    Steelcut oats 1/3 cup, 62mls of skim milk or low fat which ever you prefer, 2/3 cup of water. Micro for 2 mins, stir then another minute.

    I add 1/2 packet of Nativia (Aust Equiv to Stevia I think) or I add cinnamon, a small sprinkle.
    Or Blueberries, mixed berries etc. the creative gouremet kind are great as you just get a handful and back in the freezer for next time. Could add some honey as well if you like.

    You could make it in to a smoothie with banana when it cools a bit, add milk for a more smoothier smoothie.

    I love mine straight up anyway. Hope these thoughts help.

    Try adding some peanut butter - it makes it creamier.
    I make mine with 2 teaspoons Splenda brown sugar (yes, I know, fake sugar is supposed to be bad but it's yummy and it clearly hasn't hindered my progress) and a tablespoon of creamy peanut butter.

    Coach's Oats. Great texture. Cook with a pinch of salt and cinnamon. Add a dab of lite margarine when it's done, a little brown sugar and some nonfat milk. So good!

    Oh, that's a shame, I just adore oatmeal; I could eat whole mountains or the stuff, hot or cold. You could try adding cinnamon and/or zero calories sweetener. I also like adding berries or bananas. You might try bananas and cinnamon because the cinnamon would cover up the taste and the banana would add a healthy dose of sweetness. You could also try other grains like quinoa or couscous.

    That's good advice, don't eat something you don't like.

    Oatmeal, 1 tbsp peanut butter, sliced banana - put in the microwave about 1min 45 sec, to "melt" some of the banana, stir (I add a bit of granular splenda) a dollop of milk and voila! Fabulous!

    I'm surprised no one's said this yet, but Trader Joe's steel cut oatmeal in the frozen packets is THE BEST. Quaker oats get gluey and weird (in my opinion) and don't taste very good.

    A lot of people avoid steel cut oats because they take a long time to cook correctly on the stovetop. The TJ's oatmeal solves this because it's frozen and microwaves up in 3 minutes. And it actually tastes good. Good luck finding your perfect oatmeal :)

    YUM! Instant steel cut oats - I love these. I have to order these online - totally worth it (IMO)

    For me it's a texture thing. Instant (quick, rolled) oats are like baby food - blech. Old fashioned (instant too, but rolled thicker) at least has some texture - just ok. But steel cut is the best.

    Look for the "low sugar" variety - it's still instant and comes in flavors.

    Do you mean porridge? I love porridge! Make it with milk, add some chia and linseeds for crunch, it's yummy!

    With water it is rank, but with milk it's unbeatable.

    I would also agree with the poster who asked why eat something you hate? I ate peanut butter for a bit after everyone's raving about it on here, but I can't stand it, and now may be allergic to peanuts so that was a totally disastrous exercise! If you don't like it, don't bother.
