    Am I really the only person that cracks an egg into their oatmeal? I put 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk, 1 cup water, 1/4 tsp salt, 2 tbsp stevia in the raw, 1 tbsp cocoa powder, and 1/4 tsp vanilla extract with 1/2 cup rolled oats and microwave it for 5 minutes at 50% power.. then throw an egg in there and stir it up and microwave it until the oatmeal thickens. It basically turns into a gigantic bowl of hot brownie batter. Delicious. Sometimes I add some blueberries, raspberries, cherries, or PB2.

    Instead of making mine with water or milk, I use Aldi brand "Fit and Active" sugar free cranberry drink. Then I add 2 oz cashews and 1/4 cup craisins.

    If not that, then I make my oatmeal with water, add apples that I've chopped up and microwaved to soften, add 2 oz of some sort of nut, raisins if I have the calories for it, cinnamon, apple pie spice, and some truvia. Its delicious!

    So I tried to make mine fancy, and I didn't like it as much! I know, I'm such a weirdo. I just do oatmeal, milk, and a little sugar. Then I eat a banana or something on the side because I just didn't like it in my oatmeal!

    I use the old fashioned oats b/c they have more fiber. Then make it with water, chia seeds, Truvia (Stevia) packet and cinnamon. For a variation, I make peanut butter oatmeal using PB2 instead of the chia seeds.

    old fashioned rolled oats cooked with water.

    1 tsp of butter, 1/4 cup skim milk, and two tsp of natural sugar.

    For variation I use 1 tbs of maple syrup in place of sugar.

    Fruits (when I add them) vary between cranberries, blueberries, or bananas

    I like almond milk and raisins, but baked apples with cinnamon is super yummy, too!

    I love to have it every morning I have a huge plastic cereal container/dispenser of oatmeal.
    I usually have it with 5 dried prunes and half a serving of raw pecans, I just pour boiling water over the oatmeal and it's done.
    It's also good with blueberries and peanut butter, today I had it with sliced banana and pecans.

    I like using Bob's mill old fashioned whole rolled oats, cinnamon, water, and sometimes peanut or almond butter. Peanut butter and cinnamon is my favorite. Really rich and creamy!

    1/2 cup Quaker Old-Fashioned Oats
    1 cup light soymilk
    1 tsp brown sugar
    sprinkle cinnamon

    I used to do the instant packages, but found out real oatmeal doesn't take long to cook, tastes better and keeps me full longer. I tried putting almonds in for some protein since I eat breakfast after working out, but found I liked them better on the side.

    Butter and sugar here too. I just can't eat it no other way. I've tried.
