What do you put in your Oat meal?

my favorite thing to put in oatmeal is QUINOA! It's better protein and low glycemic and tastes just as good.
A nice mix of steal cut oats & quinoa is great...toss is some soy milk, flax/chia seeds, unsweetened chocolate, agave or truvia and top with chopped walnuts. Pumpkin pie spice is also great in there! It might sound weird, but sometimes I stir in baby food, like bananas or some greek yogurt or protein powder. Toss in whatever you like! PS You can also add pudding mix... i use sugar-free chocolate pudding mix all the time to make it taste more chocolatey

PB2 is also great..its powdered peanut butter and has a lot less fat/sugar than the regular stuff... stirs in better and works great in protein shakes too.

I prefer steel-cut oatmeal to other kinds (though I'll eat the other kinds just fine, too.) When it's cooking, I make enough for a week. I put in some real vanilla extract and some "baking spice" (all purpose spice mix of cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, allspice, etc.) It reheats just fine.

While I find it doesn't need anything, sometimes I put on a splash of rice milk. Or, alternatively, I put on blackstrap molasses, which I don't exactly love, but I do it anyway, as it's a great hit of iron and calcium. I like to think the oatmeal covers up the taste of the molasses.

I too was looking for a way to like oatmeal and a friend gave me her recipe...I eat it every day either for breakfast or lunch and love it!

1/2 c old fashioned oats ( I like to use the 1 minute kind or the reg and just blend it a bit first for a better consistency)
1 c skim milk
cook in saucepan for about 10 minutes until thick and creamy
1 T promise light margarine
1 T sugar

Super yummy!

yogurt, raisins, almonds, coconut, brown sugar, banana, maple syrup, mixed nuts and berries. I like this idea of peanut butter ...

I put wheat germ in my oatmeal and yogurt. Yummy and increase your fiber intake

I have been obsessed with oatmeal! I make plain instant oatmeal with water (a little less than suggested, because i don't like soupy oatmeal), and then I add a little bit of almond breeze vanilla almond milk, a little bit of honey, and depending on my mood i'll either add crushed peanuts, sunflower seeds, or sliced almonds. It lacks sweetness because I don't add a ton of honey but it tastes absolutely delish!

PS- all these other variations sound awesome! I may put apples and cinnamon in mine once the really tasty ones come in the fall.

I saw a recipe the other day that I really want to try, but I haven't gotten around to. Make steel-cut oats and then top with a 1/2 c of caramelized onions and some feta cheese. It sounded delicious. I haven't tried it yet because I've been eating mine cold, and this would be something better with hot oats.

Right now, I'm doing overnight refrigerator oats with steel-cut oats, vanilla almond milk and 1/3 of a container of Kroger carbmaster vanilla chai yogurt. I've found it's better if it sits for about 15+ hours with the steel cut oatmeal. Then I just throw a handful of blackberries and raspberries on it and eat it cold. It's creamy and tasty. It's about 220 Cal. It's still a little heavy on the carbs, but it's decent on protein and just enough fat.

I love oatmeal but I like it more with flavor. To obtain a more flavorful breakfast I use Smuckers Sugar Free Low Calorie Breakfast Syrup. 1/4 cup is only 20 calories. You only use MAYBE 1/8 of a cup so it's a great addition to flavor your oatmeal.

My favorite things to put in oatmeal are sugar (or Truvia, since it tastes the same:) and cinnamon. It's a great way to get my "sweet" for the day, since I have an awful sweet tooth! Apples are also really good in oatmeal. Oh, and if you get tired of oatmeal, try cream of wheat with some sugar in it. It's really tasty

peanut butter, flaxseeds, bananas - nyom!
