    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.

    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.

    Bananas, berries, peanut butter, honey, brown sugar, protein powder.

    Not all of those at the same time, though.
