who eats oatmeal for breakfast?

jeffazi

Eat it almost every day (2 packs) with low-fat milk and then I add my eggs/egg whites to it!!! Tastes great and very filling!!

Interesting. Do you add the egg whites uncooked and let them cook with the oatmeal?

I have been eating 1/2 cup Quaker oats everyday since I began MFP. I like it simple- I put in 1 tablesoon raisins, sprinkle of cinnamon and cook for 2 mins in the microwave. I then add 1 packet of splenda.

I eat oatmeal like 3 times or so a week....you can add all sorts of great things because it's such a neutral base! I make mine the old fashion way on the stove top and add things like shredded apple and cinnamon sticks or mashed banana with ground almonds and vanilla, I almost always throw a couple raisons in because I love the tangy/ sweetness they give to the bowl. Experiment, you'll be hard pressed to come up with a combo that doesn't work!!

I eat oatmeal most days. I know she is isnt popular here but I love the Hungry Girl's oatmeal recipes.

Most days I eat my oatmeal with 3/4 c unsweetened vanilla almond milk, 1 tbsp of chia seed, 2 packs of splenda and 1/4 of sugar free

log cabin syrup. Some days I add blackberries, strawberries or bananas. Gerber makes freeze dried fruit pieces that are really good

and only 25 calories for 1/4 cup!

Gonna have to try peanut butter, that sounds good.

I just finished my oatmeal for today and it had a little brown sugar and dried blueberries. So yummy!!

I buy the Quaker weight control Maple and Brown sugar packets and micro wave them with water.

bumping this thread....I love oatmeal...and am looking for different ways to spice it up!!

beckyinma

I eat it a lot, usually the lower sugar packets, with some dried cranberries mixed in. Love the stuff.

Someone just put this post up - looks like a great way to add some creativity to your oats - pancake them!

I eat oatmeal about half the time. I add blueberries and walnuts. Mmmmm...

debussyschild

I eat it almost every day I prefer rolled oats, too. Instant ones tend to get really sticky/goopy, in my opinion. Love putting bananas and peanut butter in my oatmeal. IT'S DELICIOUS! So are raisins, cinnamon, walnuts, apples... stuff like that. To sweeten, I use splenda.

I occasionally have it for breakfast on the weekends. I mix uncooked old fashioned (rolled) oats with pb and a little maple syrup. I've tried almond butter and soynut butter but neither were as good as pb.

I eat it every day-yum!!

I add, 1 tsp of brown sugar apple and raisins to 1/2 cup of skim milk.

Sometimes I do. I boil the water, throw in some vanilla protein powder, give it a good whisk, throw in the oatmeal, throw in a chopped up pear and whisk again. Then it's bowl time. I chop up a piece of crystallized ginger, throw it on top, and munch.

Me me me me me!! I LOVEEEE instant oatmeal.

I have a Kuerig coffee machine. So easy to throw a pack of oatmeal into a bowl, set my Kuerig it to the smallest cup size for hot water and just stir. So easy, not as many calories as a LOT of things for breakfast

I eat oatmeal 3 x week - Organic Steel Cut Oats - and only add 1 Tbsp of Pure Maple Syrup to the cooking water.

Cberg9

1 cup of quick cooking oats
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup canned coconut milk
teaspoon of honey
sometimes dried fruit/nut mixture
pop it in the mic for 2:00

To me it ends up having the consistency of rice pudding which I love...and has a nice coconut flavor with out being too sweet.
Also by buying the large container of oats I can make this in large batches and divide among tupperware for later in the week!

dragonfly1570

I eat it almost every day! I use 1/2c milk and 1/2c water to cook it, then add a splash of milk a 2 tsp sugar. Sometimes I make toast with a little butter to dip in it!

AmandaLou4319

Pumpkin is my new favorite addition to oatmeal. I buy it canned (not the pie filling!). Its so yummy!

davidlbass

Quaker old fashioned oats with 3 packets of Splenda, 1/4 cup milk and 1 tablespoon margarine.

Pangui

I love oatmeal. Steel cut is the best. I keep it simple and mix in pumpkin pie spice and a half banana sliced. I sweeten it just a tad with either brown sugar or a small amount of Stevia. I make a large enough batch to last a couple more days. On the days that I reheat it, I add almond milk to adjust the consistency.

mazaaron

i just add sal!t !! ( and milk of course)

rileamoyer

I make my own granola with oatmeal as it's base, between it and regular old fashioned oats, probably 5 days a week, sometimes 6. My granola contains, flax, pumpkin, sunflower, sesame seeds, I vary between dates, craisins, walnuts or almonds. On regular oatmeal I add lots of different things, but my favorite is walnuts and brwn sugar.

LaurieEReid

McCann's steel cut made in the slow cooker overnight. (Google slow cooker oatmeal.) I add:
5 roasted unsalted almonds
1/3 cup frozen blueberries
3 slices of frozen peach
1/2 skim milk

Yummy!

Sometimes I slice half a banana instead of the frozen fruit if the bananas are getting too brown.

jnance82

I eat it for breakfact occassionally and I put cinnamon and equal in mine.

I usually have instant oatmeal (but I am going to give steel-cut oats a try soon). My favourite thing to put in is cranberry trail mix, but today I put in almonds and raspberries. Yum!

jaylu

every single day i look forward to waking uo to it with a big spoonful of vanilla yogurt on top yum!!

kseltzer

I eat steel cut oats for breakfast every morning. I usually add cinnamon, splenda, and a half cup of pumpkin. I warm it in the microwave and it's so yummy and fills me up. I also have a half cup of plain greek yogurt to get some protein in, too!

I eat oatmea almost everyday. I like it with cinnamon and sliced almonds or a sliced banana.

I love oatmeal, and I like to keep it simple -- milk and a couple teaspoons of sugar.
