www.Skinnytaste.Com has some really good baked oatmeal recipes0

I usually make steel cut oats in my rice cooker, I like a heartier chewy texture that you don't get with the rolled oats. But I do use rolled oats for some things: baking, for one. I also mix them in raw with greek yogurt and peanut butter. For a while I was mixing them with canned pumpkin puree and sweetener and some yogurt and letting it sit overnight for a cold porridge, that was pretty good. Baked oatmeal is good too, but I rarely do it unless I'm making breakfast for company.0

I just made a breakfast coffee cake using cooked oatmeal from a recipe I found on pinterest. It turned out really really moist and delicious.. the only difference that I made was that I added a tbsp of flour to the topping to give it more of a crumb texture rather than the brown sugar just melting into the cake while it bakes. http://www.yummyhealthyeasy.com/2014/03/oatmeal-coffee-cake.html0

I tried steel cut oats, and I think I didn't cook them long enough. The directions said to cook for 15 minutes in the microwave but they were still really chewy and some bits were a bit crunchy and quite frankly it was disgusting. Not to mention the HORRIBLE bloating I got afterwards. I was at work and had to unbutton my dress pants just to keep from throwing up. Is it just a texture you have to get used to, or were they just not cooked enough?0 -
I am pretty sure you are talking about porridge
I have dried cranberries, gogi berries (they were on sale so I bulk bought, they taste of nothing) and frozen mixed fruit.. really tasty.
I am always on the look out for new dried fruit... Dried cherries were nice and I have some blueberries for next batch. I pre-measure it into the cutest little jars and line them up ready (it's quicker and prevents adding extra)0 -
Vanilla, berries of your choice, and a bit of sugar
Apples, raisins, and cinnamon
Peanut butter
Cinnamon, brown sugar, and a bit of cream cheese0 -
Are those uncle tobys sachets really that bad ? I love having them in the morning and I believe they sit at 133 call ea?0

Depends on my mood... Somemorning I just have 1 cup of fresh blueberries
Banana and 1/2 tbs of coconut oil
apples and cinnamon granola nuts0 -
C1C2C3 - you could add 3 tbs crushed hemp hearts to your bars - that would give you Protein. I buy them in Costco.
In my oatmeal I have 2 cups of frozen berries - blueberries, black berries, raspberries, cinnamon, crushed hemp hearts. It works out to about 440 cal.... BUT - I eat breakfast at 6 a.m. and it sticks to me so I can make it to lunchtime. I have used apple and banana also... but usually stick to the low glycemic fruits.
In reading the posts there are some good ideas... I am going to try the ginger in mine today.0 -
I add protein powder and my go-to's are:
- 1/3c canned pumpkin + pumpkin pie spice + 1 scoop vanilla protein
- 1 scoop chocolate protein + 1 banana0 -

I don't think you can really cook them well in the microwave. They do have a somewhat chewy texture and it is different if you're used to instant oatmeal, but crunchy doesn't seem right.0 -
Sweet, sweet sweet.
I'm saying try savory! I learned this from my Indian friends. After you cook it add salt and pepper, then add in cooked vegetables and curry powder! You can throw in some peanuts too.
We think that oats and oat meal has to be sweet but, it doesn't. Now, many folks would strongly disagree but, I think that rolled oats are very good when prepared as a savory rather than a sweet.
Let me know if you try it.0 -
I make mine as follows:
1/3 cup dry oatmeal
1 tbsp chia seeds
several shakes of cinnamon
1 scoop of vanilla vegan protein powder
(optional) swizzle (1 tbsp-ish) of honey
(optional) berries
Without the optional stuff it's 250 calories, 22 grams protein, 21 grams carbs, 4 grams fat. Don't let the smallish measurement of oatmeal fool you, once you add water and it gets soaked into the oats/protein it's a decent sized serving.0 -
Take your favorite flavored packet and re-create it with real ingredients. Use maple syrup, cinnamon, brown sugar, fresh berries, cream, bananas, etc. I used do that all the time when I switched from the packets to real oatmeal. And then I started mixing a combination of pecans, walnuts, almonds, craisins, dried blueberries and dried cherries into a canister. Put one tablespoon of that mixture in each serving of oatmeal. Yummy.0

hemp hearts...never heard of that. I will have to see where I can get it around here. Thanks!0 -
one scoop of Optimum nutrition whey protein powder(delicious strawberry,strawberry-banana & ice cream vanilla) mix in the oatmeal, thats about it lol best thing ever0

Usually 2 tablespoons of wheat germ, some almond milk, a little bit of honey and some cinnamon. Much less sweet than the packaged oatmeal that I used to love, but very tasty and the wheat germ adds a lot to the blandness of the oatmeal.0

I make my own "instant".
put quick cooking oatmeal into a food processor and pulse a couple times, don't pulverize it, just break it down a bit. Put a 1/2 cup into a baggie. Add any spices you like, I prefer apple pie seasoning. I also add 1 teaspoon brown sugar OR 1 tablespoon dried fruit.
To cook dump into microwave safe bowl and add 3/4 cup of water or milk and cook until done. It takes about 90 seconds in my microwave. Stir and eat.
I keep these at work and home. It's cheaper than the packets and I can make it to my taste.0
