oatmeal is fantastic no? i used to eat it daily - but i was having the 'sugar free' instant packets.
i recently switched to whole grain quick oats and mix a bit of my protein powder in there for flavor!
anyone else have yummy oatmeal ideas or creations?

I used to eat the instant kind as well but now eat steel cut oats with brown sugar.... YUM!! I can't eat the instant kind anymore it takes terrible after eating real oats!0

I know my husband likes to remake the oatmeal they sell at the coffee shops. He buys the dried fruit, nuts and brown sugar to add to it. I myself love adding hemp milk to granola and oatmeal (separately). It adds a really nutty quality that is new and refreshing to my palate.0

I am a fan of cooking old fashioned oats with some vanilla and cinnamon and adding unsweetened applesauce once it's done.
Guilt free apple pie

I like to make my porridge oats with cinnamon, mixed spice, raisins, and a wee bit of brown sugar. It's like have oatmeal raisin cookies for breakfast, but without being so naughty!0

Agreed! For a lazy way to make it...13 oz water + 1/2 c oats in the mini crock, two hours on high. We use a timer and it's ready to go for breakfast!0 -
Quaker Oats - Quick Cooking Oatmeal (Plain), 1/2 cup dry
Water - Municipal, 1 cup (8 fl oz)
Apples - Raw, with skin, 0.5 small (2-1/2" dia) (approx 4 per lb)
Generic - Ground Cinnimon, 0.25 Tablespoon (1/4tsp)
Splenda Packets - Sugar, 2 packet
Generic - Salt Dash, 1 dash
Silk Soy Milk - Vanilla Light 70 Cal Per 1 Cup Serving , 1 cup
Sometimes I use almond milk instead or Coconut milk..This is AWESOME as the oatmeal actually doubles in size!!
Mix Water & MIlk in saucepan, cut up apple into chunks & add to pan, add sugar, cinn & salt..Stir it all up. Heat on Med High heat for 20min, until apples soften. This is a Hungry Girl Recipe..LOTS of good ideas on there.0 -
I put maple syrup or normal syrup (just a small amount) and some chopped up pecans or almonds in mine, yum!0
-
Love my Oatmeal with Almond milk and some low cal cocoa mix (swiss miss is great, only 25 cal). Throw in some bananas too....
I know that Hungry Girl is a touchy subject around here but she has some Awesome Oatmeal recipes.0 -
and Gerber freeze dried fruits are great mixed into oatmeal too! Apples or Bananas with Strawberries. They are only 25 cal for 1/4 cup!0
-
This is funny because I was just taking a break and sitting here eating my packet of instant oatmeal and thinking "People actually like this?" lol I'll have to try your suggestions!0
-
In the fall especially I LOVE plain oatmeal with a scoop (about a quarter cup) of pumpkin mixed in and then add some cinnamon. NOM.
And if you have a Trader Joe's nearby, their heart healthy Cranberry Oatmeal is AMAZING.
and my saturday morning standby is plain oats + unsweetened vanilla almond milk + 1 tbsp peanut butter - the best!0 -
Love Oatmeal 2 but it tends to give me heartburn is that normal?0
-
My favorite oatmeal toppings are:
diced apple
walnuts
nut butter
raisins
slivered almonds
cinnamon0 -
I mix up my own multigrain porridge. Very, very tasty and a real change from plain oats.0
-
Is it just me, or does picture 3 above look like a pile of vomit on the right hand side? And picture 4 bears a striking resemblance to a dog poo on top? =/0

My dad makes porridge with a tablespoon or two of single malt whisky: just oats, water, whiskey.
Absolutely delicious with a splash of maple syrup on top.0 -
I LOOOOVE Oatmeal, but apparently I need to step my game up by sprucing up the plain oats or trying the steel cut, as I am currently a fan of the instant packs....especially the wild blueberry muffin. delish!! About to have a pack right now, with a banana!! I'm so excited! LOL (Who looks forward to oatmeal!? ...me!) LOL0
-
I like my oatmeal with a little cinnamon and some honey. Pretty tasty and not too sweet.0

OMG!! There goes the next 30 mins of my day *bolt* :laugh:0 -

i LOVE oatmeal- i eat the maple/brown sugar packets because when i try to make it myself i end up going way over the calories of the packet. i'm so used to making it with milk but it adds in so many calories, but i recently bought unsweetened coconut milk, and use that instead of milk. it only adds like 25 calories for a half-cup and some of the creaminess the milk adds is saved, and it's the PERFECT texture
...i'm hungry for oatmeal now
