    I add whatever is lying around. This week it's leftover cranberry sauce from Christmas and walnuts. Sometimes it's pecans and raisins. Sometimes blueberries and almonds.

    I use the "instant" stuff (Quaker, store brand, whatever) and will usually start with one pack of the "regular" (nothing added) and add in a pack of some kind of flavored. But I will often add some non-dairy creamer (sugar-free & flavored) - like vanilla caramel, hazelnut, whatever. And often for that touch of sweet - some smucker's sugar-free breakfast syrup (or store brand sugar-free maple syrup)... Or sometimes use pumplin pie spice (cinnamon, nutmeg, etc.) or just cinnamon...

    I make mine with 1/2 cup old-fashioned rolled oats + 1 cup unsweetened almond milk + cinnamon. Then I add 2 tsp. almond or peanut butter OR 15 stevia-sweetened chocolate chips and fresh fruit, such as a banana or strawberries. Sometimes I'll also throw in some dried fruits, nuts, and/or seeds.

    Not much of a sweet person - chicken or pork - bouillon, nuke it 1 minute and bam - savory oatmeal for you there!

    i like the sound of that. gonna have to try it out.
    i also add oatmeal to my protein with frozen berries and just enough water or almond milk to make a pudding like consistency

    Right now I'm eating 39g (dry) of quick oatmeal with diced apple, cinnamon, ginger and ground clove with 1/2 c whole milk and 1/2 c water. It tastes like apple pie. :love:


    ETA: and 8g of white sugar. . . because it's damn delicious!

    A tablespoon of Nesquik powder to plain flax oatmeal. Mix it all up while it's dry, add banana after it's soaked up the water. Delicious contradiction...

    I make one cup of Old Fashioned Quaker Oats in two cups of water. Then add 1 or 2 soft boiled eggs after it is cooked. And sometimes it is just plain old oatmeal with nothing else.

    I gotta think about trying this...not sure how the flavors would meld though *thinking face*

    These are my favorite Oatmeal add ins:

    Yogurt, raspberries, and a sprinkle of slivered almonds.
    Pumpkin puree, raisins and pumpkin pie spice.
    Applesauce, cinnamon, nutmeg, raisins and a little banana.

    Don't forget about overnight oat recipes either! I think that gives oatmeal a while different taste. And Happy Herbivore has a great oatmeal pancake recipe, check it out!
