    Why do so many people eat oatmeal with water....? Like what...? This really boggles my mind.

    becasue it is healthier than having milk in it.

    add water to make mixture how you like then zap it in the microwave.

    Skim milk is not bad for you (some argue that even fatty milk is healthy for you, but that's another argument). I can bet you milk is definitely healthier than nuking it though. xD

    Everything is healthy for you, as long IFYM. And "nuking" it merely heats up water molecules. It's no less "safe" than stovetop cooking.

    You don't have to cook oatmeal on the stove. I use regular old fashioned rolled oats and do it in the microwave for 90 seconds (I like my oatmeal with texture). No pot to clean and much faster.

    If you have a Costco near you (and are a member), Coach's Oats are really good. They have the steel cut texture, but you can cook them up on your stove in 5 min. I usually cook a big pot (4 cups water, 1 1/3 cups oats) and save the extra in the fridge to warm up over the rest of the week. It warms up really well in the micro.

    ooh, those sound good! I make an egg/banana pancake-I wonder what would happen if I added oats to it, going to try tomorrow :)

    I love oatmeal I make steel cut oats think the texture is way better than the instant I make a big pot once a week and put the oatmeal in two serving containers and refridgerate. Makes about 10 containers or 20 servings. So i just take one container to work empty on a plate microwave and add I a serving of 2percent fage yogurt in it and mix it up. Get my carbs, protein and fats all in one meal. I use John McCain steel cut oats. If you really want variety check out this site I came across it here in the forums I am only passing along information www.MyOatmeal.com.

    Add 1-2 tbsp applesauce or mashed banana
    cinnamon, or a few dark choc chips
    Heat in small fry pan. Makes one big filling pancake!
