What do you put in your oatmeal?

NorthCascades

This is a poll. I think most people go with something like cream or honey, but some folks get really creative.

Sabine_Stroehm

Scallions, cheddar and an over easy egg.

AnvilHead

Usually milk and protein powder, sometimes with PB2. Sometimes cinnamon or fruit (berries, peaches, etc.).

kelsium33

A spoon or two of Greek yogurt, fruit, walnuts

Verdenal

Skim milk and sugar. I have a low calorie max so I can't afford to be very creative.

Chef_Barbell

Bacon bits and butter

kami3006

Egg, cinnamon, peanut butter, brown sugar are my usual with some banana on top.

Some days I add protein powder or collagen powder.

earlnabby

Cinnamon and Splenda. I use my Saigon cinnamon since it is best in things that do not get baked

Rocknut53

Cranberries & orange extract or dried blueberries or raisins & cinnamon or dried cherries, all with a little half & half & raw sugar, sometimes a few nuts.

Aaron_K123

blueberries, cinnamon, whole milk and aspartame or brown sugar depending.

MelanieCN77

A little maple syrup goes a long way, and usually blueberries and strawberries or raspberries.

I tried a savoury oatmeal bowl once and my brain could not compute.

GottaBurnEmAll

Greek yogurt, raspberries, and a little splenda.

ljmorgi

Raisins (or dried cranberries), cinnamon, nutmeg, sugar, and milk. That time with the turmeric was an accident. So was the time with the citric acid.

seltzermint555

peanut butter & jelly/jam, always. It's really the only way I like oatmeal.

HokieBrad

shrimp w/ a little green Tabasco

emmamcgarity

Milk, Splenda (Brown sugar blend), cinnamon, and a diced apple or sliced banana mixed in after cooked

Both taste good with butter. 🤷🏼‍♀️

nowine4me

Soy milk, coconut and dried cherries today

Steel-cut oatmeal, diced dried apricots cooked in the oatmeal to soften them, chopped walnuts and a dash or two of cinnamon at the end. I like to sweeten it with sugar-free maple-flavored syrup, or stevia - and a splash of cream to add richness

For breakfast: banana, blueberries, honey, cinammon, chia seeds and unsweetened cacao powder. Everytime I have this for breakfast, it keeps me full for many hours and I dont crave carbs at all.
Breakfast no2: baked oatmeal with apples and cinammon, topped with greek yoghurt and pomegranate seeds.
Lunch: diced turkey and gouda slices with an egg, tomatoea and baby spinach.

R2che

Frozen berries, skimmed milk and half a teaspoon of sugar 😁

SmithsonianEmpress

Brown sugar, blueberries and white chocolate chips

Heidijens123

Homemade jam. I prefer raspberry as it has a stronger flavor but am using strawberry right now. I have it for breakfast every morning.

kbmnurse1

Fresh berries and a scant amount of brown sugar.

RunnerGrl1982

I'm pretty boring. Hehe. I generally use unsweetened vanilla almond milk, butter, and some stevia.

pierinifitness

When I "do" oatmeal, I add one tablespoon of flax meal and a generous sprinkling of cinnamon; nothing else. This combo does me good. Used to add maple syrup but have eliminated that addition.

Lillymoo01

Almond milk, chia seeds, flaked almonds, protein powder, greek yoghurt and a banana.

lynn_glenmont

For savory, generally just salt and pepper, if I'm eating it as a side. If it's my main dish, I'll likely add a fried or poached egg or two, and maybe some sauteed greens (spinach, kale, collards, etc.) or something kimchi-like (If I'm doing cheese in a hot grain, I prefer grits or farina.)

For sweet, the possibilities are endless: fresh, frozen, or dried fruit; applesauce; brown sugar, honey, or molasses; cinnamon; protein powder; nuts, including shredded coconut; vanilla or other extracts ...

CorneliusPhoton

I cook it with chia seeds in milk or coconut milk, then add cinnamon, frozen blueberries or banana, and when it has cooled it off a bit, I add egg white protein powder. I sometimes add almond butter or just have some nuts on the side.

AnnPT77

Brace yourself for a long list: Mixed berries, blackstrap molasses, walnuts, milled flax seed, hemp seed, cinnamon, Greek yogurt.

It's the heart of my day, breakfast or lunch nearly every day. Love my oatmeal (thick rolled oats, water - not packets)!
