The choices are endless. Almond butter and semi-sweet chocolate chips are one of my favorites. Here is a good youtube channel. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC_kTqkxIUpycqnCGTcbwxow

When I make plain or steel cut I add a container of no sugar added peaches and a little milk...peaches n cream so yummy! With steel cut it tastes a bit like peach cobbler.0

mix half a cup uncooked with a 6 oz low fat flavored yogurt= makes a thick mix- but tastes great and sticks to your ribs...0

You can add it to shakes... almond milk, chocolate protein, peanut butter... whatever you'd like in there. Also, you can add a little bit of honey and almond milk to make your oatmeal that way. Also milk and cut up bananas warmed up with the oats are delicious.
One more idea: mash up 3 ripe bananas, 2 cups of those oats, and some raisins, bake at 350 for 10-15 minutes or so. Yummy healthy cookies!
Gosh i could probably go on forever... hope these ideas help!0 -
Always blueberries. Apple pie spices -- nutmeg, minced cloves and lots of good-for-you cinnamon. A tiny bit of real maple syrup.0

Raw honey, apples, and blueberries0

I eat oatmeal every morning. Lately, I have been adding semi-sweet chocolate chips and shredded coconut to it. Tastes like a granola bar.0

Mash an egg and a banana in a mug
Add 1/2 cup of oatmeal
Add berries or raisins or cocoa nibs or whatever
Microwave for 3 minutes
Voila, microwave oat "muffin" in less than 5 minutes.0 -
These are some good tips.I have always hated oatmeal. But I am going to give some of these idea a shot. Maybe they will help!0

My favorite is made with almond milk, cinnamon, half a banana, a teaspoon of brown sugar or coconut sugar (if I have it) and a handful of walnuts! You can also add apples or blueberries. Oatmeal is so bland you can really add anything to it, but I like adding the cinnamon because it really decreases the need/want to add sugar.0

I make them with a mix of almond milk and water and currently, raisins or dried apricots are my favorite flavor enhancer for oatmeal.0

Oatmeal - sadly the factory processing that makes instant oatmeal "instant" also flushes a lot of the nutritional value out of it. They become high-GI, meaning that they convert to sugar more quickly than regular oats. And there are all sorts of additives in instant oatmeal - scary numbers of them, depending on the brand. That's the price we pay for convenience.
I make mine with skim milk, and add a half-handful of my trail mix which contains raisins, walnuts, dried banana, dried mango.0 -
frozen fruit. It cools down the oatmeal as it thaws.0
-
Cinnamon and raisins0

I just add honey and fruit to mine... But I LOVE making oatmeal cookies!!!0

Im a big BIIIIG fan of chocolate so I add cocoa powder honey and hot water then layer it with yogurt and top it up with bananas and cinamon.
Also, want to try this recipe:
1/2 cup cottage cheese
4 egg whites
vanilla extract
1/2 cup oats
Baking powder
makes pncakes. I guess I'd add honey and cocoa to that too haha0 -
Add vanilla protein powder, almond milk, berries and a sprinkle of chopped walnuts...delicious!0
-
on www.skinnytaste.com there are multiple recipes for baked oatmeal to have as breakfast containing fruits and nuts and they all look very yummy i am going to buy oats just to try the banana and cinnamon one cmes out pretty solid almost like a granola bar but warm and yummy and leftovers would keep well for following days breakfasts0

Don't worry about "stove top". Just add boiling water or microwave it.
Add whatever you want: fruit, peanut butter, syrup, dark chocolate etc.0 -
I grate an apple, add some cinnamon and vanilla, chuck 6 cups of water in a crockpot 3 cups oatmeal and let it go until cooked. Then I divide it into 9 and chuck it in the freezer. Take one out each night and microwave it for breakfast.0
-
I like 1 tbsp ground flaxseed, 1 tbsp peanut butter, 1/2 tbsp honey, cinnamon to taste, and a handful of blueberries.0
-
Throw in a handful of walnuts, a few dried cranberries (and a LITTLE bit of real butter!)0
-
I don't "stove-top" my oats. I bake them. You're welcome. :smokin:0
-
I used to add strawberry preserves and almond butter. MMMM.
Or.. nutella and cinnamon, if you're feeling dangerous.0 -
I've been making the plain Jane oatmeal and then adding Almond milk to it. Taste good to me and I was never an oatmeal fan.0
-
I use it in my meatloaf instead of rice0
-
Apple and cinnamon is a classic, can never go wrong there... maple syrup and nuts is another fave of mine, plus it adds a little crunch to it!0

I had savory oatmeal this morning. I used nutritional yeast (kind of cheesy in flavor so you could probably use shaker Parmesan or some other kind of cheese), coconut oil, garlic powder, salt, pepper, a dash of liquid smoke and sriracha. I added frozen spinach, a veggie patty and some sunflower seeds for texture and crunch. When I go for sweet oats I tend to load them up with cinnamon and add frozen blueberries, peanut butter and almond milk.0
