what do you put in Oatmeal..

Maple syrup or Sriracha.

I absolutely love oatmeal just don't like it thick -- so I make mine drinkable and it's so delicious people who hates the taste and/or texture really enjoy it when it's prepared this way;

Add cloves nutmeg and cinnamon to boiling water let boil for a 2-3 minutes to bring the flavors together
Then add your oatmeal -- stirring continuously as it thickens
Add Carnation Evaporated milk I add 2-4 tbsp stirring for another 2-3 minutes
Immediately remove from the stove pour into cup let it sit for a minute
Add Almond Breeze -( Vanilla for taste) stir well ... Enjoy a nice warm cup of oatmeal !
Sometimes I add a bit of honey if I feel the need for it to be a bit sweeter after adding the Almond milk -Used especially in the Winter to boost immune system and also for the antioxidant properties

Try it you'll absolutely love it -- (adjust my recipe to suit you)

banana and peanut butter.

I sometimes add a a pear to it

Cinnamon, chopped apples, raisins, and chopped walnuts. You can cook several days' worth and refrigerate in individual servings or all together. I sweeten with either Stevia, honey, or pure maple syrup. As another person posted, steel cut oats are better than oatmeal, but take longer to cook. Some nutritionists claim the steel cut to be healthier, but I don't know if that's true--just that I like the taste and texture of steel cut better.

I microwave it with light vanilla soy milk and then add a touch of brown sugar, chopped walnuts, dried cranberries and cinnamon. Delicious!

I Tbsp of peanut butter and then sprinkle with cinnamon

Banana and coco powder

Stir a Tablespoon of brown sugar into 1 cup cut strawberries, let sit for a minute then pour over cooked oatmeal. The sugary strawberry-ness sinks down into the oatmeal, it tastes like a yummy fruit filled pastry (okay not a pastry but CLOSE!), and you get 2 cups fruit with it.

cinnamon, honey, walnuts, raisins, seeds, coconut oil! YUM! almond or soy milk!

If you don't like it, don't eat it.

I always put pumpkin spice in it. It doesn't taste as good without it anymore. I often slice up a banana and add that (after cooking the oatmeal). If I'm making overnight oats, I usually add dried cranberry.

Milk, vanilla flavored soy or whey protein powder and a banana.

Milk, peanut butter, chocolate whey protein powder, hint of Hershey's chocolate syrup. (tastes like reeses peanut butter cup)

Milk, cinnamon, chopped walnuts, maple syrup, sweeten with stevia

Apples, raisins, agave nectar.....

Just started cooking it myself (us to eat instant) and love all the ideas. Thanks for posting the question.

1. sweetener and cocoa
2. brown sugar
yum!

frozen blueberries! They defrost from the heat of the oatmeal (granted you mix them in after you've heated up your oatmeal), and they help provide a naturally sweet taste with a little tartness. )
