    Peanut butter, a banana and some granola usually. Or just a mix of the three. Sometimes I do apples and cinnamon, or pumpkin, or cinnamon with a drizzle of maple syrup. But I love how peanut butter melts in oatmeal and how the granola is crunchy.

    I put in some egg whites, or sometimes a lil all natural peanut butter with Flaxseed, or sometimes banana with cinnamon- it's good to mix things up :)

    Stevia with chopped dates or figs, sometimes few chopped almonds or pecans. Then, whatever mix of various spices I feel like that morning, usually a good pinch of mace and nutmeg.

    I cook it in unsweetened almond milk, then I add chopped strawberries or apples or bananas and 1 packet of stevia. Other times I'll add 2 mini boxes of raisins, cinnamon and 1 packet of stevia.

    I like fresh blueberries or raisins with 2%, 1% or skim milk...I can't stand it with water...yuk!!
    If you haven't tried it, McDonalds blueberry banana oatmeal is amazing! Too much sugar so I only eat it once in a while for a treat :bigsmile:

    i like it plain (made with water - since i adore the texture), but i do enjoy putting applesauce, protein powder, fruit, and/or truvia into it

    i also like making protein balls with oats, protein powder, honey, peanut butter, and chocolate chips - sooo good when they're frozen!

    Homemade honey - 1 tablespoon and sometimes bananas on the side.
    I'm really picky about mixing certain types of food - fruit for me is acceptable only fresh and when it's not mixed in any other food (except some cakes)
    and I have real issue with dried fruit (raisins, apricots, figs... so it's plain oatmeal with fresh bananas.

    In my country it is traditional to have oatmeal with cinnamon and a little bit of sugar.
    We have a special type of oatmeal, that is completely smooth (oats are ground down to a powder) and very yummy.

    I grew up on this stuff and it is still how I eat my oatmeal to this day.
    Only thing that's changed is that I now use soy milk, because I am lactose intolerant.

    Oatmeal with flax, a mashed banana, and a splash of milk. No sweetener. It's sweet enough!

    i do both sweet and savoury :) sweet seems well covered in this thread so.. make my oatmeal with just water, not milk.

    i sometimes poach an egg to go on top of of my oatmeal, loads of freshly ground black pepper and sometimes a tiny bit of sharp cheddar. the egg yolk runs all over the oatmeal and it's sooooo good!

    also, every now and then i'll put a dollop of marmite on the top and gobble it up. avocado is a lovely addition here too...

    Chia seeds and extra water to bulk up my meal to help keep me hydrated and full all morning. Chia seeds are loaded with omega-3s... Great stuff... Love it.
