Hey guys! I really find oatmeal can get a bit repetative and boring after a while, so what do you do to make it that extra bit delicious? What do you add? Any recipes? Thankyou :flowerforyou:

    I was given a 25lb bucket of rolled oats a few days ago, so I now have a serving a day :) My current favorite way to eat it-

    -1 serving, cooked in water
    -add 1tbsp ground flax seed
    -small handful of raisins
    -a dash of cinnamon
    -small handful of raw walnuts

    oats
    water & almond milk (50-50 mix)
    fresh fruit - blueberries, sliced peaches (frozen berries works well too - defrost first though!)
    golden syrup if I don't fancy fruit (1tbsp)

    I like to mix the oats 1:1 with water, microwave if for about 45 seconds, then add 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce. /sometimes I slice in a banana after that.

    no one has said that they add milk afterwards, this is what I have always done. Made with water, added milk after. Isn't it too dry?

    but is that after it has been cooked, or cooking it with milk?

    I cook my oatmeal with water, but then add a splash of milk afterwards. I usually eat it with frozen blueberries... I find they thaw out quickly and cool the oatmeal down just enough to eat.

    I also like to cook it with a few raisins sometimes, then add cinnamon and maybe a little brown sugar to the bowl.

    I've cut up half of a banana before as well, and this was quite tasty.

    I'm really wanting to try the overnight oats recipe for something different... May do that tonight for tomorrow's breakfast :)

    I chop half an apple down into bite-sized pieces, and add 1/2 tbsp light brown sugar and some cinnamon.

    Also, 1-2 tbsp of canned pumpkin, a little cinnamon and pumpkin pie spice.

    I'd think that many fruits would be awesome too. Pears, berries, etc.

    I recently switched to eating the oats dry, mixed with a Greek yogurt. I'm never going back, its my favorite snack.

    - 2 parts water, 1 part milk
    - Raisins
    - Chopped Banana
    - Bit of honey
    - Cinnamon

    Throw it all in, heat and stir it plenty to break up the banana. Amazing breakfast!

    I know it's common to make with water and add a splash of milk.

    I am thoroughly indulgent and make it with full fat milk, no water.

    Drizzle a bit of honey on top.

    Delicious, I feel no need to change it up.

    How does everyone think this will taste?

    -1/3 of a cup of oatmeal cooked with water
    -1/2 a frozen banana, chopped
    -2 strawberries, diced finely
    -1/8 of an apple, diced finely
    -1 tbs of 98% fat free mango yoghurt
    -3 almonds, grated or chpped

    mmm.... good? Too much?

    I never find this super food repetitive. I eat it almost every morning made with plain water. I add half a banana sliced up plus a few fresh strawberries or raspberries and a teaspoon of chia seeds.

    I eat oatmeal pretty much every day. I don't find it boring. I have 2 or 3 flavours at home, so I switch them around every day, and I'll throw in some fruit like a banana or apple or some complimentary nuts to add some more texure and taste. I make mine with water and I put in 1 tbsp of Chia Seeds to aid my digestive system :)
    I love oatmeal. !

    Can you cook up a bunch of it and leave it in the fridge and dip out what you need for the day? If so how long can it stay in the fridge?

    I like it simple. Steel cut oats, water, chia seed, ground flax seed, cinnamon, and PB2.

    I either eat flavored oatmeal or if its plain, add brown sugar or cinnamon, and sliced strawberries.
