What do you eat with oatmeal?

neveragain84

Fruit, cinnamon, a little honey or maple syrup is good too. You could also add some to some Greek yogurt for a little texture.

Mix a little bit of dry pudding mix (I like pistachio) into cooked oatmeal. You'll thank me later.

butter and brown sugar...that's it...and only that.

Cinnamon protein powder. Sometimes more things like greek yougurt along with the protein powder if I want to make overnight oats and eat them cold the next day.

peanut butter mixed through it xxxxxx

I put Greek yogurt vanilla and chocolate protein powder in mine and I love it.

The best oatmeal you have ever had, is dessert oatmeal. It's just oatmeal, peanut butter, and a square of dark chocolate with sea salt.

I also add cranberries, apples and almonds to oatmeal and I've done apple cinnamon too.

I'm not a big fan of the way oatmeal heats up a lot of fruits, especially berries, so I stay away from those ideas. You could also google "overnight oats" people make them all the time and there's tons of awesome recipes out there.

For sweet, I just alternate layers of oats, plain Greek yogurt, and berries, with maybe a scoop of vanilla protein powder and then pour in almond milk to cover.
For savory, I layer oats, yogurt, shredded cheese, spices, and maybe a scoop of ground flax or chia seed and cover with milk.

Speaking of savory oats, treat it as you would rice, and be creative with your additions:

Also, someone already said this, but it bears repeating: you don't need oatmeal AND toast - especially if you are ALSO adding fruit and/or honey/sugar/syrup to the mix. That is just a carb crash waiting to happen. Add protein and you will be fine.

Splenda, a pinch of salt, and coca powder(only 10 cals per table spoon and you need like half of one) I use dark.. Maybe half water half unsweetand almond milk?
I've started adding teaspoon or two of flax (tasteless) maybe a teaspoon of chia

Just ordered some custom oatmeal from myoatmeal.com Getting some german chocolate cake and some creme brulet oatmeals!

I like a savory oatmeal. I love to cook up fresh chicken sausage with onions and kale and eat that with oatmeal. Yum!

I will have to try this. Sounds great.

I add PB2 to increase the protein and give it the peanut butter taste. I use Weight Control Oatmeal that is maple flavored. So between the oatmeal and the PB2 it taste like a Peanut Butter No Bake Cookie! 205 calories and 11 grams protein.

I make oatmeal raisin cookies with mine.

Otherwise, any fruit added is good.


I think I'll try the pumpkin puree this fall! That sounds really good!

My most recent oatmeal favourite was oatmeal cooked with a pinch of salt, a little dash of milk with the water, and also a small dash of cinnamon. When cooked I would add a dollop of homemade apple sauce, a grated apple, a small handful of chopped dried cranberries, and a tiny bit of maple syrup just to sweeten it to my taste.

Previous favourite toppings/ flavours were blueberries and chopped/ flaked almonds, with a little maple syrup for sweetness.

Peanut butter also works very well, as weird as that sounds.

Chopped/ ground seeds can be a good addition too, and I used to make my own mix by adding sunflower, pumpkin, flax and hemp seed together, and pulsing in a food processor until ground up. A very easy way to make your own seed porridge, and when doing so, why not add some ground almond in there also

These days I just eat yoghurt, berries, nuts and seeds for breakfast, due to low-carbing it, but when I add back oats to my diet, I will probably add them to my current breakfast as mentioned, as well as to start exploring with bircher muesli/ overnight oats variations

I like to microwave 1/2 cup applesauce with 1/2 cup water for 1 minute, then add 1/2 cup lite cinnamon applesauce.

Canned pumpkin with a tablespoon of light cream cheese sounds like I need to go grocery shopping and pick some up!

I put banana or blueberries in sometimes, but only after I have finished cooking it.

butter and brown sugar...that's it...and only that.

I second this! Or Peanut butter. There's always room for peanut butter in everything!

LAT1963

Everything else that goes into cookies...?

MMarvelous

I use steel cut oats and will cook it in just water in my slow cooker. I add walnuts/brown sugar or blueberries/brown sugar. If I can find peaches I will do that too.

Zerodette

Swiss oatmeal- I stir uncooked oats into yogurt and keep it in the fridge overnight. In the morning I stir in nuts, berries, fruit or eat it as-is.

Joreanasaurous

A huge glob of cookie butter. mmmm

This morning I had oatmeal with some sunflower seed kernels and a pear that I caramelized in some butter, brown sugar, and lemon juice. So yummy!

Have you tried making chai tea oatmeal? (you don't even need to buy expensive teabags, it's just tea, milk, honey and some spices - google it)

I cook the oatmeal in it then add a bit of crushed walnuts and a dusting of cinnamon on top. Heaven on earth.

Yum! Must do this this week.

arozeisarozie

This may sound weird, but I'll just add salt and pepper. It makes it more savory.

sueconvery7

I put some sort of sweetner in mine, with about 1/4 cup milk, and some rasins. Sorry for misspelling the last word.

kikityme

Random but...If you run it through the magic bullet or blender it turns into colloidal oatmeal which is amazing for your skin when added to bathwater. No calories!

wannakimmy

Glad I stopped in, some great ideas here.

I've used peanut butter and jelly, any number of fruits, or just a bit of maple syrup. It can be quite filling without toast or egg or anything else.

My Favorite Oatmeal Recipe I created; Pina Colada Oatmeal

1/4 cup Steel Oats OR 1/2 cup Old Fashion Oats
My boil liquid is 1/2 100% pure Pineapple Juice and 1/2 Vanilla Coconut Milk (you'd use 1/4 cup each for Steel Oats OR 1/2 cup each for Old Fashion Oats)
Once it's ALMOST done, I stir in 1/2 to 1 whole scoop of Vanilla Protein Powder (depending on what I'm craving/needing), I also stir in 1/2 cup of diced (or crushed Pineapple in 100% juice if you're using canned) and 1/4 tsp cinnamon
I top it with 2 Tbsp of golden toasted Coconut Shreds and 2 Tbsp of crushed Walnuts OR sliced Almonds

My Kids and husband LOVE this meal!!

I've also done this recipe as an OOIAJ (Overnight Oats in a Jar)

In a tupperware Or Mason jar (or even a recently emptied PB jar, woohoo for recycling!) add the following:

1/4 cup Old Fashioned Oats
1/4 cup Vanilla Coconut Milk
1/4 cup (or 4 Tbsp) of Pineapple or Pina Colada flavored 0% Fat Greek Yogurt
1/4 cup diced Pineapple

Shake it up to mix and let it sit in the fridge overnight

When you're ready to eat; top with a Tbsp of toasted Coconut Shreds and chopped nuts

If you don't like this idea, add me if you'd like, I have a TON more Oatmeal/OOIAJ recipes (I write recipes for a living)

If they're plain, unflavored oats you can also use them for baking cookies, brownies, cakes, etc.

Angee_B

I use them in my turkey meatloaf nd meatballs...
