    Here's what I did for my oatmeal this morning:

    40g oats
    1/4 cup canned pumpkin (Used Trader Joe's organic brand)
    20g raisins
    1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
    1/2 tsp cinnamon
    Stevia (I used about 1.5 packets, I put another 1.5 in my coffee)
    about 20g walnuts

    It was delicious. I've been trying to make my own pumpkin spice oatmeal but I think the raisins and walnuts makes it work better.

    I got a weird craving earlier...Made a serving of my peanutbutter out of peanut flour....And stirred in uncooked oats. Was yummy. Helped with my peanutbutter oatmeal cookie craving.

    Was realizing was likely this thread that made me crave that lol.

    Another savory oat recommendation. Steel cut oats take a little more time than rolled oats but taste better and have texture. Try adding bouillon, or even better cook with (home made <3 ) stock instead of water. Pick one or more from list below to try;
    • Sautéed onion, celery, and (hot?)peppers
    • Garlic (roasted?)
    • Sausage
    • Ham
    • Bacon
    • Shrimp
    • Cheese, various types
    If you live in the South think of oats like grits. Think of scrapple, pan haus, or goetta if any of those are familiar.

    My current favorite sweet adds are dried blueberry and dried montmorency tart cherries because I recently bought each in bulk.

    I but cheap plums or rhubarb once a week and stew them gently in the microwave with a small amount of vanilla sugar. Takes 20 mins max. Then decanted into sterilised jars and used with the oatvrab. I also mix some with yoghurt and freeze for low fat puddings...

    Add some grated parm to this and it's my husband's favorite breakfast.

    Raw honey, cinnamon, vanilla and fresh ground nutmeg are my stand bys. Slightly sweet and the cinnamon and nutmeg make anything taste great

    I'm not a sweet oatmeal person either. I just stir in a tablespoon of chia seeds into my old fashioned oats near the end of cooking and then put a half a tablespoon of Kerrygold butter on top.

    A tablespoon of natural peanut butter (such as Teddie brand or Smuckers), and a handful of fruit - I usually do either raisins or blueberries for higher protein & fiber. Lately i've been "converting" Bob's Red Mill Strawberry Apple Granola into oatmeal, by heating a half cup of it in a half cup of unsweetened coconut milk and a small handful of blueberries.

    I like to add berries. Whatever I have on hand at the time (blueberries, strawberries, blackberries etc). I also add a half a banana if I want extra sweetness. Chopped Walnuts are also very tasty. A splash of milk helps make it not so gummy/thick after its been cooked.

    I like savory oatmeal! Soy sauce, sriracha, scallions, and a sunny side up egg. And when I want something sweet: peanut butter, chocolate, and berries. :)

    I use steel cut oats and make a savory side dish occasionally for dinner using things like mushrooms and onions. It is a nice change from potato, rice, pasta, of which I eat 1/2 cup every night. Steel cut oats are good for breakfast too, but do take longer to cook. I like adding orange juice and orange zest.
  • I usually add cinnamon and a mix of flax, chia, and hemp seeds in mine. Then I add whatever fruit happens to be in season. My favorite is thinly sliced frozen banana and some cocoa powder.

    I've been consuming "porridge" daily since January 2011. Consists of oatmeal, flaxmeal, craisins, walnuts or almonds, and cinnamon. Almond milk on top.
