I love oatmeal in the morning. Especially in the winter. Agave, Stevia, or Maple Syrup only, but after reading all these great ideas I see I need to get more creative with my oatmeal.

I just recently discovered red pears. They're awesome. I put walnuts in my oatmeal - always. And then I add either bananas, a pear, or some apples and I cook that into it. Then I top it with cinnamon. I love that stuff.

I put roasted sunflower seeds, hemp hearts, some times chia seeds, maple syrup, blue berries and a splash of almond milk. Love the crunchy sunflower seeds mmmmmmm

Cook 3/4 cup oatmeal and 1.5 cups of water on the stove until it starts to soften. Whip 2 egg whites with a splash of vanilla and add it to the oatmeal. Cook for at least 5 minutes on medium heat until the eggs are cooked through. Serve over a sliced banana, and top with brown sugar.

This oatmeal keeps me full for HOURS!

Have you tried amaranth? I try to switch that up with oatmeal sometimes. It's great with fresh blueberries, a bit of earth balance and agave, and it is super good for you. It takes a while to make, so I make a big batch and reheat for breakfast.

A lot of yummy ideas here.

I eat mine the boring way: just plain oatmeal with splenda. I like mine on the thinner side. I used to put butter and sugar in it before going the healthy route.

Love oatmeal and have started eating it every morning. I like it with a bit of brown sugar and then add a snack size peaches in light syrup. The peaches get warm and it is Yummy!

bumpity! so many good ideas!

I like mine with just vanilla or chocolate almond milk and a bit of stevia. On days when I am not counting calories I like to use agave nectar or brown rice syrup to sweeten and dried fruit (usually raisins) sometimes I add nuts.

My favorite thing is to add a small amount of egg nog (Christmas time of course). Also, mostly every day I'll add craisins and chopped peacans. Yum

I like savory oatmeal. So I usually put soy sauce to taste and top it with chopped up green onions and a poached egg. If I have it sweet, I toss in half a handful or raisins, cinnamon, vanilla extract and soymilk.

Hi,
I am an oatmeal every morning girl too. I bring the regular oatmeal to a boit then cook it on medium for 4 min. then add 1/4 cup fresh blueberries and cook for another 2 minutes. with the sweetness of the blueberries you don't need sugar. Yummy!

my new favorite oatmeal idea is Strawberries & Creme oatmeal (not that bad for you) with a handful of dried cranberries and about 10 glazed pecans. It makes it thick, slightly sweet and much more hearty and fortified. Love it that way.

Sometimes I also add some sliced bananas on top of the oatmeal when i make it like i mentioned above.

Bump!!!

I love it sweet, but I also recently started eating it with savory things! This morning I made it with mushrooms garlic and salt. It was to die for!

I've always wondered about that.

What do you guys/gals use for the liquid? I use soymilk but I'm thinking about switching to water to I can free up some calories for flavoring.

Fresh blueberries, strawberries, coconut, almonds, flax, whey, chia seeds and golden raisins. Yummy !

Almond butter, pumpkin, and berries are my favorite toppings. So good!

It bumps the thread back up, usually to keep it trending. Plus people use it to bookmark because whenever you post on a topic it shows on your profile.

Raisins and honey are my favorite. I usually put tons and tons of honey in it, I've got to start practicing moderation.

Old fashioned oatmeal with raisins, chopped walnuts, 2 Splendas, 1 tsp of maple extract and light vanilla almond milk! So totally delish!
