    At the moment I'm obsessed with my patent pending PB&J porridge. 30g oats, 13g PB2, 200ml milk. Microwave (mine does it in about 2 mins 40), add 20g of jam. If I'm not cutting I'll have a larger portion.

    I also like it with dried fruit, honey and cinnamon. Banana and honey.

    And when the weather is too warm for hot breakfast I do overnight oats of all sorts. Usually some sort of fruit, Greek yoghurt/skyr and milk. Mango and coconut milk with the yoghurt is particularly delicious. I just use frozen fruit for this.

    Oh I adore PBJ in oats. I also love PB and SF maple syrup in oats.

    I can't do savory oats. The texture is off putting for a savory dish. I also can't do eggs in oatmeal, too eggy. I might be doing something wrong...

    For me, once I considered oats to be basically like rice, the world opened.

    I can't do risotto but love rice pudding for the same reason :/
    This viscous and soft kind of texture is associated with sweet taste in my brain for some reason and it feels "wrong" in savory dishes.

    Brown diced bacon in the pot before adding the oats. Remove the bacon (and pour off the grease). Add oats and black pepper and stir an egg into the water to cook. Serve with parm cheese and peas and bacon on top. Poached eggs bonus. Nice proteiny breakfast.

    Or: Cook plain oats in water with sliced mushrooms, bell pepper. Stir in diced pepperoni and shredded mozzarella and a little pizza sauce. Pizza oats. Optional poached egg on top.

    Savory oats forever.

    The budgetbytes.com website has a bunch of baked oatmeal recipes that are fabulous. I made the pumpkin pie one for this week, eat it cold like cereal in milk. I made the apple pie one last week and ate it warm with frozen yogurt. The funky monkey is probably my favorite though.

    I rotate oatmeal flavors, but in the fall I have pumpkin "fixin's" ready.

    Pumpkin steel cut oats - I take a can of pumpkin, mix in add Truvia and cinnamon (ginger & cloves if desired). Then split it between 6 of those tiny zip-lock plastic containers and freeze. I make my oats in a crockpot using 1/2 water and 1/2 milk (more protein). Store in the fridge. When I want pumpkin oatmeal I take out a zip-lock container the night before. Then I mix the thawed pumpkin mixture into the pre-cooked oats.....and warm. A splash of Coffee Mate Pumpkin Spice creamer is yummy (but optional).

    Yes I grate apples and add them into the mixture during the last 10 minutes. Then I add frozen blueberries or pomegranates to the HOT top with brown sugar and Irish butter. (Peanut butter is good on the top, but it's a trigger good for me, so I try to avoid it) ... add nutmeg and cinnamon to the top

    I was all excited as they she has great recipes but it's all in cups, measuring out in cups then adding to the recipe on the scale to get the weight is just more effort than I can be bothered with (first world problems right?). But now I'm on a mission for a British site that will offer up similar!

    I cook oats in water with a pinch of salt. For sweet, I like adding any or a combination of the following:

    -Pure Quebec maple syrup
    -Brown sugar
    -Blueberries/whatever fruit I'm in the mood for.
    -Sliced almonds
    -Unsweetened coconut

    For savoury, I like a combination of:
    -Onion powder/onion soup mix/dried fried onions.
    -Bovril
    -Parmesan cheese
    -poached egg on top.

    Did someone already mention chocolate? I needed a snack this afternoon. I prepared a package of Glutenfreeda oatmeal and threw in a small Dove chocolate. I loved watching the chocolate melt. :love: It was fantastic -- satisfied my chocolate craving/need and provided energy to get through the afternoon.

    A serving of oats with a pinch of salt, a couple teaspoons of honey, maple syrup, or brown sugar, a teaspoon of cinnamon, and some blueberries (fresh or dried) or raisins is great with a strong cup of tea (Earl Gray, hot).

    I also like to add a tablespoon plus of straight cocoa powder, a pinch of salt, a half teaspoon of vanilla, and 2 tablespoons of brown or white sugar.

    Thoroughly stirring an egg into either recipe is optional but adds some richness and protein. And it's tasty.

    No sure if I read all posts, but I think nobody mentioned baked oats.. So!

    1 cup of oats
    1 cup of almond milk (unsweetened)
    2 cups water
    1 shredded apple
    1 chopped banana
    1 tbsp cinnamon (or more if you're anything like me)
    1 tbsp agave nectar or maple syrup
    A few raisins

    Add everything in a heat resistant bowl. Mix well. Chuck in the oven. Stir every 10 minutes. Leave in for 30 minutes or until tender.

    THEN add a tbsp of peanut butter (100% nuts) and a handful of frozen raspberries on top.. Scoff!!!

    Your scale doesn't have an "ounces" setting? That's what I use when a recipe calls for cups...

    My favorite way to eat oatmeal is cook steel cut oats with water per package directions (usually 4:1 water/oat ratio). I prep several days worth at once since they take so long to cook...
    Then I top with a few slices of banana, 1/2-1T almond butter, lots of cinnamon and then 1/2 cup of mixed berries, usually blueberries and raspberries are my favorites!

    I've also recently tried egg white oatmeal which was good too. Old fashion oats, water and about 3-4 egg whites (these are added in the last few minutes of the cooking process) plus a splash of vanilla extract. They make a light, fluffy kind of oatmeal with a good amount of protein. They were good plain or topped similarly to how I do my steel cut oats.

    I've never had savory oats before but after hearing some of these recipes I think I'll have to try some out soon!

    It does but the same issue. Cups are volume. 1 cup of oats/whatever can really mean anything. I'm being pedantic but it annoys me!

    Best oatmeal ever: cook 40g steel cut oats with 250 ml of milk until it's nice and thick (less than 5 min). Stir in tablespoon of peanut butter. Serve topped with sliced banana and dizzle of honey. SO GOOD. Perfect breakfast for fall and winter.

    With almond milk, banana, strawberries and honey or a bit of cacao powder is amazing!

    I cook steel cut oats mixed with amaranth in my Instant Pot, makes enough for 4 breakfasts. Lovely taste, with Skyr or almond milk, blueberries, banana. Yum!

    I like overnight oats for work, with cocoa powder, banana, and peanut butter.
