    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.

    Oatmeal with some cocoa, stevia (less processed than splenda) to sweeten it up, add peanut butter - mix together with a little water - you can heat it up or eat raw... :) YUM!

    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.

    WOW!
    Thanks everyone! I've got tones of new things to try now.
    I have to admit that I was going to just make cookies with them...LOL But now I've got a lot of "healthy" ways to eat them.

    My favorite is blueberries and cinnamon but I recently saw a post on MFP that I plan to try this week: Unsweetened coconut and 100% pure cocoa. Add splenda if desired.

    Bill Phillips has a cookbook called "Eating for Life" that has a recipe for chocolate oatmeal and it's not bad!

    1/3 cup Quaker Oatmeal
    1/2 cup Water
    2 tbsp Low Fat 1% Milk (I use more milk, less water)
    2 tbsp Smooth light peanut butter (I think I cut that in half)
    1 scoop Protein powder, chocolate flavor


    Directions
    Mix protein powder and oatmeal. Add water. Cook in micro-wave for about 1½ minute. Fluff the oatmeal, add milk and peanut butter.

    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.

    This sounds sooo good. Definitely going to try it.
