his kitchen and came up with a patented process that involved toasting whole oat groats in the oven before grinding them.
In my area I haven’t been able to find these in any stores so I ordered them online at URL: http://www.coachsoats.com/ I purchased two large resealable 48-oz bags for $8.50. Shipping cost me another 10.74 (UPS ground). I wasn’t too happy about that but I was eager to try the oats so I paid it.
These are 100% wholegrain oats. Their texture reminds me very much of steel-cut oats but they are not steel-cut oats. You can prep them on the stove top and in the microwave. I use the microwave method and add water to produce the thick consistency I like. The one trick if you are microwaving is BE SURE to use a very large container as the oats tend to bubble up and over the edge of the mug or bowl if you don’t use a large enough contrainer. The manufacturer actually warns you about this. I usually prep about 30 g with about 1/2-c water in a large mug on high in about 1.5-min (I usually heat them for 1 min, allow the oats to rest briefly, and then heat them for an additional 30-s. In terms of flavor these oats are simply outstanding. These aren’t flavorless Quaker oats my friend! These oats have a delightful nutty flavor and a chewy texture to them that truly satisfies. They are in the words of Tony the Tiger: “GERRRREATTT!!!”
