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

    I make my own instant packets: old fashioned rolled oats, some of those ground into powder, a tsp of Chia seeds, and then a tsp of brown sugar to each packet. I make some up plain, some with 1/4 cup raisins or other dried fruit, and sometimes 1 tbsp of sliced almonds. I don't care for milk of any kind, but I've seen recipes online where you add in either powdered milk or non-dairy creamer. And then when I want oatmeal, I empty the baggie into a bowl or mug and add hot water. Way better than anything I've tried commercially.

    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 make overnight oats--1/2 cup oats, 1/2 cup soy milk in a mason jar in the fridge overnight. In the morning, an extra splash of soy milk + berries--delish.

    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.

    I like plain oatmeal; it's just much tastier sweetened.

    Chef - can you advise on "baked oatmeal". You can bake in advance, add hot milk and it's a like more like oatmeal cookies. Don't have the recipe but it probably needs to be adapted for all of us.

    Healthy way I do is to cook with water the honey added, only about a tablespoon but it really tastes good with the oats. ... Unhealthy is cooked with half water, half milk and once cooked butter milk, brown sugar/molasses.

    Instead of using water I make mine with skin or almond milk. If I don't use the sweetened almond milk, I add brown sugar. Sometimes I add bananas or blueberries.

    I usually put cinnamon, strawberries, and bananas in mine. Sometimes I'll make overnight oats with almond milk and walnuts, or I'll do natural peanut butter with a banana mixed in
