I love oatmeal but the only good way I know to eat it is with sugar and butter. I know that both of these are unhealthy. So I was wondering if any of you had any healthy suggestions to add to oatmeal to add flavor. I know of people who eat it plain but I like some sort of flavor to it. So if any one has any suggestions I'd appreciate it.

    I have to add a little brown sugar to my oatmeal too! Sometimes I add in some walnuts, raisins or cinnamon too.

    My wife loves it with syrup, probably not the healthiest either, but I suppose it depends on the kind of syrup you get.

    I put it on top of yogurt. I have also ground it up in my blender and used it as flour in pizza dough, usually about 1 cup of the 3 cups of flour I would usually use. I love oatmeal too. Also, you can make homemade granola, very good.

    I did it with a tbsp of peanut butter and a scoop of chocolate whey the other day. It was sort of ok, sort of weird. I still haven't decided if i really liked it. Usually i have it with a tbsp of peanut butter + a tsp of sugar, and take the whey drink on the side, but the (artificial) sweetener in the whey powder mixed in with the oats made it sweet enough.

    I pop in some frozen fruit after the oatmeal is done cooking. So far I've tried blueberries, sweet cherries, and marionberries. So good! The marionberries taste like I'm eating a cobbler. It's also yummy with some apple, cinnamon, and nutmeg mixed in. I don't even use anything but oats, water, and fruit. I haven't gotten board with things, yet!

    I like my oatmeal with a spoon full of applesauce and some cinnamon. A table spoon of jam or almond butter is good too.

    Little bit of peanut butter, honey and banana. I also like to add canned pumpkin, cinnamon and brown sugar. Or, unsweetened apple sauce. I have also switched to steel cut oats, which are so much tastier than rolled oats!

    I love oatmeal. I use steel-cut oats, cook with water, egg whites, cinnamon and splenda, chop some apple up and toss it in, and when it's done, sprinkle with a little ground flax seed and chopped nuts like walnuts or pecans. Very well-rounded, filling meal. I've never had it with butter???

    Try adding different types of fruit... bananas are my favorite and I also like blueberries.

    I like to put a tablespoon of craisins and 2 teaspoons of flax seeds in my quaker minute oats with 1/2 water and 1/2 milk substitute. It's yummy and has lots of textures.
