Yes. Look for "copos de avena" in any grocery store. It's your standard rolled oats.
In France the nearest thing available to rolled oats is Quaker Oats. This is what I use when I run out of porridge when traveling in France. Not as nice as our own stuff but it does the job.
Now that is something I will have to try!This is good to know. I too love my porridge (especially with brownies broken up into it) and was wondering whether or not to take some with me in September. I will be now.
That should work if you are using Quick Oat Meal, may work the rolled oats.. I prefer Steel Cut/Irish Oat Meal with brown sugar and milkI'm wondering if the "cook in the thermos" method would work? Half a cup of rolled oats into the thermos flask, a pinch of salt (I have Scottish ancestry), pour in half a cup of boiling water, seal, open in an hour and see if it is done. Anyone tried it?
Hi Kanga, Have you tried "cook-in-the-bowl"? Raw oatmeal, soya milk, yoghurt, fruit. I suppose it's called muesli or some such. CHEWY all right! I pretend I'm a barnyard animal.

Cool, thanks.McCann's has a quick soak method of cooking their oatmeal.

Oat Meal
I'm currently eating so many oats I whinnied the other morning.
My mother (also born in Edinburgh) used the same method.My father (born in Edinburgh) soaked oatmeal overnight
The idea of walking the Camino with a sack of oats brought to mind accounts of young 18c and 19c Scottish scholars being sent off to university with a huge sack of oats to get them through term.
Works really well but I leave it over night!I'm wondering if the "cook in the thermos" method would work? Half a cup of rolled oats into the thermos flask, a pinch of salt (I have Scottish ancestry), pour in half a cup of boiling water, seal, open in an hour and see if it is done. Anyone tried it?
Alas, not practical for me to prepare on the Camino.
My breakfast here at home every morning consists of 3/4 cup raw oats, some plain yogurt, some milk, a banana, 1/2 an apple and a mix of blueberries and strawberries. Dump in blender and blend for a couple of minutes or so until smooth.
I love it and it gives me energy all morning. Alas, not practical for me to prepare on the Camino. I make do when I can and take up the slack with lots of fruit in the morning.

Ha ha, yeah that would be nice.If you bring the blender I will bring the rolled oats.
I keep the bananas, blueberries and strawberries frozen and that gives it a cold smoothie type taste and the oats add bulk.Love it!!
That would be my dream Camino brekkie (minus the blending)........
Will be trying this tomorrow!My breakfast here at home every morning consists of 3/4 cup raw oats, some plain yogurt, some milk, a banana, 1/2 an apple and a mix of blueberries and strawberries. Dump in blender and blend for a couple of minutes or so until smooth.

13 grams of protein per 100 grams. I call that nutritional value. The equivalent of 2 eggs.Growing up Irish and in turn punishing my children with such gruel ...I can see no reason to take it on vacation. As they say "When in Rome" or in this case "when in Spain". I allow myself to count on a daily cup of tea but rolled oats really has no nutrional value. Well worth its weight on my back anyways...wait, microwave?

Not to mention the soluble fibre!!Growing up Irish and in turn punishing my children with such gruel ...I can see no reason to take it on vacation.

Works every time. And I put a plate over the bowl once I've added the boiling water. Keeps the heat in thus increasing the "cooking" time. Haven't tried this with quick cook oats but imagine it would work within 15 minutes and result in porridge that was still warm.I know this is an old thread but how amazing to see so many responses. I make overnight oats almost everyday and it's so easy that I thought of doing the same on my 1st CF. (Partly saving money and also I cannot imagine tostadas every morning appealing - sorry)
Mine is recipe is pretty boring... rolled oats, boiling water, some ground cinnamon, honey and left overnight. Next morning top with some cut apples or blueberries and if possible yoghurt or milk (soy in my case).
Thank you for all the valuable answers and suggestions.
