How do you eat your oatmeal?

I've just us some to make some buns, small cakes to everyone else.

I eat my dry by the handful when I am driving in the car.

My kids like it with coconut oil, berries or bananas, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and a little brown sugar....or chocolate chips. Then, they have a lityle milk poured over it like hot cereal. Personally, I gag on oatmeal. I hate it, except in cookies. I found baked oatmeal to be a LOT tastier than the ploppy goop my kids eat. It's more cake like.

Good luck!

I am blown away at the many different ways to eat oatmeal. I have the 1 minute oats from Quaker. Where would I find steel cut?

sometimes they call it "irish oats" ... rather than the flat rolled oats appearance typical of 1-minute oatmeal, looks more like tiny rice granules.

I usually use a little bit of low cal liquid Vanilla coffee creamer.

Gluten free plain mixed with Pb2 and flax seeds

I am attempting to eat mine this morning and struggling...

I have some blueberries, cinnamon, and butter. It's not good. In any way.

What is a way to make it better, while keeping it healthy?

I add jaggery almonds raisins flax seeds milk in oats. Sometimes I add banana too

I eat it with sweetener and cinnamon, usually with an omelet and bacon on the side.

i love oatmeal but it never fills me/keeps me satisfied so i dont eat it... love maple brown sugar with walnuts/pecans or spiced apple.

Interesting thread. Never heard of overnight oats before.

I actually found this thread really interesting- oatmeal really only means one thing to me, and that's porridge.

I mix it with vanilla yogurt, cinnamon and let it sit overnight.

Mashed banana's, cinnamon, and peanut butter(tiny bit of nutmeg if im feeling fancy)... banana bread oatmeal.

Some mornings ill throw ham and eggs in the oatmeal also which sounds weird since we usually associate oatmeal with a sweet meal but its a pretty amazing combination.

oh my goodness i loveee oatmeal!! my favourites are:

fall/pumpkin theme
30g quick oats
75mL pure pumpkin
half an apple
cinnmon
nutmeg
ginger
stevia
maple flavoured syrup (walden farms 0 cal is what i use)
raisins (optional)
protein powder, i use unflavoured(optional)
1 tbsp chia seed (optional)

coconut/tropical theme
30g quick oats
protein powder (optional)
mangoes and/or strawberries
greek yogurt
coconut extract
unsweetened coconut shavings (better if you toast them)
stevia

basically i add coconut extract and stevia to the yogurt and add the yogurt mixture and coconut shavings on top of my oats. then throw in some fruit.

you can add cocoa powder for choco oats, pb2 for a peanut butter flavour. topping with 0 cal syrups is always good. zucchini can be used to add volume, egg whites are also good for volume/protein (id recommend egg whites to get your protein in if you dont use powder), mash up banana and add to your oats (this probably works for other fruits too i dont know?). if you want more flavours you can also go to myprotein and buy flavdrops, apparently theyre good.

I put dried fruit in mine, but I've always liked the taste of Quaker oatmeal since I grew up with it. I do love McDonald's oatmeal, as was mentioned earlier. Even with the sugar added it's only 290 calories, a perfectly good breakfast for most people's deficits and maintenances.
