    I absolutely love oatmeal just don't like it thick -- so I make mine drinkable and it's so delicious people who hates the taste and/or texture really enjoy it when it's prepared this way;

    Add cloves nutmeg and cinnamon to boiling water let boil for a 2-3 minutes to bring the flavors together
    Then add your oatmeal -- stirring continuously as it thickens
    Add Carnation Evaporated milk I add 2-4 tbsp stirring for another 2-3 minutes
    Immediately remove from the stove pour into cup let it sit for a minute
    Add Almond Breeze -( Vanilla for taste) stir well ... Enjoy a nice warm cup of oatmeal !
    Sometimes I add a bit of honey if I feel the need for it to be a bit sweeter after adding the Almond milk -Used especially in the Winter to boost immune system and also for the antioxidant properties

    Try it you'll absolutely love it -- (adjust my recipe to suit you)

    Cinnamon, chopped apples, raisins, and chopped walnuts. You can cook several days' worth and refrigerate in individual servings or all together. I sweeten with either Stevia, honey, or pure maple syrup. As another person posted, steel cut oats are better than oatmeal, but take longer to cook. Some nutritionists claim the steel cut to be healthier, but I don't know if that's true--just that I like the taste and texture of steel cut better. :smile:

    I microwave it for 1 minute in a bowl with just enough water to cover, then shake on cinnamon and ginger, then add a whole chopped peach or apple or 1/2 C pumpkin puree, then 1/2 of a vanilla yogurt. Almost every single morning. LOVE it, and it's so filling!
  • I microwave it with light vanilla soy milk and then add a touch of brown sugar, chopped walnuts, dried cranberries and cinnamon. Delicious!

    Raspberries, pure maple syrup, almonds and pumpkin seeds.
  • Banana and coco powder :)
  • I could use some help as well. I truly hate sweet foods. Sugar, fruit, syrup etc just will not get me to eat oatmeal. Does anyone have recipe for savory, salty, NOT SWEET oatmeal???

    Stir a Tablespoon of brown sugar into 1 cup cut strawberries, let sit for a minute then pour over cooked oatmeal. The sugary strawberry-ness sinks down into the oatmeal, it tastes like a yummy fruit filled pastry (okay not a pastry but CLOSE!), and you get 2 cups fruit with it.

    first, I stopped eating rolled oats, and started eating steel cut.

    I add pecans, blueberries, and cinnamon, sometimes a splash of 1% moo juice.

    sometimes, I just eat it as is.

    What's the difference in rolled and steel cut?

    If you don't like it, don't eat it.

    I always put pumpkin spice in it. It doesn't taste as good without it anymore. I often slice up a banana and add that (after cooking the oatmeal). If I'm making overnight oats, I usually add dried cranberry.

    1/8-1/4 cup chopped walnuts, 1/2 granny smith apple pealed and chopped up, cinnamon, nonfat milk, stevia to slightly sweeten. Im a breakfast person so the loaded oatmeal works well for me. if that is too many calories-just use water and lean toward the 1/8 of a cup of nuts or leave them out all together

    frozen blueberries! They defrost from the heat of the oatmeal (granted you mix them in after you've heated up your oatmeal), and they help provide a naturally sweet taste with a little tartness. :o)

    I grind flax seeds to put in. I also put in 1/4 cup of pecans, half a banana, some berries or Chukar Cherries, cinnamon and a 1/3 cup of 1% milk. I don't use 1/2 cup per serving but 1/3 cup of oats per serving since I put so much in.
