I absolutly love oatmeal and have it for breakfast almost everyday. I thought it would be interesting to swap oatmeal ideas.

Here, I'll start:

1/3 cup instant oatmeal
1 cup vanilla flavoured almond milk
1/4 water
1 Tbsp flax seed
1 Tbsp all bran buds
1/4 cup of dried cranberries and walnuts.

Mix all together and microwave for about 2 minutes.

    Today I made steel cut oats per package direction(1 serving), stirred in a bit of canned pumpkin, vanilla, pumpkin pie spice, and brown sugar! Yummy! Sorry not a big measurer. The other day I mixed in a frozen 1/2 banana chunk(I save them for smoothies), quarter cup of frozen blueberries, tbs of finely chopped pecans, and a couple of teaspoons of sugar. I 've been playing around with my oats lately.
    Good Stuff!

    I'm an oatmeal addict :) Here's a snack I make up when I'm craving a 'treat':

    1/2 cup oatmeal
    1/2 cup kashi go lean cereal
    1 tbsp cocoa
    2-3 stevia packages or honey
    1 tbsp water
    1-2 tbsp of natural almond butter

    Mix all together and voila! You have a yummy crunchy oatmeal treat :) I sometimes heat it up for 30 seconds... Depends on the mood!

    1/2 cup porridge (sorry - I'm Scottish)
    semi-skimmed milk and water
    Microwave 1 min 30 seconds then add handful or blueberries or blackberries, a drizzle of honey and a spinkling of cinnamon.

    I can't get almond milk here, but I might try adding ground almonds tomorrow. Sounds delicious!

    My go-to oatmeal:
    1/2 c. oats
    1/2 t. cinnamon (or so, I never measure it)
    1 T. craisins
    1 T. brown sugar
    1/2 T. chia seeds (this is 1/2 of the scoop that came with the chia seeds.)
    1 T. chopped walnuts
    1 T. ground flax seed
    1 cup + a splash water
    tiny pinch of salt
    microwave 50% 3 min. 15 sec.

    The whole thing is 350 calories which is getting up there for breakfast but it has lots of fiber & protein so it lasts a long time.

    While it's cooking I empty the dishwasher!

    You can actually make almond milk very easily. There are a lot of youtube videos that cover it.

    My new favorite is savory oatmeal...

    1/2 cup rolled oats
    1 cup water or stock...and cook as directed

    Saute veggies in a nonstick pan (onion, bell pepper, mushrooms...)
    Stir veggies, 1T soy sauce, and a dash of sriracha hot sauce into prepared oatmeal
    Add a touch of shredded cheese and top with a fried or poached egg...YUMMY!

    I also like it with a heaping tsp of splenda and about a tablespoon of coffeemate light creamer...any flavor you like. Oh and walnuts or pecans (I'm kinda weird and need something crunchy in my oatmeal-I don't do mush.)

    I just discovered steel cut oats last year and I have fallen in love with them. The best part is I make a whole pot on sundays and portion out for the week. Then you can just heat and go. I just follow the package and toss in cinnamon, walnuts, almond extract, splenda brown sugar mix and dried apricots. yummmmmmy!

    I use steel cut too, just with cinnamon and agave to sweeten, but I like the pumpkin idea! Maybe with some vanilla almond milk for me.

    1/2 cup oats
    1 cup skim milk
    2 packets Equal
    1 tablespoon Hershey's Special Dark cocoa powder

    Add a small banana, if they are not too ripe (I HATE ripe bananas)

    YUM!

    I love oatmeal!! Mine isn't all that exciting. I just do some oats (I've been using Old Wessex organic? But I'm not picky about the brand), some cinnamon, half a scoop of chocolate protein powder, and a tablespoon of peanut butter. Yummy! If I don't do the peanut butter or protein powder, then I put in a small ripe banana or half an apple cut into small chunks.
