I have been buying regular rolled oats for a while now and lately I have been adding 2tbsp peanut butter and some brown sugar. Any other ideas?

    I add egg whites to mine for extra protein, then top with strawberries, blueberries or jam (as mentioned before).

    Today I did a banana nut oatmeal. It's not that different, but it's tasty :)

    I added one banana, cinnamon, maca powder and lucuma powder in with the plain oatmeal and water. You can also stir in some unsweetened or vanilla protein powder if you'd like.

    After microwaving, I topped with walnuts, a drizzle of maple syrup and more cinnamon. Pumpkin pie spice would be yummy too!

    At the risk of this getting off on the wrong foot, have you compared the before-after on that amount of peanut butter? That's 200 calories for only 3-4g of protein. The oatmeal itself already has more protein than that, so it's not like you're solving a balance deficiency in the serving.

    Personally, I tend to go with blueberries and a little unpasteurized honey. And steel-cut oats, just because I find they're tastier and have a nicer texture (nutritional differences are too small to worry about).

    Cinnamon & raisins! Stir in a banana or cook apple pieces along with the oatmeal.

    Cook it with dried blueberry and cherry... The fruit rehydrates and adds a nice flavor and texture to it.

    I actually throw about 1/4 cup of a fruit/nut mix in mine. Adds crunch :)
