Why is oatmeal

I cook mine then mix it with a little coconut milk/cream and sweeten with either honey or natural palm sugar. The coconutty flavor makes it taste delicious.

Oatmeal gives me FREAKY BAD heartburn. I can't eat it very often.

I love it! But only when cooked with part milk, part water and a banana. If I don't have a banana then it's a really tough eat! Peanut butter or brown sugar also go well.

I love oatmeal! I've never had an oatmeal I didn't like. Sometimes I just need more flavor, though.

Recently I've been eating a "raw organic multi-grain oatmeal" (with flax and quinoa) and it's delicious. Comes in two flavors that I've found--Cinnamon Plum and Chai Spice. They're delicious and not too high in sugar.

Alternately, a little honey, some fruit, or a protein powder that you particularly enjoy are all great ways to make oatmeal taste sweeter and more flavorful. When I was working out hard every day, last year, I would have an envelope of plain instant oatmeal (I was in a place where high-quality oatmeal wasn't really available) with a half-scoop of vanilla protein powder every morning as a post-workout meal.

You can also grind it up and blend it into a smoothie or protein shake--There's a smoothie bar at my gym that does that, and it's really good. Makes the smoothie very satisfying.

Love oatmeal...1/2 old fashioned oats has 5 grams of protein to keep a body going. I do the overnight method with no cooking involved.

1/2 cup oats
1/2 cup milk
3 oz Dannon fit &light banana cream
2 tbls PB2
mix, cover, set on counter overnight. Stir eat.

I eat at room temperature but can be heated up.

Yum Yum

Steel oats with prunes cooked in the crock pot overnight. Serve with milk on it in the morning is delicious.

My kid swore he would never like oatmeal, now he asks for it every morning. I put 1/3 cup of oatmeal
with almost a cup of water in a bowl (not instant oatmeal) and microwave it for 2 min. I let it sit for a
couple minutes for the water to finish being soaked in but while it is doing that I add 1 1/2 Tablespoons
of peanut butter. I stir it up and then add 1 tsp of brown sugar on top. It might
sound gross but it is very good. I used to laugh at my hubby for eating PB with it but now I love it too. It keeps your hunger
satisfied for hours and gives you lots of energy.

oatmeal with a bit of brown sugar, cream, and raisins = delicious.

oatmeal plain = disgusting.

In other words, oatmeal is just a convenient (and relatively healthy) way to get full while eating other stuff that tastes good.

Sort of like popcorn. It's the vehicle for salt/butter - or sugar - or cheese powder - or whatever you put on it...

I hated all oatmeals until I undercooked it with peanut butter and chocolate protein power. Now it tastes like and has the consistency of a chocolate no bake cookie. Totally yummy!! High in calories though : )

Wait! You leave yogurt and milk out on the counter overnight?
Please say you mean in the fridge.

I had a bowl of rolled oats this morning, cooked in water. Mixed in two tbsp of finely ground walnuts, topped it with an egg over easy. It tasted really good and I didn't miss the butter and brown sugar at all . . . well, much anyway. *sigh*

Not of fan of oatmeal, as my mom would cook it on the stove in a slimy mess with raisins.

My favorite way to eat oats now is this:

1cup dry oatmeal
1 cup peanut butter
1 cup firmly packed brown sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup chocolate chips

drop by spoonfuls on a baking sheet and bake at 350 for 13 minutes.

You are welcome!:drinker:

Part of my breakfast almost every day (perhaps all but 2 days a month).

1 part Old fashioned oats with 2 parts water. A few minutes in the microwave. Top with fresh berries and a little milk. (I stir in some protein powder into the milk on lifting days. Lastly I put on a spoonful of flax seed.

Can't get enough of it.

Mmm, steel cut oats with a pat butter and some brown sugar (or honey)!! Simplicity in it's most delicious form!

1. Never EVER use instant. Traditional oats only

false. instant oatmeal is all i ever use, and i love it.

I'm so glad I'm not the only one! I love the instant kind, with water even. I like the rolled kind too, but only with a buttload of sugar added and its not worth the trouble.
