    I usually throw in a handful of blueberries. It's relish.

    Ok this may sound crazy but its healthy and delicious! (At least for me cos I love chinese food)

    50g of rolled scottish porridge/oatmeal
    200ml of unsweeted almond milk
    2 large boiled egg whites
    1-3 tblsp soy sauce
    1 tsp of powered ginger
    Pinch of chilli powder
    Handful of spring onions (chopped)
    Sprig of coriander/cilantro to garnish

    As for something a bit sweeter and more mainstream (more treat-ish)

    50g rolled scottish oats
    200 ml hazelnut milk
    2 tblspoons nutella
    1 tblspoon of peanut butter (smooth or chunky)
    Garnish with a sprinkling of dark chocolate chips

    I mix up my breakfasts. Oatmeal is not so bad. Every once in a while for me. I like smoothies, maybe a hard boiled egg, vegetarian breakfast burrito or a meal replacement bar with coffee. The other day, I was at tehe supermarket and came across gluten free oatmeal. Maybe you can try to get a sugar free one then adding your fruit to it won't seem so bad. Do you like yogurts? Those are great as well. Just make sure to have breakfast because it is the most important fueler of the day.

    Baked Banana Oatmeal Bars (Topped with PB)

    Preheat oven to 375. Slice up one banana (or 2 if you want) to layer on the top.

    1) Combine the dry ingredients:
    ■2 cups rolled oats
    ■1 tsp baking powder
    ■1/4 tsp kosher salt

    2) Combine the wet ingredients:
    ■1 egg, beat
    ■1 mashed banana
    ■1.5 cups skim milk (I use soy, works great!)
    ■1 tsp vanilla

    Pour the wet ingredients into the dry. Mix well.

    Line an 8″ pan (square or round) with parchment paper (for easy removal and cutting!).

    Pour batter into pan. Top with remaining banana slices.

    Bake for ~26 minutes or until firm and golden. Let it cool. Then slice into 8 servings and freeze in plastic baggies or foil.

    Every morning I take one out, throw it in the microwave for 1 1/2 minutes and top with 1 tbs of peanut butter. Tastes delicious and under 300 calories! Enjoy :smile:

    i either mix dry oatmeal in some yogurt and let is sit for a couple hours (sometimes do this the night before)

    or i make a serving of hot oatmeal and mix in Ketle corn popcorn seasoning which is about 5 calories, or cinnamon and stevia.
    sometimes i mix in some PB2 when i want a peanut butter flavor


    or one cup oatmeal mixed with 2 ripe mashed bananas dropped onto a cookie sheet and baked for 8-10 minutes for oatmeal banana cookies.

    When it's warmer I make refrigrator oatmeal. You can get lots of recipes from Google or Pintrest. My fave so far is using 1/2 cup quick oats, 1 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk, half a banana ( cut up), 1/2 cup blueberries and a couple drops of vanilla. Mix in container and stick in the fridge overnight. In the morning I will mix in some chopped walnuts or almond slivers.

    This sounds really good!! Im going to try this!!

    I just put some protein powder (Combat Powder Chocolate flavor) and that's it. It tastes so good.. I never get tired of it. That protein powder tastes really good.. I won't use any other brand because most of them tastes horrible.

    i actually just got finished eating a savory oatmeal and it was incredible! I used old fashioned oats, vegetable stock, green peppers, broccoli, and then added oregano, garlic and onion seasoning. Microwaved for a minute, then enjoyed. Definitely will make tomorrow!

    1 Tbsp chia seeds
    2 Tbsp oat bran cereal
    1/4 cup large flake oats
    loads more cinnamon

    I eat mine raw, just about every morning during the week I have:

    1/2 cup oats (Usually use quick oats since they're chopped a little finer)
    1 cup greek yogurt
    1/2 cup blueberries (I get the frozen ones and defrost a couple handful for about 2 minutes and then put them in a hand chopper)

    Mix it all together usually have a protein shake to go with it.

    This is not a recipe but more of a find. I have tried many oatmeal products in the past but never really liked any of them to make them part of my breakfast lineup. But a couple of weeks ago, by the recommendation of a fellow dieter, I tried the Better Oats (OatFit) instant oatmeal and not only did I liked it but now I'm hooked on it. It's only 100 calories per serving, easy to prepare, just follow the packet directions, and it's specially delicious if you sprinkle some cinnamon on top. It comes in different flavors but I specially like the "maple and brown sugar" one. Bought it at HEB.

    absolutely amazing....i ahve been addicted to Oatfit for about 8 months now.

    Not sure how many of these have been mentioned but these are my go-to recipes. I usually make it on the stove with 5-minute oats.

    • 1/2 cup oatmeal (made with water) and 1/2 cup cottage cheese: ~240 calories
    • 1/2-2/3 cup oat, 1 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk, 1 tbsp peanut butter, splenda: ~280-330 calories
    • 2/3-3/4 cup oat, 1 egg (optional), 1 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk, 1 tbsp hershey special dark chocolate cocoa powder, splenda: ~240-335 calories
    • 2/3-3/4 cup oats,1 egg (optional), 1 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk, splash of vanilla (again, optional), cinnamon to taste, splenda: ~230-325 calories

    Hopefully none of my calorie calculations are off lol. Math has never been my best subject! I try to get some protein in my oatmeal via eggs/cottage cheese when I can because I'm vegetarian. Another way to spice up the vanilla oatmeal is by steeping the water/almond milk you use in vanilla tea before adding it to your oatmeal. I'm sort of lazy and have only done it once or twice, but it adds a lot of really delicious flavor!

    I've been doing a lot of the baked oatmeal recipe an earlier poster linked to from Epicurious--my husband even likes this one and he is not much of a breakfast eater. I tend to use coconut oil instead of butter just because I have it around and like the flavor, and like the previous poster I don't bother with the portion you're supposed to sprinkle over the top. Make sure your bananas are good and brown, that helps with the flavor and sweetness a lot.

    Lately I've been experimenting with overnight oatmeal/refrigerator oatmeal. If you look on Pinterest this seems to be all the rage and you can find all sorts of recipes. So far my favorite has been a coconut mango one (cases of mangos were on sale last week and I'm trying desperately to finish mine off).

    i make proats (chocolate protein powder, tbsp flaxseed oil, multigrain oatmeal and water), and after microwaving it i leave it in the freezer for two hours and it comes out cold and slightly gooey.
    sounds gross but tastes delicious :)
