What do YOU put in your oatmeal?
Replies
-
I always add a tablespoon of peanut butter. And then to that, either a bit of cinnamon or baking cocoa. The second kinda makes it like a no bake cookie.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.0
-
Sugar free maple syrup and 1 tsp. of reduced fat p.butter0
-
sugar & margarine - sure see some interesting choices here; some I might try. I'm really about keeping it to the basics0

I also am trying to wrap my mind around putting eggs in my oatmeal.....like....do you take the eggs and scramble them and add them? Or add the oats? It just doesn't make sense in my head lol
I tried adding some protein powder to my oatmeal and it was pretty good. I use unsweetened almond milk to cook it...and add either berries or bananas...and if it needs a little bit more sweetness, I put a teaspoon of agave nectar in.0 -
you can add chia seeds for protein and omegas with negligible calories. I add a splash of milk and a tsp of brown sugar, cinnamon and sometimes walnuts . Also I mix it up using steel cut oats instead of the flat oats YUM0

I am trying to get myself to eat oatmeal, but I can't get past the texture of it. I will try some of the suggestions here and see what happens
Any ideas (other then adding nuts) that makes it overall not too mushy?0 -
Such yummy ideas..and i was stuck with boring pb and cashews in oatmeals0
-
I put non-dairy creamer (did that by accident thinking I was using sugar), a handful of dried cherries, dried cranberries, almonds, walnuts and pecans, and a tablespoon of brown sugar. No butter, no milk0

I use the quaker oats from the big container, I cook mine in the microwave for one minute. Stir and then for another 30-45 depending on how much water I put in. Comes out perfect.0 -
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

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 -
I put blueberries, flaxseed, walnuts and cinnamon. Good start to the day.0
-
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
