Bought some chia seeds, thinking of throwing them in my oatmeal in the morning. Can I just throw them in raw? Or am I supposed to cook them? (or do something else with them)

Cooking is not necessary.

I mix em with frozen fruit and yogurt. You can also soak a quarter cup or so in half a cup of water and use the resulting goo as part of your wet ingredients in bread or pancakes etc

I like to take a quarter cup of chia, a quarter cup of lime juice, and two tablespoons of sugar in a pint or so of water to use as a hydration beverage post exercise or when it's hot out

I am trying to add them to oatmeal, but I think what I'm going to do is soak a bit in water as you say, and then try mixing that gel into the oatmeal. Hopefully that all tastes okay

Should be fine! Compared to flax, chia is pretty neutral tasting.
