    Yum! I love oatmeal... but I usually don't top it. I usually eat fruit on the side, so I can imagine blueberries, bananas, raspberries, strawberries, apples, and blackberries would be good on oatmeal! I also tend to add just a little extra skim milk for a smoother consistency. (:

    Does anyone eat steel cut oats? I love them. They take much longer to cook but yummy and chewy.

    I do steel-cut oats overnight in the crockpot.

    My favorite topping is coconut milk and mango.

    how do u make them? i have some around at my house but have no idea how to make overnight oats

    i mix in coconut oil and blueberries. sometimes a tiny bit of protein powder. also if you cook it with an egg white or two it makes the oatmeal fluffier

    A tablespoon of Biscoff spread and strawberries. OMG! I crave this and can't wait until breakfast the next day. Also a tablespoon of neutella and raspberries.

    I used to use quick oats and have recently switched to old fashioned. NEVER going back!

    A tribute to the world’s greatest breakfast!
    http://www.katheats.com/kaths-tribute-to-oatmeal

    Oats6.jpg

    Whipped Banana Oatmeal

    1/3 cup old fashioned oats
    1/3 cup 1% or skim or soy milk
    2/3 cup water (I like my oats a bit liquidy – cut back to 1/2 a cup if you don’t)
    1/2 a banana, sliced
    1/2 tbsp chia seeds (they give the best fluffy texture!)
    Pinch of kosher salt
    Vanilla, stirred in at end

    Start by combining rolled oats, water, and milk in a saucepan over medium heat. Slice a banana into VERY thin pieces, leaving just a few bigger chunks. Walk away for a few minutes while the oatmeal heats. Once it begins to steam or bubble, stir vigorously at times to “whip” the banana into the oats. The oats will take about 5 minutes on medium heat from start to finish to fully absorb the liquid. They’re done when they reach your desired consistency! Then I stir in vanilla (and often pumpkin or cottage cheese) and portion into bowls. Add any toppings you like, such as almond or peanut butter dollops, nuts, granola, coconut, crumbled granola bars, or trail mix – with dark chocolate chips! Or check out all the combos listed below.

    The whipped method produces a really creamy bowl of oats. The bananas basically disappear, so there are no chunks. Since banana is an emulsifier of sorts, this method suspends the oats into a thick, creamy consistency and the whole bowl is sweeter because the banana’s sweetness permeates throughout.
