    I've been cooking rolled oats with brown sugar and cinnamon. I mix in vanilla protein powder and add raisins and butter on top. It's seriously delicious and filling!

    I mixed a whisked egg into my oatmeal when I cook it- you can't tell it's there. Add a little brown sugar, fruit (I froze fresh peaches this summer), and pecans.

    I normally just use 1/2 cup oats, 1 cup of water, and a scoop of this:

    If I'm feeling particularly decadent I sometimes stir in a couple of chopped pecans or something.

    I like savory oatmeal more than sweet. People tell me it sounds gross but I like to melt cheese into my oatmeal.
    Salt and pepper with American cheese.
    Chili powder goes good with cheddar in oatmeal.
    Like I said, people say it sounds gross but cheese pairs well with all the other grains so why not oats?

    Peanut butter overnight oats with honey and a splash of vanilla extract-- OMG. Or, light brown sugar, nutmeg, cinnamon and a diced cooked apple-- apple pie oatmeal!

    Raisins, cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice, brown sugar (Splenda blend), chopped walnuts and peanut butter are my favorite add ins. I don't do all of them at once because...calories, but I usually add something to my oatmeal that gives it a little something that is chewy or crunchy. It's a great, quick hot meal!

    For some odd reason I have been eating oatmeal for dinner the past few nights. I just add honey, cinnamon and stevia, but now I have some new ideas to try. Thank you

    This might sound weird, but I put a spicy BBQ dry-rub seasoning on mine. I love it. (I don't like sweet in the morning)

    Here's what I did for my oatmeal this morning:

    40g oats
    1/4 cup canned pumpkin (Used Trader Joe's organic brand)
    20g raisins
    1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
    1/2 tsp cinnamon
    Stevia (I used about 1.5 packets, I put another 1.5 in my coffee)
    about 20g walnuts

    It was delicious. I've been trying to make my own pumpkin spice oatmeal but I think the raisins and walnuts makes it work better.

    I got a weird craving earlier...Made a serving of my peanutbutter out of peanut flour....And stirred in uncooked oats. Was yummy. Helped with my peanutbutter oatmeal cookie craving.

    Was realizing was likely this thread that made me crave that lol.

    Another savory oat recommendation. Steel cut oats take a little more time than rolled oats but taste better and have texture. Try adding bouillon, or even better cook with (home made <3 ) stock instead of water. Pick one or more from list below to try;
    • Sautéed onion, celery, and (hot?)peppers
    • Garlic (roasted?)
    • Sausage
    • Ham
    • Bacon
    • Shrimp
    • Cheese, various types
    If you live in the South think of oats like grits. Think of scrapple, pan haus, or goetta if any of those are familiar.

    My current favorite sweet adds are dried blueberry and dried montmorency tart cherries because I recently bought each in bulk.

    I but cheap plums or rhubarb once a week and stew them gently in the microwave with a small amount of vanilla sugar. Takes 20 mins max. Then decanted into sterilised jars and used with the oatvrab. I also mix some with yoghurt and freeze for low fat puddings...

    I love like steel cut oats. <3
    I brought some to work the other day -- plain with no milk-- only some salt.

    Add some grated parm to this and it's my husband's favorite breakfast.

    Raw honey, cinnamon, vanilla and fresh ground nutmeg are my stand bys. Slightly sweet and the cinnamon and nutmeg make anything taste great
