    I add 1/2 c of boiling water to 1/2 c rolled oats and 1 tbs of Maple Syrup, then microwave it for 40-60 sec. so the oats are al dente.

    Then I add blueberries and a heaping tablespoon of vanilla greek yogurt..... so, so good! Some days I will use red raspberries instead and I'm in love with that too. I can't keep a constant supply of fresh berries in the house so another great substitute is dried cherries, they add a sweet/tart/chewyness.

    I blend 3/4 of a cup of oats and 1 scoop of whey protein and 3g of ground cinnamon then place the powder in a bowl and add 3oz of water to make a thick batter then cook it like a pancake.

    It's a little bit tougher then real pancake but taste good and very filling.

    I'm going to have to try that!!! Sounds good!

    Bananas are good, I also like apples in oatmeal with some cinnamon, and sometimes I will add a little bit of semi sweet chocolate chips in my oatmeal.

    I do a little vanilla extract while I'm cooking it. (Cook with half water half almond milk).
    Then I add a tiny bit of brown sugar and semi sweet chocolate chips once it's cooked and in the bowl (still hot/warm).
    Tastes just like Cookie Dough and under 300 cals!

    I share your love of oatmeal and have it every day for breakfast! I add PB2, unsweetened cocoa powder, almond milk and a tad of vanilla extract. YUM! On the weekends, sometimes i'll treat myself to carrot cake oatmeal. I add 5-6 ground baby carrots, cinnamon galore, almond milk, vanilla extract, raisins, walnuts and sometimes a bit of crushed pineapple. Holy moly is that good.

    Pineapple! That's what mine needed. Thank you.

    For a sweet tooth day, I'll do a neapolitan with a little vanilla in almond milk, chocolate protein powder mixed with enough water to make it a thin paste, and strawberries nuked until they're mush. Then swirl. Or sugar free horchata mix with extra cinnamon and whatever fruit I have on hand. Can't wait to see what everyone else does!

    Golden syrup is always a winner, but then that's an English thing, not sure on the availability outside the UK.

    You can mix half molasses half karo syrup, or you can find the real deal at Cost Plus with the rest of the import food.

    Any of the following or a combo of several:

    raisins, craisins, walnuts, pecans, banana, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, ground ginger, blueberries, diced apple

    Also I sub about 1/4 of the water for unsweetened almond milk which gives it a bit more of a creamy texture

    If you're looking for something not on the sweet site and you like spicy food- I mix 1/2 cup oatmeal with 1 hard boiled egg and 2 hard boiled egg whites and I mix my favorite hot sauce, fresh cilantro, salt, pepper, red pepperflakes to taste!

    My favorite is taking frozen berries and nuking them til they are bubbly, and then dumping that over my cooked oats. Its like berry cobbler. DELISH!

    I do almost the same thing. I add frozen berries, a bit of brown sugar and cream (or vanilla almond milk), and flax seed. I am going to start adding chia too.
