Google: Steel oats with peaches and blueberries, it's a recipe by Danica's Daily, it is a Weight Watchers recipe but it is AMAZING and very filling.

I'm loving this recipe lately.

I sub an extra apple instead of applesauce, and I leave out the nutmeg, just for taste. I use Coffeemate Cinnamon Vanilla creamer.

It clocks in at 209 per serving!

I cook steel cut oats in a crock pot overnight. This way we can wake-up to a warm breakfast without having to cook in the morning. I usually put the leftovers in the fridge and we eat them over the next few days. If you haven't had steel cut oats, they have a chewer textures than quick or old fashion, so they hold-up better for leftovers.

I usually add a little milk, cinnamon, vanilla, and sometimes fruit.

Apple Cinnamon
- 1 Serving Old Fashioned Oats, 1 Serving Unsweetened Apple Sauce, Pinch Cinnamon or Apple Pie Spice

Fill-you-up (a little extra protein & fiber in this one)
- 1 Serving Old Fashioned Oats, 1 Serving Toasted Wheat Germ, any spices or 0 cal sweetener you like

Chai Spice ( a little higher calorie)
- Cook oats with milk & a little vanilla extract, season with a pinch of ginger, ground cloves, cinnamon, and ground cardamom, sweeten any way you like, though honey is pretty good
- add toasted slivered almonds and/or raisins for texture

The baked oatmeal with blueberries and banana recipe on skinny taste is AWESOME

I use Quaker whole oats. And make it a few different ways:

*Uncooked in chocolate milk
*Cooked in water with frozen blue berries
*Cooked with honey
*Cooked with butter and brown sugar

I find that if I eat oatmeal in the morning I have sustained energy all day long, so I feel it is better to add flavor by adding sugar or butter and eat it then to not like it and skip it.

I use old fashioned.

I'm not a huge oatmeal fan normally - but I AM a sweets fan.
So I've been using oatmeal to get my sweet fixes

Basically oatmeal + water + pinch of salt + splenda/honey/sugar whatever + sugar/fat free pudding mix + vanilla to taste
I mix in about two tablespoons, give or take (go by taste of the mix)
And microwave!

My favorites are currently butterscotch & chocolate. (The chocolate reminds me of brownie batter!)

One of my favorite is to add banana, low-fat peanut butter, chopped almonds, and agave syrup. I usually make 2 servings - use 1 cup of regular oatmeal to 2 cups of boiling water. Turn down and simmer until thickened. Then add sliced banana, about 1 T of peanut butter, about 1 T of chopped almonds, and 1 T of agave syrup. Stir until mixed and serve. Very good on a cold winter morning and filling.

i don’t really like oatmeal, so if i am going to eat it, i need to sprinkle on some brown sugar or raw honey, and add enough fresh fruit to get a piece of fruit per spoonful. or, i put it in almost everything: i measure out 3/4 cup in the morning, then throughout the day, put some in eggs, in soup, on sandwiches, on salads, everything – and i can usually ‘get rid’ of it all!

Do you add extra calories for the pudding mix?

It does add some extra calories - but very few. (way less than peanut butter and other items XD)
I can't tell you exactly how many because I've never measured a package out in tablespoons, but 1/4 of a package of mix is 25 calories - and I don't use a fourth XD

For a different twist, cook steel cut oats then mix it all together with scrambled egg whites and one egg, Add a little seasoned salt. Sounds disgusting but tastes amazing. I make them up a week at a time and freeze them in small containers...they microwave well. I have also made oatcakes from thick paste lightly fried in olive oil.

I should add, you just mix and stick in fridge until breakfast. You eat it cold! No cooking needing.

I make my steel cut outs with vanilla soy milk & frozen mixed fruit.

maru84

3/4 c. old fashioned oats
1.5 c. water
2 egg whites (or one whole egg)
vanilla
Cook the oats and water together for a bit on the stove. Whip the egg whites or egg together with vanilla and add it to the oats once they start to become creamy. Turn up the burner a bit and cook for 3-4 more mins. This will keep you full longer and add awesome protein to your am nums.
