Can anybody give me any fun and healthy ways to use oatmeal rather than just adding peanut butter or honey and fruit?
Please and Thank you![:) :)](https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/resources/emoji/smile.png)

Great sites! I always put yogurt in my oatmeal. It tastes delicious when the oatmeal is hot and the cold yogurt adds a tasty and smooth texture. Yummy.0

Mostly I turn my oatmeal into chocolate pudding - cook with plenty of liquid, optionally add fruit (I like chopped pear), and then add cocoa and sweetener (or in my case, two heaped teaspoons of a good, sugar-free hot chocolate powder).
But for something a tad more inspired, these are good, especially if you add fruit like peach slices, berries or more apple to jazz them up. Courtesy of a South Beach diet forum (from my SB efforts of the past), although I don't remember who to credit.
Baked Oatmeal
(makes about 10 bars - have one or two per serving)
2 1/2 cup rolled oats
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp table salt
1 Tbsp ground cinnamon
1 cup fat-free skim milk
2 large eggs
1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
1 tsp vanilla extract
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
In a medium bowl, mix the dry ingredients. In another bowl, mix the wet ingredients. Combine the wet and dry, mixing well, and pour batter into a 9x13 pan that has been sprayed with Pam or similar.
Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until golden brown.0 -
I like overnight oats. Check out this site. You can add so many different fruits to it. Very yummy. I like to use Coconut or Almond Milk with mine.

I really like cold oatmeal that thickens overnight in the fridge. Read it on a blog, tried it, love it. It gives it a different texture and taste. You should google it
.
I've also seen people put it in their smoothies. I have never tried it because I'm not much of a smoothie person, but good concept.
And lastly, I love these pb oatmeal bars. Here is the recipe. They aren't very sweet, but they are perfect for breakfast!
PB Oatmeal Bars:
1 1/2 cups oats
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. cinnamon
1 tsp. vanilla
1/2 cup milk
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1 large mashed banana
1/4 cup peanut butter
Simple. Combine. Bake. Cut. Eat. Enjoy!0 -
I add 1/2 tsp of cinnamon, 2 tbsp of sweetened coconut and 2 tsp of chocolate chips to oatmeal.0

Love this Oatmeal Bake. Here is a banana version:
2 cups rolled oats (can use quick oats)
Rumford's - Low Sodium Baking Powder, 1 tsp.
Spices - Cinnamon, ground, 2 tsp
Spices - Nutmeg, ground, 1 tsp
1-2 scoops of protein powder
Silk - Pure Almond Milk Unsweetened Original, 2 cup
Bananas - Raw, 1 medium -very ripe
Egg Beaters/Publix - Egg Stirs, 1/2 cup
Mix dry ingredients, then mix wet ingredients in a separate bowl. Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients. Spray 8 X 8 baking pan. Cook at 350 for about 40 minutes. Cut into 6 pieces. With my protein powder (2 scoops at 140 calories for 2 scoops), the calorie count for each piece is only 167 calories. I top it with 1/8 cup of sugar free Maple Grove Syrup (additional 15 calories) and/or no sugar added cherry pie filling (30 calories for 1/3 cup).
Yummiest breakfast ever! I bake ahead and use it for the next few days.

You can put oatmeal in your protein shakes....
I have been having oatmeal for breakfast in the mornings..... I do:
1/2 cup old fashioned oats
1 cup water
1/4-1/2 scoop vanilla protein powder
dash truvia
microwave for 2 minutes
add 1/4 cup canned pumpkin, dash cinnamon (heavy dash if you like cinnamon like me) - stir up - microwave for another minute....
add 1/4-1/2 tsp splenda brown sugar blend or 1.5tsp brownulated light brown sugar.
YUM!0 -
I usually do PB and 1/2 of a mashed up banana. It is very filling! I saw a recipe for "funfetti oatmeal" today, I am going to try it tomorrow. It's instant oats cooked with milk, and when it's done you add a couple tablespoons of funfetti cake mix to it and mix. Sounds awesome because I love all things funfetti!0

I forgot! Another favorite is pumpkin oatmeal. Just add 1/4 - 1/3 cup of canned pumpkin to your oatmeal with some pumpkin pie spice and sugar or a sug substitute. Heavenly! Especially in the fall.0

I use it in my meatloaf.0

Thank you all so much for your great ideas
Do you think it would be ok to make refrigerator oats with rolled oats?0 -
I make mine with almond milk rather than water (I'm sure regular milk would be just fine) and while the milk is heating up I add vanilla, cinnamon, and a bit of brown sugar. Then when it's all cooked, I slice up a banana and put that on top. :-)
I've also heard that oatmeal with a tad of Nutella is yummy!0 -

Yes, I use rolled oats to make refrigerator oats.0
