What do YOU put in your oatmeal?
Replies

I put in blueberries or mixed berries and a serving of source yogurt (35 cal) and change it up with the different flavors. It is really yummy.0
-
Peanut butter, a tablespoon of SF vanilla pudding mix and a tablespoon of chocolate chips!! (But not now because I gave up chocolate for Lent).0
-
Brown sugar and some raisins0
-
Ahh, I love the SF pudding idea.0
-
Protien powder, strawberries, and a little honey. Yum! I eat that almost everyday for breakfast.0

I cook a batch and then reheat portions throughout the week. When I reheat the oatmeal in the microwave I add baby spinach, an egg, and breakfast sausage link. I mix it all up (breaking up the sausage link too) and add hot sauce and soy sauce.
Make a batch of steel cut oats. I just follow the direx on the container. Store in fridge.
When I want breakfast I take a microwave safe bowl (not plastic) and put in a layer of baby spinach leaves. Then I plop a scoop of cooked oatmeal (1/2-3/4 cup). Then I smush down the oatmeal to make a little well for the egg. I crack the egg into the well and poke the egg to break the yolk (so it won't explode). I throw in frozen Jones natural sausage link. Sometimes I put another plate on top as a lid. Sometimes I don't. Then I cook on medium power for a few minutes. (You will probably need to experiment with cooking times & power. Beware, eggs can explode.)
Take out bowl and just mix up everything. I break up the sausage link and mush that in. I also like to add some soy sauce (or Bragg's aminos) and some hot sauce.
I don't always use the sausage link. I have used broccoli instead of spinach.
I was inspired by this: http://www.seriouseats.com/recipes/2009/01/mark-bittmans-savory-oatmeal-with-scallions-and-soy-sauce-recipe.html0 -

1 tbsp of peanutbutter and one sliced bannana.0
-
Ground flaxseed0

I want to know how you cook the oatmeal in the slowcooker (enough for the week)? Please let me know this would really be a lifesaver for me. THANKS!0

I must be really old schol I use a pat of butter, skim milk and brown sugar, works for me.0
-
I add 1/4 cup of almond or soy milk, a half cup of blueberries, strawberries, or blackberries (and sometimes all three mixed together!), and then a mix of cinnamon and nutmeg. I have it almost every morning, unless I am eating Kashi cereal instead! It really fills me up and gets me through the morning, until I can have a break at work to eat a piece of fruit.0

I make Tosca Reno's clean eating oatmeal and cut it into 9 squares and then Hubby and I just reheat a piece each am.
Tosca Reno Caledon (Baked) Oatmeal
2 cups old fashioned oats
2 cups skim milk
1/2 cup cranberries
1/2 cup slivered almonds
1 tsp vanilla
4 tbsp maple syrup
1 macintosh apple grated with skin on
reheat overn to 400F. Coat a large 3qt casserole dish with cooking spray.
Combine all in bowl.
Place mixture in casserole dish. Bake uncovered for 45 mins at 400F.
I cut mine into 9 pieces and that works out to 190 calories per slice.0 -

Or just make the steelcut oats ahead of time on the stove (approx 45 mins cooking time) and store in 1/2 cup servings in the fridge. Add a little milk to re-heat in the microwave when you want to eat it, toss on your toppings of choice, and enjoy!0 -
Natural peanut butter, honey, and vannila soy milk. Its like desert!0
-
If I'm keeping things simple just a teaspoon of sugar or brown sugar. Otherwise I love putting in fruit (I like fresh better but sometimes that's not possible, but frozen works too.) Blue berries, strawberry, grany smith apples are my favs. I hear some great things about peanutbutter but still haven't tried that.0

I stewed some cranberries and then added to my oatmeal and added flaxmeal. Deliciousl!0

i USUALLY ADD 1 tbsP OF jELLY ( BLACKBERRY OR RASPBERRY)0
