What's in your Oatmeal?

I make mine into smoothies using dry oats adding some almond milk, protein powder, some berries or bananas and some natural peanut butter add some ice cubes and blend. YUM! Great quick breakfast or after workout drink!0

I have never heard of eating oatmeal with anything besides milk and brown sugar until I joined MFP. I haven't been brave enough to do much else except we like to add chopped apple, raisins and cinnamon to the pot while it's cooking. We don't do instant oatmeal any more - quick oats are just as convenient as oatmeal packages and way better for you in my opinion (and cheaper). We tend to use large flakes cooked in water since they are even better for you than the quick oats.0

Looks right up my alley1/2 cup old fashioned oats
1/2 cup three berry medley
1/2 cup almond milk
1 tbsp flaxseed
Cinnamon to taste
Calories: 235
Mix together and put in the fridge overnight.0 -
Two small boxes of raisins, a bit (Tsp & 1/2) of raw brown sugar and that's it....use water not milk.0

I do 1/2 or 1/3 c. of steel cut oats, depending on how hungry I am, sometimes 1/2 water and 1/2 soy milk, but usually just water. I add 1/2 oz. toasted slivered almonds, a little honey or maple syrup and 3 oz. of blueberries. That's usually about 300-350 calories or so. I used to hate oatmeal, but I've come to really enjoy it because I stopped eating the slimy stuff and started eating steel cut oats.0

Bump! Some good ideas on here!0

I use untoasted rolled oats cooked for 15 minutes with water and a tiny pinch of salt. I add a big scoop of chia seed and a tsp of chickpea miso paste. I love savory food and my acupuncturist recommended miso to aid in digestion. Untoasted oats have more nutrients and the chia is hydrophilic.0

Can't wait to make Oatmeal in the morning! I think I am going to have to try the banana & pb first0
-
I add in raisins and cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice depending on my mood. Both are delish!0

A lot of artificial flavors, stevia, flavored stevia, and aspertame.0

Am I really the only person that cracks an egg into their oatmeal? I put 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk, 1 cup water, 1/4 tsp salt, 2 tbsp stevia in the raw, 1 tbsp cocoa powder, and 1/4 tsp vanilla extract with 1/2 cup rolled oats and microwave it for 5 minutes at 50% power.. then throw an egg in there and stir it up and microwave it until the oatmeal thickens. It basically turns into a gigantic bowl of hot brownie batter. Delicious. Sometimes I add some blueberries, raspberries, cherries, or PB2.0

Instead of making mine with water or milk, I use Aldi brand "Fit and Active" sugar free cranberry drink. Then I add 2 oz cashews and 1/4 cup craisins.
If not that, then I make my oatmeal with water, add apples that I've chopped up and microwaved to soften, add 2 oz of some sort of nut, raisins if I have the calories for it, cinnamon, apple pie spice, and some truvia. Its delicious!0 -
Natural peanut butter, banana, hemp hearts.0
-
So I tried to make mine fancy, and I didn't like it as much! I know, I'm such a weirdo. I just do oatmeal, milk, and a little sugar. Then I eat a banana or something on the side because I just didn't like it in my oatmeal!0
-
I use the old fashioned oats b/c they have more fiber. Then make it with water, chia seeds, Truvia (Stevia) packet and cinnamon. For a variation, I make peanut butter oatmeal using PB2 instead of the chia seeds.0

old fashioned rolled oats cooked with water.
1 tsp of butter, 1/4 cup skim milk, and two tsp of natural sugar.
For variation I use 1 tbs of maple syrup in place of sugar.
Fruits (when I add them) vary between cranberries, blueberries, or bananas0 -
this thread! I have a ton of oats and had no ideas for them other than brown sugar and cinnamon. Thanks for the ideas!0
-
i make it with water, every now and then coconut milk instead.

I like almond milk and raisins, but baked apples with cinnamon is super yummy, too!0
-
I love to have it every morning I have a huge plastic cereal container/dispenser of oatmeal.
I usually have it with 5 dried prunes and half a serving of raw pecans, I just pour boiling water over the oatmeal and it's done.
It's also good with blueberries and peanut butter, today I had it with sliced banana and pecans.0 -
I like using Bob's mill old fashioned whole rolled oats, cinnamon, water, and sometimes peanut or almond butter. Peanut butter and cinnamon is my favorite. Really rich and creamy!0
-
Cooked with water, add honey and banana - my fav!!0
-
1/2 cup Quaker Old-Fashioned Oats
1 cup light soymilk
1 tsp brown sugar
sprinkle cinnamon
I used to do the instant packages, but found out real oatmeal doesn't take long to cook, tastes better and keeps me full longer. I tried putting almonds in for some protein since I eat breakfast after working out, but found I liked them better on the side.0 -
Butter and sugar here too. I just can't eat it no other way. I've tried.0
