    As it cooks I add a small, sliced banana and whisk it. Then I add a little vanilla, cinnamon, a sprinkle of chopped walnuts, and 1 teaspoon of brown sugar. It's like banana nut bread oatmeal.


    This sounds delicious. How many calories does that use in a day though?

    Between 240-400 depending on how much oats you use, how large the banana is, and whether or not you use almond milk, nonfat milk, or milk with fat.

    I cut up a peeled apple, sprinkle cinnamon on it and cook in the microwave for 3 1/2 minutes. I add it to the oatmeal as it's cooking near the end. My son loves it, too.

    My husband and I eat this every morning and never get tired of it since it keeps us full until lunch:

    1/2 cup rolled oats
    1/2 cup some sort of berry (mostly strawberries or blueberries)
    1/2 banana
    1/8 cup raisins
    1/8 cup chopped walnuts

    SO YUMMY!

    I eat steel oats with protein powder, cinnamon and sometimes a teaspoon of peanut butter. I don't add sugar to anything anymore.

    There is nothing wrong with steel cut oatmeal...

    I like to add bananas, chopped walnuts, and a little unrefined honey

    I also like to sometimes add dried fruits, especially a mix of dried blueberries, cherries, and strawberries. I always like to add some type of nuts whether is be walnuts, hazelnuts,or pistachios to add some protein and healthy fats.
