    I make a fruit smoothie in the morning and add 1/2c of oats. It makes me feel fuller longer. Totally works for me. All the benefits none of the flavor.

    I put a scoop of peanut butter in it.
    Also, cook banana slices or peaches in a frying pan with coconut oil and put it on top.
    Then pumpkin pie spice. So good.

    could be a repeat, but you can add:
    dark chocolate chips & peanut butter
    any flavor of jam
    bananas, brown sugar, cinnamon
    just brown sugar, or just cinnamon
    apples, brown sugar, cinnamon *yum*
    blueberries, strawberries, raspberries etc! These are great because they're still in season although ending soon

    I usually make 1 cup steel cut oats on the stove at the beginning of the week. Makes 4 servings.

    Some combos I like:

    Blueberry + coconut
    Peanut butter + banana
    Maple syrup (stirred granola in after reheating for some crunch)
    Also have heard of people mixing cold oatmeal with yogurt and fruit!

    This morning I added dark chocolate chips, walnut pieces, chopped nuts, dried cherries and salt. I topped with almond butter, quark and butterscotch syrup. Delicious!

    I usually use some combination of nuts, seeds, chocolate chips, spices and fruit. Always have it with quark and almond butter (a teaspoonful), and top with something sweet like jam, syrup, honey, etc. I used to always have it plain (cooked with water and salt), but I've developed a sweet tooth while dieting!

    All these ingredients are easy to go overboard with so I have to be careful with portion sizes (4 or 5 chocolate chips, a nut or two, a few seeds, etc.)

    I chop up some walnuts and add those and a handful of blueberries. That way you are getting a whole lot of good nutrition. I also do a sprinkle of cinnamon.

    Oats cooked in water then mixed with vanilla protein. After that I usually mix in some dried berries.

    When I get bored of oats with whatever fruit I have on hand, I have been known to make it a little different to mix it up: 1/2 c oats, tablespoon cornmeal for texture, one egg (stirred in while cooking), one tablespoon butter, black pepper to taste. Sometimes dandelion greens, generally only in the spring when they taste best though.

    I add peanut butter to mine and love it. Sometimes I also add nuts, cinnamon, raisins sometimes. I eat oatmeal everyday at work. Mainly with the peanut butter really. Keeps me full. I just Natural Peter Pan.

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

    oh that sounds interesting. I think I might try that. Yum thanks for the idea

    I always eat my oats cold in the summer.
    I mix them with a splash of water or a freshly squeezed orange and a load of low fat greek yogurt, top with frozen fruit and leave to soak overnight in the fridge. In the morning I'll add some pumpkin seeds or toasted almonds. It takes 2 minutes to prepare the night before and keeps fresh for a couple of days.
    I eat it nearly every day and don't get bored because I change the type of fruit and nuts. I sometimes add a scoop of vanilla protein powder if I need the extra protein.

    ½ cup steel cut oats
    ½ cup almond milk (unsweetened)
    ¼ cup blueberries (or any frozen fruit would be good)
    1 oz honey or sorghum
    2 oz greek honey


    I like overnight oats personally so I’ll mix up 4-5 mason jars at a time and throw in the fridge for at least overnight.

    I have oatmeal every morning. I prepare it as the directions say, on the stop top.My go-to is hemp hearts and a banana. Other variations: raisins, hemp hearts and cinnamon, hemp hearts and apples with cinnamon. Mmm!

    I usually add berries or dried cherries, cinnamon and almonds, but there are also baked oatmeal cup recipes online that are pretty awesome.

    Every morning, I take a scoop of my protein powder, one packet of Quaker original oatmeal, and just mix it all up in hot hot water.

    I go NOM NOM NOM and make a lot of mouth noises when I eat it.
