I like oatmeal cooked in half milk(cows/almond/whatever) and half water, honey or brown sugar, cinnamon, chopped apples, and walnuts.
Also, try taking raw oats and mixing with your favorite fruit yogurt and let sit over night in the fridge. Come morning it's delish!0 -
I eat this, and it's delicous and healthy.

Personally, I love oatmeal by itself, but I also add yogurt, milk, berries, grapes, peanut butter, maple syrup, nuts, bananas... really anything light and breakfasty can be tossed into oats and made hearty and good.0

I add chopped apples, cinnamon, half of banana, few chopped walnuts. Yum0

You could try making oatcakes? I've been making loads of different flavoured ones recently eg. Coconut, Raisins, Summer Fruits.
Here's a recipe if your interested for the basic version;
100g Butter
80g Demera Sugar (i use normal sometimes)
140g Oats
3 tbl spoon Golden Syrup (honey also works out quite nice)
1 - 2 tbl spoon Peanut Butter
And the fruit of your choice.
1. Mix the Oats/Peanut Butter/Fruit in a bowl
2. Melt the Butter/Sugar and Syrup in a pan
3. Combine everything in the bowl then pour it into a brownie tin
4. Cook on a medium to high heat in the oven for approx 25min
5. Check on it and increase time if needed.
6. Once cooked cool and serve.0 -

OP asked for appealing oatmeal recipes - no ingredient restrictions.

I'm okay with using butter and sugar in recipes. I figure it's better than using margarine and artificial sweeteners. Although I am unlikely to use butter and sugar for a breakfast recipe, would much rather have some ice cream after dinner0

I just started making overnite /crockpot steel cut oats. I use chia seeds and banana. Truly can add anything to yours, I was looking for lower cal/carb/sugar
1 cup steel cut oats
4 cups water
1/2 cup low carb vanilla milk (any milk will do)
1tsp banana extract (not necessary but I had on hand)
2 mashed mini bananas (find less waste since 1 reg banana is more than a serving size but for this recipe would be fine, I just had mini ones frozen on hand and my 2 mini's weighed 60g
1T chia for the extra goodies chia seeds pack and they expand (so ended up getting 5 not 4 servings and lessened the stats too!)
1/4 tsp salt (I used kosher)
1T butter (I used Shedds spread)
Sweetener (I used a few packs of sweet n low before I unplugged it for the nite)
PAM spray the crock, add ingredients. I cooked on LOW for 2 hrs then used keep warm for a few hours but truly could have shut it off and let it be till the morning
Made 5 servings of about 240 gm, 157 cals/26 carbs/6 g protein (can be frozen)0 -
I add chocolate protein powder and vanilla greek yogurt to mine and I love it!!0
-
I do overnight oats, too, right now, but served cold. It's kind of pudding-y.
Google "refrigerator oatmeal." There are a million different variations. Bonus: no cooking in the morning.0 -
i love oatmeal! i cook my oats in almond or soy milk and always mash half a banana into my oats to make it sweet. also, i have to have cinnamon in my oats (it makes them that much better). then i may top it off with a spoonful of peanut butter, or raisins, or honey, or fruits. :P0
-
a teaspoon or so of brown sugar, and let it melt. Delicious!0

OP never stated that it had to be healthy!!
None of those things do I consider to be unhealthy. JS0 -
I agree with the milk.. its the only way I will eat it.0

Some times i cook oats in a lentil soup instead of milk . It is a salty porridge,you can add blanched peas,some onion finely chopped carrot....

This is blowing my mind! I'll bet my kids would love to figure out flavor combinations too0 -
Try any of the peanut butter flavors here: www.theoatmealartist.com
I especially like the Salted PB/Chocolate Baked Oatmeal and the PB Cookie Baked Oatmeal. Deeee-lish!
(And she's vegan, if that matters)0
