hello fellow mfp users!
i know this sounds really weird, but i tried oatmeal for the first time this morning, and i topped it with bananas and pb2, which was just alright. i also made healthy oatmeal cookies which turned out to be amazing!
im planning on topping it with apple slices and cinnamon tomorrow, but i am ready and willing to try more and new tasty flavors!
please post what you have with your oatmeal so i can get ideas
thanks and have a great day/night!!

Honey Cinnamon and mixed berries(blue berries/raspberries/black berries) use local honey.
Sliced Almonds, walnuts or sunflower seeds -Honey Cinnamon.
Sliced Peaches and you know it HONEY-CINNAMON.0 -
I have a recipe to make an oatmeal cake ! it's really fast and easy but I usually mix peanut butter and banana slices it's filling and so good. I also bought sugar free jelly and microwaved it and drizzled it over my oats, fresh fruit, sugar free maple syrup, really anything to stop my sweet tooth !0

mmmmm sounds so good! could you please share the recipe?0 -
I add plain Greek yogurt, fresh fruit (usually blueberries or strawberries - or both!), walnuts, honey & cinnamon - it's delicious!0

Walnuts. Sometimes butter0
-
Diced up apples and cinnamon.0

I alternate between the boring butter plus brown sugar combo, or mixing in some matcha powder with milk and fruit. Both ways are delicious.0
-
Blueberries and walnuts0

Every morning at work I take 1/2 cup old fashioned oats and cook for one minute in water in the microwave then add 1/2 cup frozen blueberries, stir, and cook 1.5 minutes more stirring a minute in. I add one packet of stevia cuz I like it sweet!
sometimes I'll sub half a sliced banana and add cinnamon. And yes I cook the banana! I don't measure the water so I can't say how much water to use, I just eyeball it and add a little more if its too dry when I add the fruit.

I usually eat - 1 c. oatmeal, 1 c. blueberries, 2 oz. sunflower seeds, 1 TBS flax seed, and a splash of milk.
Last summer I made peaches and cream oatmeal using brown sugar, vanilla, peaches, and heavy cream. It was delicious but I doubt it was low cal.0 -
Nothing....0

Berries, splash of milk or almond milk, almonds, cinnamon. I also love banana slices, peanut butter, and few chocolate chips- that is a bit high in carbs so I do it rarely. The thing I found with oatmeal is that I have to combine it with some protein and fat or it causes some insane insulin spike making me hungry in 1-2 hrs.0

Brown sugar, maple syrup and chopped walnuts. It's very sweet so you only need a little!0
-
I started mixing my oatmeal with coconut water and topping it with cinnamon and raisins.0
-

I'm a chocoholic...I add 1 tablespoon of mini chips. Yum.0
-
I slice a banana and put it in the pot when it starts to bubble and then I whisk it until it's cooked. I add a bit of vanilla, a good amount of cinnamon, a sprinkle of finely chopped walnuts, and a teaspoon of brown sugar. Yummy, yummy banana nut oatmeal.0
-
Craisins, butter, vanilla and cinnamon with just a touch of brown sugar.0
-
I usually throw in a handful of golden raisins when I heat my instant oatmeal up.0
-
:bigsmile: cinnamon and craisins0

Measure out your half cup of peaches from a can. Pour the juice in with the dry oats. Add some water. Cook. Throw the peaches on top. I, then, add my milk. Also, sometimes cinnamon, or walnuts. Peaches and cream.0
