    I love oatmeal and make lots of different variations - I cook it in water and add 1-2 scoops of protein powder:

    My favorite, Chocolate PB: oats, 1-2 tbsps unsweetened cocoa powder, ground cinnamon, Dark Chocolate PB
    Sweet Potato Pie: oats, baked sweet potato, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, ground ginger
    Mounds: oats, 1-2 tbsps cocoa powder, 1 tbsp coconut oil
    Mexican Hot Chocolate: oats, 1-2 tbs cocoa powder, ground cinnamon, ground cayenne pepper
    Breakfast Oats: oats, chopped banana, chopped walnuts, sugar free maple syrup

    I use oats (ground down in my food processor) to make banana, strawberry or blueberry muffins. These delectable gluten free treats are a great addition with my morning green tea. Yogurt, honey, almond milk are a few of the other ingredients...all very healthy and only between 90-160 cal depending on what you use.

    I also made healthy oatmeal cookies which turned out to be amazing!

    Can we get this recipe? I'm always looking for new ways to eat my oats!

    To answer your question, I usually top with bananas or blueberries and a tablespoon of peanut butter. Plain-Jane.

    i like to add in to a bowl of 1/2 cup quick oats cooked in the microwave for a minute with a cup water:

    1/2 scoop choc protein powder
    1/2 scoop choc protein powder and 1 tbsp pb2
    1 tbsp maple syrup and 1 tbsp pb2
    1/4 cup applesauce, spinkle cinnamon and stevia packed
    1/2 cup pumpkin puree, 1 scoop vanilla protein powder, cloves and pumpkin pie spice
    1/2 cup blueberries and cinnamon
    i am debating trying a new one that has to do with salsa, and make a different type of meal with it. maybe salsa and cheese and see how that goes lol

    true to Scottish roots... I eat my Porridge with a little salt.

    I soak it in cold water overnight, about double the volume of water to oatmeal.

    Then the next morning I add a little salt and slowly bring it up to the boil, whisking regularly. I add more water at that stage, then I let it bubble, giving it an occasional whisk, until it's ready.

    It should still have a little bite and be neither too stiff nor too soft.

    I usually make "overnight oats": mix together 1/3 c. old-fashioned oats, 1/3 c. plain Greek yogurt, 1/3 c. vanilla almond milk. Pop into the fridge overnight, and the next morning top with mixed berries, 1/2 a sliced banana, and about a tablespoon of granola. Delicious (plain old oatmeal needs all the help it can get as far as flavor is concerned!)!

    I do steel-cut oats overnight in the crockpot.

    My favorite topping is coconut milk and mango.

    I like chop a fuji apple and put it in the boiling water. Once they start to soften I add quick oats, cinnamon and a little bit of brown sugar. It reminds me of apple pie! I also do the same with mashed banana. It taste like banana bread. If I have walnuts I add them in. :)
