    For flavour, I add a teaspoon of cinnamon to mine - I love the stuff. I've cut right down on sweetening so I just have two small teaspoons of Stevia. I also add 20g of pumpkin/sunflower/linseed and sesame seed mix for some Omega 3 and to give it a bit of "bite". Yummmmm...

    I take a cup of steel cut oatmeal add 2 tablespoons fresh ground peanut butter and 1-2 tsp of raw honey. Great right before a workout!

    i add (1) stevia packet, or 1/2 banana. But i prefer regular organic rolled oats.

    Stevia drops, or maple syrup if I want to use the calories.

    One tbsp crunchy peanut butter and two tbsp sugar-free blueberry or blackberry preserves, with about 1/3 cup of matching berries.

    Eat Oatmeal most mornings and the sky is the limit to what you can do to liven it up, while remaining healthy. Easy start is honey, peanut butter, cinnamon and bananas; however, i've used almost every kind of fresh fruit(lot of blueberries) and also a variety of nuts

    I heat up a banana on stove or microwave and mix it in with cinnamon and nutmeg. Then top it off with some almonds :D yum
    adding a smidge of salt will help! It can bring out natural sweetness!

    Usually honey and blueberries - frozen blueberries help cool it down quicker if it's too hot so I can scarf it down. Not that I'm always running late or anything.

    A scoop of protein powder and a splash of coconut milk is my go to base.
    A dash of cinnamon and/or some frozen blueberries are a nice enhancement as well.

    Chocolate chips sprinkled in but not stirred in once the rest of it is all ready.

    I'm with the others who suggested a pinch of salt if your diet allows for it. Not enough to taste salty, but salt increases other flavor sensations such as sweetness. I absolutely love oatmeal, even unsweetened, but never, ever without a little salt.

    I use sweetened almond milk in mine (in place of water) and it's only an extra 60 calories.

    I microwave mine with 1% milk and then add frozen blueberries. That cools it down and the juice of the berries will make it nice and sweet.
