    Wow, I'm not big on eating oatmeal, but I love it on really cold days when I'm working, so I can't wait to try out lots of the ideas here now that winter has arrived! :D Liking the peanut butter idea... might have to try some of that tomorrow! :)

    Normally I use splenda myself, with usually one or more of the following; raisins, sunflower seeds, coconut, dried cranberries, baking cocoa, cinnamon, ground ginger, allspice... I tried nutmeg once but it wasn't that pleasant...

    I make mine with Almond Breeze Unsweetened Vanilla and 2 packets of Stevia and some cinnamon. I boil it for about 10 minutes on the stove along with 1 cup of water and the longer it boils the thicker it becomes. I'm sure you could use sweetened vanilla as well and adjust your sweetness with more sugar/cinnamon/dried fruit, etc.

    I have a pretty much set breakfast, but love oatmeal porridge as an easy lazy supper on a cold day. I use a moderate amount of Demerara sugar and log it. As one of the dietitians in the program I was in said, "If that's the worst thing in your day - relax and enjoy it!"

    Why can't you use brown sugar? Just measure it out & count the calories. Don't deny yourself what you like. Make it work.

    my thoughts exactly!! :)

    pinch of salt always, sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and sliced toasted almonds.

    Been soaking the rolled oats over night in water. Cooks up faster and creamier in the AM.
