    Apple Cinnamon: Add chopped apple or a few teaspoons of natural, unsweetened applesauce to oatmeal and cook. Sprinkle with cinnamon.

    Maple & Use sugar-free pancake syrup and a dash of cinnamon or artificial

    Brown Sugar brown sugar replacement that is now available.

    Fruit & Cream: Add a little milk or vanilla protein powder and a few strawberries or blueberries to oatmeal or mix in a teaspoon of sugar free preserves.

    Maple Walnut: Add 1 tbsp sugar-free pancake syrup and a few chopped walnuts.

    French Vanilla: Add 1 tsp vanilla, a splash of low-fat milk, and a packet of Splenda.

    Cinnamon Raisin: Try using a few dashes of cinnamon, a splash of sugar-free maple syrup and a teaspoon of raisins instead of flavored packets.

    Protein Boost: Stir in 1 scoop of your favorite protein powder.

    Butter Pecan: Add a splash of imitation butter flavor, teaspoon of butter substitute or a few dashes of Butter Buds and a teaspoon of chopped pecans.

    I love to put both peanut butter and honey in mine.

    That sounds really good.

    I love to eat my oatmeal (steel cut, please!) with some shredded sharp cheddar, fresh ground pepper, and a poached egg. Fills me up like nothing else does!

    This sounds interesting.... Might have to try this one!
    I like Oat Revolution instant oatmeal. It is good and has like seeds and stuff in it for extra fiber

    Depends on the flavor I'm eating, which is usally always Mayple and Brown Sugar, so i usually add raisins, cinnamon, and milk.

    Steel oats, 1/2 mashed banana, 1/2 tsp vanilla, pinch of cinnamon and pecans. Microwave for 2 1/2 minutes. Just like having warm banana nut bread. YUMMY!

    In college, I was so happy when my mom brought me 2 Costco double packs of quaker oats. We had no other food in the pantry. My roommate and I were happy for the food because that meant not having to walk two miles to get breakfast at the dining hall. We got tired of plain oatmeal real quick. Here are some things that we tried in our oatmeal to power through it:

    Beer (liquor store was closer than the dining hall)
    Pretzels
    Coffee.
    M&M's
    gummy worms
    Tootsie Rolls (not bad)
    Peanut Butter (not bad).
    Starbursts
    Ice Cream
    Jam packets that we took from the 24 hour diner. (Best idea ever)
    Various pie leftovers.
    Mountain Dew
    Thin mints
    Ground up Pop Tarts (pop tarts are distgustingly sweet to me)
    Whatever else we could bring back from the dining hall.
    Trail mix (Which I still use today)

    In hind site, we should've gone grocery shopping more often instead of waiting for our moms to intervene. Some of those toppings came from candy-dish leftovers.

    Well you certainly were creative. :laugh:

    Is it just me or does the peaches and cream have the smell and slight taste of play dough?

    we always buy the variety pack (fruit & cream) or the other one with fruit & spices.
    But if we happen to have plain quick oats,
    we add a bit of butter & brown sugar or pancake syrup, raisins.
    We've tried honey but it doesn't taste right to me.

    I am pretty simple with my oatmeal.
    Either chopped apples or strawberries.
    YUMMY!

    Might have to try the egg and veggies though!

    Also, after reading all the posts about peanut butter...that reminded me...get PB2...it's powdered PB and sooo good! That would give the flavor and consistency without ALL the fat and calories!
