oatmeal

When my bananas start to brown at home I freeze them then in the morning with my plain oatmeal I stick the whole banana in the microwave for about a min. Then let it sit while i nuke the oatmeal. When thats finished I peel the banana and let in fall in the bowl then chop/mash it up. The natural sweetness from the banana is perfect.

I add cinnamon too ! It makes it soo good! I add a little bit of of splenda also

I like to add just a bit of butter and a pkt of splenda. It is so yummy.

Frozen berries mixed in before you cook your oatmeal add a nice amount of sweetness, too. To "acquire" a taste for oatmeal (I used to HATE it), I used to add not-so-much water and make it the consistency of oatmeal cookie dough. I also added Splenda, but after a time didn't even need it. And now I'm addicted to oatmeal with berries and walnuts. No sweetener. It's what gets me out of bed in the morning. )

Do you like Peanut Butter?? I recently discovered Peanut Butter Oatmeal and I'm in LOVE. I make the oatmeal with honey (you can also use splenda which is equally good), I put raisins in it and water, of course. I nuke it, then put a Tbsp of peanut butter with a splash or two of soy milk and it is wonderful! (In my opinion

Sounds yummy!:happy:

You can put pretty much anything in oatmeal to change it, but I find after so many days of doing that, it's still JUST oatmeal. Why not try switching it up for different hot cereals like red river, cornmeal, millet or creamed wheat?
My latest addiction is actually steel cut oats rather than the everyday rolled oats. Yes, it takes longer to cook it but it's so worth it. It's less processed and full of goodness, plus I find it has a bit of a sweeter taste than regular oatmeal. I don't put any sweeteners in it at all, just a small hand full of blueberries. yummy...

I used whole oatmeal and put it in the microwave for about 1 min. 45 sec. Then add a little milk, cinn. and brown sugar, and some chopped walnuts, or splenda in place of the brown sugar.

frozen fruit. You can get fruit mixes (berry blends or strawberries and peaches) or single types of fruit in the freezer section. They keep a long time and you can just add it to your oats before you microwave them. Blueberries turn it a very pretty color imho.

Steel cut oats are way more delicious! I completely agree. Fresh fruit does this trick. To avoid having to slave over the stove to cook them in the morning, I make a bigger batch and freeze a few portions! Makes all the difference when I can just throw it in the microwave.

yummmmm! Steel cut oats for me too and I put mine in the slow cooker at night, turn it on low when I go to bed and in the am it is ready to eat. Add what ever goodies you want at the same time as you turn on the slow cooker. google slow cooker steel cut oats for the exact measurements of liquid to oats.

I also add a packet of Splenda and some cinnamon. Adding a little bit of peanut butter gives it a great flavor. There's pretty much almost anything you can do to plain oatmeal, whether it's adding fruit or cinnamon or Splenda...or butter, apparently.

Add two parts oatmeal and one part cream of wheat for a creamy great tasting dish. Then sweeten and/ or garnish as desired.

Have you tried Baked Oatmeal? It's a different texture. It's my favorite. I'll make it on Sundays and it will last me all week.

USE APPLESAUCE TO MAKE IT THICKER!!! mmm. delicious.
