    Steel cut oats cooked with cinnamon.
    1/2 sliced banana and chopped toasted nuts on top with vanilla unsweetened almond milk.

    Can eat like grits, southern style with salt and pepper. Instead of butter (which is a fat), I like using coconut oil (which is a fat). You can also experiment with any number of herbs and spices, even those you wouldn't normally consider. Have an experiment week if you have the time. Put small amounts of any herb or spice you have on hand on a each spoonful of your oatmeal preparation. Experiment further with those you find interesting, and make note of those you don't.:happy:

    I just add mixed nuts and dried cranberry and cinnamon. I don't think about it too much, all I know is that I need my oatmeal every morning.

    thinly sliced granny smith apple, as it is simmering away, almost melts right in to add flavor

    I make it using coconut milk. It makes it so rich and creamy. Also, I add a few raisins. Reminds me of arroz con leche. Yummy

    Nuts or granola are a great topping but you have to watch portions as they are high in calories. I often cook apple chunks in the water, with lots of cinnamon so you can add flavor with out a lot of fat and calories. I make a big batch and refrigerate it. It will keep for 5 days. I also like it with some preserves mixed in. Some tart cherry preserves with a few almond slivers is really good!

    crack an egg into it when its almost done for extra fluffiness and protein.

    For toppings I like Peanut butter, pumpkin puree, if im microwaving it, blueberries are fun because they explode and make it purple :)

    Blackberries. I put about 8-10 blackberries in and mash them up. They are my new kick. I also like chopped apples.

    I use chia seeds, cacao nibs, walnuts, a splash of grassfed raw milk, honey, and usually a scoop of protein powder. More "other stuff" than oats :blushing:
