Wow! Didn't know there were so many ideas - some that I need to try. I have mine with unsweetened applesauce and cinnamon. Very yummy as well.0

I add frozen mixed berries to my oatmeal, they are sweet and tart and get all melty with the heat - and are packed full of antioxidants0

Another one I do which is a bit different is simply adding a few teaspoons of oats to a warm drink like tea/coffee/mocha for when I'm feeling a bit peckish between main meals.0

I really like savory oatmeal. It's pretty weird, but nothing says oatmeal has to be sweet, right? I like to think of oatmeal as a carbohydrate, just like rice or pasta or a potato-- you can mix whatever you like with it!
An egg, a bit of cooked sausage, a sprinkle of cheese, a few nuts, chicken breast, leftover veggies, whatever spices you want to throw in... tons of things work, once you get past the weirdness of it. Would it work in a taco? On a baked potato? With polenta or risotto? It would probably work here! You don't need much of an add-in for it to change the dish-- you can get sort of a "fast food breakfast sandwich" flavor using only using a fraction of the normal amounts of, say, sausage or cheese or other 'bad' stuff.
I started this mostly because I needed a way of getting protein into my breakfasts, and putting it all in one dish was easier. It's not for everyone, but I've made some converts!0 -
1 tsp of pure maple syrup + 1 T of chopped walnuts0

dried fruit! cranberries are my favourite.
i quite like cold oats in a bowl with a small amount of milk, water, and different fruits (dried or not). it really fills me up and is seriously refreshing in the morning!0 -
Fruit Jam, Cookie crumbs and fresh fruits!
Also wrap it around flour and chicken, deep fried.0 -
Probably already said, but PB2. Perhaps a little stevia to sweeten. Marvelous.0
