    Some combination of:
    Blueberries
    Cream
    Brown sugar
    Protein powder
    Peaches
    Walnuts
    PB2

    I like most of these. I also enjoy applesauce for sweetener, and sometimes add almonds.

    What protein powders do folks recommend to add to oatmeal? Looking for something with no Stevia or artificial sweetners.

    I cook steel cut oats, ( 1 cup of dry oats) with 2 tablespoons of honey, 1 tablespoon of cinnamon (Vietnamese 'cause the wife thinks it's better tasting) and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract. THEN when it is cooked... for a single serving (1/2 cup cooked) I add 1 scoop whey, 1/4 cup mixed berries (Costco), 1/4 cup no fat plain Greek yogurt, 1/4 cup crushed mix of walnuts and pecans.

    Talking about porridge, rather than oatmeal, but one or more of banana, cinnamon, honey, prunes, Apple purée, jam (in a real nursery breakfast mood)!

    What is the difference between porridge and oatmeal? I had looked it up at an American food site, and it indicated that they are the same. ??? Thank you!

    I'm pretty sure porridge is just what we in the UK call oatmeal! That's always been my understanding anyway - hot oats made with water or milk...

    I always have a box or two of frozen berries in the freezer (usually blueberries and raspberries) which I like to stew with a little sweetener and swirl through my porridge ☺ I sometimes add some fat free vanilla yogurt too to cut through the tartness of the berries! Mmm I want porridge now

    I make porridges for breakfast often ... sometimes they are made of oatmeal, and other times from other grains.

    When I do oatmeal, I like to whisk in one egg into the water before I add the oatmeal ... I found this extra protein and fat from the egg keep me full longer. When I have oatmeal made just on water, I am hungry again within 2 hours and don't like that response; with the egg in it I'm good for closer to 4 hours.

    Another additive to my oatmeal is 1/2 cup of berries, or another fruit and a 2 tablespoon walnuts pieces, and 1/2-1 teaspoon cinnamon (stir in after it's done cooking).

    For reducing my cholesterol, I use 1/2 cup old fashioned oatmeal, 2 Tbsp ground golden flax seed, 1 Tbsp Craisins & 1-1/4 cup water. Microwave ~2 mins then add 1 Tbsp coconut oil & 1 Tbsp chia seeds. Top with 1/4 cup lowfat milk. Sometimes I add a little vanilla or almond extract before cooking. Good & filling, provides lots of energy!

    I make mine with unsweetened light soya milk (prefer the taste and don't do well with a lot of milk, anyhow) and chop a banana into it. I sometimes add a few blueberries or some chopped up strawberry and once resorted to a chopped up doughnut peach when my last banana had gone bad - which was surprisingly lovely.

    Prunes also nice. Dark chocolate melted into it is delicious but doesn't agree with me. Raisins or sultanas work at a pinch.

    I don't add sugar or honey because I end up with an almighty 10am sugar crash, if I do.
