    Bob’s Red Mill Gluten Free Oatmeal Cups are Enriched with Flax and Chia Seeds

    0
    By Alisa Fleming on June 22, 2016 Dairy-Free Cereal & Granola Reviews, Product Reviews

    I’m not sure what it is, but I simply can’t resist conveniences like Bob’s Red Mill Gluten Free Oatmeal Cups. They’re perfectly portioned, portable, and so darn cute. The size doesn’t make them viable for long-term travel, but for short trips, or just having an easy breakfast at your desk, they are great.

    Tasting Notes for Bob’s Red Mill Gluten Free Oatmeal Cups

    Bob’s Red Mill originally launched these cups in four varieties. They’ve since doubled the line to include eight options, and all of the new ones are organic. I haven’t tried the newer ones, but have included full details on all varieties, along with tasting notes for the ones we’ve tried.

    Overall, Bob’s Red Mill Gluten Free Oatmeal Cups are quite filling and they make breakfast easy. For travel, I think I would stick with the flavored varieties, which are pre-sweetened and “ready to go” in terms of taste. But if you like your oats plain, savory and with a modest level of sodium, then the Classic could be your Holy Grail for any time convenience.

    Classic (also available in Organic)

    This is your basic bowl of sugar-free, whole grain oats, spiked with chia seeds, flax seeds and a good pinch of sea salt. The picture below shows you just how generous Bob is with the add-ins, too. The flax seeds do soften and can be chewed, while the chia seeds add their unique texture once hot water is added. It’s simple, but quick, perfectly portioned, and the flavor I’d be most likely to stock at home. With my full pantry and spice rack at the ready, I can spike it with whatever goodness I’m craving.

    Brown Sugar and Maple

    This impossible to resist flavor doesn’t disappoint. It’s gentle on the taste buds, warm, earthy, and sweetened enough, but not too much. There is also just barely enough salt to balance it all out. It was actually a little hard for me to hold back while these oats cooled!

    Blueberry and Hazelnut

    From the flavor to the texture, there is so much interest going on in this fruity, nutty flavor! It’s packed with natural, sweet dried blueberries that plump up nicely. And in addition to the seedy goodness, there are ample hazelnut chunks. The overall taste is sweet, but not too sweet, with a nice balance of salt. This combination is quite scrumptious and addictive, rivaling the Brown Sugar & Maple as my favorite flavor for a healthy breakfast treat!

    Apple Pieces and Cinnamon

    This flavor soaks up the most water, due to the apple pieces. So be sure to add a little extra if you don’t like your oats too thick. I like them thick, like pictured below. That said, the Apple Pieces & Cinnamon was a like, not a love, for me. There were tons of dried apple pieces, and it isn’t overly sweetened. However, the overall flavor just falls a touch flat. I added a pinch of sea salt, and that did it! Unfortunately, the flavored varieties of these gluten free oatmeal cups already have a fair amount of sodium. Nonetheless, because of the warm fruity vibe, I think a pat of buttery spread or coconut oil would also give this cup some rich apple pie appeal.

    Bob is my hero!

    I’m allergic to dairy, wheat, soy, eggs, most fillers and colors, etc. and so it’s very hard for me to find convenience foods that don’t mess up my stomach. Bob somehow manages to continue making tasty foods and is one of the only companies whose prepackaged foods make me feel better after I eat them. My stomach actually feels happy and I can’t recommend the oatmeal cups enough. They’re a lifesaver for someone who hates to cook but has a picky stomach.

    So Filling!

    I really didn’t expect these to be as filling as they are. Love the hearty grains and the addition of chia and flax. It makes it more interesting texture-wise than plain quick oats. The flavored varieties are delicious and nice when I’m on short trips.
