    idk if anyone will like my recipe since you all have so many much more creative ones lol. I keep it simple and use my secret ingredients to make it pop :)

    i normally use 2 oz of oats then add 2oz of 1% lowfat milk and 2 oz of water. I like my oatmeal hot so when its on the stove I add half a tsp of vanilla and when its finished grate a little nutmeg on top to add wonderful smell and flavour and sugar to taste (i normally sue 1tbsp) If i'm feeling fancy i might cook it with cinnamon leaves and sticks and add fruits afterwards. o and i cook it on a low flame.

    Cook the oatmeal with half water and half fat free milk. Add half a tablespoon of light butter, a dash of cinnamon, and a tablespoon of raisins.

    I do two batches of steel-cut on Sunday - one sweet and and one savory, so I have options *laugh*

    Sweet I make with milk and a bit of local honey
    Savory I make with broth - usually chicken - and prepare it kind of like risotto.

    I portion it out into plastic carry-alongs - I have a bunch of the 1/2 cup types that I put in my additions so I can heat them up when I get to work, and I put 1/4 of the cooked into a separate (larger) container (I like to add lots of water and have it kinda runny when I reheat).

    For my sweet one, I like to add chocolate protein powder and cinnamon with some almond milk. Dried blueberries are also really, really good!

    For my savory, I like to bring olive oil, cracked pepper, an egg, and some nice parmesan cheese.

    Sometimes, I'll put some in a bowl of greek yoghurt with flax, chocolate protein powder, wheat germ, local honey, and some fruit - I make a big tub on Sunday and have breakfast all week. It's really filling and helps me hit my macros.
