    So after watching my new favorite Hungry Girl cooking show, I put about 1 cup of organic soy milk or almond milk and then 1/2 a cup of water. Basically letting the oatmeal swell up and in turn doubling it's mass so I don't need as much of it.. Then I add in some fresh apple slices if I have it or dried apple slices and a little cinnamon.

    It's super yummy!
    love hungry girl, i put pumpkin in mine. i got that from her cookbook

    I do half a banana (or berries), a scoop of vanilla protein, some pecans, and a little bit of milk. :)

    A lot of people on here comment about using egg whites in their porridge/oatmeal...is that instead of milk? Does it not scramble!?

    I make my oatmeal with water not milk. Anyway, I put in some walnuts, blueberries or dried cranberries and cinnamon. Delicious!!

    I do the same. I buy old fashioned oats and the night before I put a pot on the stove with no fire.
    1/3 cup oats, 1 cup water, and a dash of cinnamon

    Then in the morning I cook it for 10 minutes and when it's done I add:
    2 tsp wheat germ
    1/2 scoop protein powder
    1/2 tb agave nectar
    chia seeds (I made into a paste with almond milk)
    top with berries

    Keeps me full for a couple hours.

    I see Anna800 puts protein powder in her oats. I was wondering if anyone ever put Muscle Milk in their oatmeal and if so, how is it?

    I usually make my oatmeal with water in the microwave. Then add 1 tsp peantbutter and 1 tbs of brown sugar splenda.
    Pumpkin sounds like it would be awesome. I am going to have to try that one!

    This morning I made an oatmeal pancake. Spray your small skillet. Mix about 1/2 cup quick oats, 1 egg beaten, a splash of skim milk, a pinch of salt, cinnamon to taste. Mix well & let sit just a cople of minutes to soak in liquid...pour into your skillet and cool till brown on both sides. Top with a small amount of margaring of your choice and then I put a little honey on top. If I have blueberries I usually add a few to the mix. Yum..for a special b/fast.

    Countless variations for me!

    Honey flavored greek yogurt with fruit
    Berry flavored yogurt
    Almond milk - vanilla flavored
    Applesauce
    Sliced apple and cinnamon
    Sugar-free jam

    I'd totally do peanut butter but it is a weakness of mine and if I had it in my house I'd eat it with a spoon. Besides that, my roommate feels the same way and ate it all last time I bought it. lol

    I have been eating steel cut oats. I make it [extra runny] with either almond milk or water first. Then I add 1 TBSP flax seeds, 1 TBSP chia seeds (I put these in my bullet to make a "meal" out of it), 1 TBSP sliced almonds, and 1 TBSP organic unrefined coconut oil. It's super delicious.

    MFP made me like cottage cheese, which I always hated. Going to try some of these recipes and hopefully will learn to like real oatmeal. I've been eating the boxed kind in little packs..I know, so much shame lol

    I use Sun Warrior natural flavor.

    I like my porridge on its own or with chopped banana. Some of these ideas sound amazing!

    I always cook it with milk and cinnamon or cocoa powder. Then I add chocolate or nuts or fruit, it tastes differently every day. :) Yum (:
