    fried egg
    onions and mushrooms and green peppers
    cook in chicken broth and throw some carrots and chicken in

    Right on! I'm a fan of caramelized onions, curry powder, and raisins
    Also, olive oil, cheddar, and sea salt/black pepper

    Here are some good savory recipes: http://www.thekitchn.com/rethinking-oatmeal-7-savory-morning-recipes-177491

    i add peanut butter and brown sugar all the time. I put nutella or jelly in it too. Banana goes pretty well with any of those. Raspberry and nutella is pretty awesome. honestly I just throw in anything I have on had. If you really want to shake things up then make overnight oats. Put your oats in some yogurt and milk overnight and they get all soft and wonderful. and you can add anything you want to that too.

    Raisins - cook them with the oatmeal so that they plump up. Bananas, strawberries or blueberries are good too. Try maple syrup instead of brown sugar for a different kick.
    Yeah!!! Maple syrup - the real stuff!! Oh yummy!

    I love all the new ideas! I like chopped apples and walnuts, or banana and walnuts. Protein powder and whatever sounds good with it. I wondered if anyone had tried making the steel cut oats in the crock pot overnight. The stuff takes FOR-EVER on the stove.

    My understanding is that they come out really great in the crockpot.

    I like my cooked oats savory, so typically one or more of the following
    fried or poached egg
    a little butter or olive oil
    grated parmesan or other mild cheese
    almonds
    cooked beans or veggies (greens, usually)


    I saw someone say caramelized onions above. I hadn't thought of that, but it sounds like a great topping. Maybe I'll try the peanut butter, too, because I eat one that doesn't have sugar (personal taste preference), so that would be savory for me. Hmm, I wonder how tahini would be, or almond butter, or spicy peanut sauce (like the kind that comes on cold noodles in Chinese cooking) ....

    I save the sweet toppings for raw oats, usually plain yogurt and fresh or dried fruit, nuts, maybe some honey.

    I am hooked on the overnight oatmeal with peanut butter and banana with chia seeds and honey. Could have this for breakfast and lunch.

    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 buy steel cut oats (Bob's Red Mill) because I like the nutty flavor, plus the texture is better to me. I recently discovered I can get 4 for the price of 2 sold in the grocery store if I order them from Amazon (4 24-oz packs). I chop up an apple and add that after I cook the oats (I don't cook the apple). I've also chopped up a pear but prefer apple.

    Unsweetened cocoa powder, stevia, cinnamon, ginger, protein powder, pumpkin puree, fruit (apples, berries, bananas are my fav), flaxseed, chia seeds, coconut oil, unsweetened coconut flakes, grated zucchini (adds volume, you can't taste it!), egg whites, nut butters, any extracts, honey, greek yogurt

    I eat oats every morning and never get bored!! Now I could go for a bowl....
