      Talking about porridge, rather than oatmeal, but one or more of banana, cinnamon, honey, prunes, Apple purée, jam (in a real nursery breakfast mood)!

      I've been going for extra creamy so I've been cooking minute oats starting in cold water with coconut powder, raisins, and chia seeds. I add whey powder after taking it off the heat. This morning I also added about a teaspoon of buckwheat honey, a pinch of salt, and vanilla. I then mix in about a quarter cup yogurt.

      My additions by the way, give me higher protein content, loads of soluble fiber, and a little bit of iron.

      Fruit combos mostly (I prefer overnight oats~Something about cold oats in the summer is amazing). Some of my favorites are:
      -1/2 cup Blubberies + 1 TBSP of raisins + a bit of vanilla escence + 1 teaspoon of brown sugar
      - 1/4 cup of strawberries + 1/4 cup banana + 1 TBSP of unsweetened cocoa powder + 1 teaspoon of brown sugar
      - 1/2 a pear + 1 scoop of vanilla plant based protein powder + a bit of vanilla essence + 1 tsp of brown sugar

      Usually just a little salt...sometimes cinnamon but usually only in the winter. On weekends I will occasionally do a whole savory oatmeal thing...

      Just a few...there are so many awesome combinations of things when you start playing with it.

      My favourite is cinnamon, a little maple syrup and some almond butter!

      I add blueberries and honey. Every morning.

      Sometimes I add bananas when I run out of berries.

      Chocolate PB2 with tsp butter substitute and instead of all water to mix in I use half milk, comes out more like a no-bake cookie flavor

      To sweeten it, I usually add some fruit like raisins, Zante currants, or dried cranberries—or sometimes just a teaspoon or two of honey or demerara, or maybe brown sugar or maple syrup. Occasionally I add a bit of almond milk or cream. I've used PB2, and although it tastes fine sprinkled on oatmeal I don't care for it otherwise, so I don't really keep it around. Something I always have on hand though and almost always put in oatmeal (and on peanut butter toast and in salads and . . . wherever I can, really) is flaxseed. Oh, and walnuts or pecans are good sometimes too.

      Depends on what you consider healthy and delicious.

      If I'm eating oatmeal as a hot cereal: honey, white/brown sugar, maple syrup, sometimes milk

      Cold cereal: white sugar and milk

      What protein powders do folks recommend to add to oatmeal? Looking for something with no Stevia or artificial sweetners.
