    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.

    Not for long! That sounds delicious

    Cinnamon and blend in 2 TBSP of one of the following: Smuckers Sugar-free Preseves, boysenberry, red raspberry, blueberry, apricot, peach or orange marmalade. it's awesome yummy, fills you up AND is a nice zero sweet tooth fix.

    I eat steel cut oats almost every morning, so addicted!

    I serve mine up with:
    peanut butter and honey
    cinnamon sugar
    brown sugar and splash of milk

    Thanks to this thread, I have a few new ideas I will have to try!!

    I usually make mine with water. I've had a hard time getting to my calorie goal on lifting day recently though so I'm trying milk, but I haven't perfected it. I go through spurts where I add the same thing forever then I'll randomly switch.

    Currently I do:
    1/2c old fashioned oats
    1c water or milk
    1 tbsp raw cacao nibs
    1/2 ounce walnuts
    2 tsp raw local honey (its for my allergies I swear)
    splash of milk if I didn't make it with milk

    Other things I've put in my oatmeal (most of them seem pretty popular)- cranberries, apples, peanut butter, chia seeds, banana, and pumpkin pie spice.

    Wow, so apparently the exciting Oatmeal bandwagon passed me by!

    I've always just eaten it with milk, but never enjoyed it!

    Maybe one of these ones will spice it up a bit :)

    I saw a recipe for baked oatmeal on the Food Network and found several healthy recipes on-line. Has anyone ever tried it?

    Apples or apple sauce. If I do instant oatmeal, I usually try to stick to the lower sugar Quaker variety and add a tub of lite cinnamon apple sauce to it (50 cals). Or I do steel cut oats in the crockpot and add a few cubed up apples, some cinnamon and a little bit of brown sugar (water for liquid).

    Dried fruit. I'm trying to give up refined sugar, so this is a slightly healthier way of adding some sweetness!

    I love overnight oats!

    1/4 cup rolled oats
    1/4 cup skim milk
    1/4 cup plain yogurt
    1/2 TBSP chia seeds
    1/2 TBSP brown sugar
    frozen mixed berries

    Mix it all up and put in the fridge. I would make a week's worth every Sunday and they kept fine.

    I'm trying to cut out dairy and added sugar so I will definitely be trying some of the other recipes on here.

    I mix equal parts oats and unsweetened vanilla almond milk. (I eat it cold.) When I was first starting to phase in the oatmeal, I put sugar in it (brown or white), but now I actually like it without any sweetner.
