    I'm always s the strange one... I cook with water with minced garlic in.. When done stir in sharp cheddar cheese and a little butter, salt and pepper. Lasts for hours.

    It's funny how oatmeal because associated with sweetness, whether it's those flavor instant packets, or just adding brown sugar.

    But really, it's a grain ... no reason for oats to be sweet more than savory any more than there'd be reasoning for rice or corn or flour or even potatoes to be sweet.

    It's a neutral base and the flavor profile comes from what you add.

    Speaking of making oatmeal awesome, add peanut butter. (actually don't, because it tastes so good you'll become addicted and completely blow your calories :))

    Loving some of these, great ideas.

    My mom used to toss oats into her soups. Along with or in lieu of barley or other grains.

    I do a tbsp of peanut butter mixed in with 100% cocoa baker's chocolate pieces. Mixed up, SO GOOD. I also make my oats with water.

    Agree there is no reason not to have it savoury if you prefer, after all oatcakes go great with jam or with marmite.

    I once added what I thought was a generous sprinkling of cinnamon to my porridge.

    Was three spoons into it before I realised I had picked up cayenne pepper by mistake. My mouth was on fire :-(

    May have to try marmite though, I love the stuff :-)
