    Overnight oats! I do 1/4 cup quick oats, 1/2 cup plain kefir (it's a kind of pourable yogurt if you're not familiar- you can get it anywhere,) 2 tablespoons of sugar free jelly (any kind) and a tablespoon of almond butter. :)

    Awesome, never thought about Kefir added to it. :) Sounds tasty!

    Check out Hungry Girls blog...has some good ideas (Growing oatmeal is one I've been making a lot of) & this week she put out a blog with a bunch of add in ideas. Search her site under Oatmeal.

    I also use Torani/DaVinci coffee syrups, love the banana in my oats. Small (mini) box of raisins is my new add in , and just started adding some canned pumpkin (HG blog idea).

    Carrot cake oatmeal!

    I made some carrot cake bites last night, and thought hey, why not have something similar for breakfast?!

    Oats, grated carrot, walnuts, raisins (though I didn't have any, so used dried figs instead) and mixed spice... so delicious.

    When I get on an oatmeal kick I make a big batch of my own steel cut oatmeal, and then i separate it into single servings using a muffin pan and plastic wrap. I put the whole muffin pan in the freezer, and then take them out and put all the individual servings into a big ziplock bag. In the morning i microwave it, removing the plastic wrap after like 45 seconds and continuing to microwave. I put a little bit of peanut butter, brown sugar and raisins. Its super delicious and you can control how sweet you make it.

    Ooh I love oatmeal. It's my favorite breakfast. So yummy and keeps me full for hours.

    My favorite is to cook oats on the stove with 1/2 milk and 1/2 water. When it's starts to thicken, add in half of a mashed banana and some cinnamon. Pour into a bowl and drizzle with honey and top with the other half of the banana sliced and a few chopped walnuts.

    Also, check out theoatmealartist.com. She has a bunch of oatmeal recipes. Everything from stovetop to overnight oats to baked oatmeal.

    Nutritionally, oatmeal is very sound depending on how it is made, they type and so forth. Does anyone have experience with it as a pre-work out carb?

    I can't eat oatmeal before a workout or very bad things happen. It's too heavy I guess.

    Cake Batter overnight oatmeal from Dashing Dish. Legit tastes like licking a bowl of cake batter.
    If you like the ooy gooey texture just start researching overnight oat options...youll get the taste/texture you love.
    But seriously...make the cake batter one NOW. It'll change your life!

    I did. We must not make our cake the same way because it didn't taste at all like cake batter.

    Although to be fair I didn't use butter extract, but vanilla extract, as I have yet to find any butter extract.

    I added a scoop of vanilla protein powder to mine this morning, along with some blueberries. Reminded me a lot of the sugary stuff.

    I tried it this way this morning also. Question...Did you cook your oatmeal first? The protein powder seemed to thicken it up too much. Thinking I should just eat oats raw with pp and blueberries?!

    Old Fashioned Quaker Oats (or sometimes Bob's Red Mill), 1 tbsp natural peanut butter, maybe a few walnuts, some chia seeds and always a banana. :)

    I make plain oatmeal and add banana and peanut butter or almond butter. No added sugar. No added spices. I do use almond milk, but only unsweetened.

    Banana + Maple Almond butter is really good added in. Plenty of sugar in those toppings.

    I use plain oats with milk and cook for about 3 mins in the microwave. Then once cooked I stir in a squeeze of golden syrup. It doesn't add that many extra calories and is yummy!

    Mmmmm! Sometimes cinnamon and raisins, or cinnamon and apple. Banana and nuts and shredded coconut.
