looking for oatmeal recipes

I put:
- 2-3 teaspoons of brown sugar in it, bananas, and raisins.
or
- Dice an apple and put a little bit of water in a bowl (VERY little). Season the apples with Cinnamon, Nutmeg, etc. Microwave apples for 2-3 minutes until tender. Then put the apples in the oatmeal with 2-3 teaspoons of brown sugar.
or
- Put Libby's 100% Canned pumpkin in it with cinnamon, nutmeg, and 2-3 teaspoons of brown sugar.

This seems to be a really popular subject lately, including for myself!

Try these. There was a muffin you can make in the microwave with an egg, berries and oatmeal that I really need to try. It sounds great!

1)cut up apple, add raisins and dried cranberries with a little bit of brown sugar or maple syrup
2) honey
3)cinnamon with a dash of sugar

My fav is number 1 reminds me of Mcdonalds oatmeal and that stuff is amazing!!!

I cook my oatmeal until almost done and then add walnuts and bananas, apples, pears and top it with cinnamon.

look on line for "amish" or baked oatmeal recipes. I cut the brown sugar and butter (or oil) to a minimum. I make a big batch once a week and re-heat it in the micro. I switch up the add-ins...nuts, dried fruit, chocolate chips, coconut, etc. SOOOOOO good!

oh yeah, I forgot. I also put a spoon of coconut oil in my regular oatmeal. You can get it at Whole Foods or Trader Joes. It is so good for you and your metabolism. Skin too.

I throw in a tablespoon of currents while it's cooking. Yum!

- 1/4C milk, 1T pleanut butter, 1T nutella, with or without 1T honey
- 1/4C kefir, with any of the above
- 1/4C greek yogurt, with any of the above

I like steel-cut (Irish or Scottish) oats instead of rolled/instant oatmeal. It's sort of like breakfast risotto! It takes about 45 minutes to make 1 serving or 5-6 servings, so I do the following recipe and put the extra in 1 cup containers in the fridge. Two minutes in the microwave and a little more "Saigon" cinnamon and breakfast is served on the other 4-5 days. Numbers in () are for a little larger initial batch.

Original recipe on Good Eats (Alton Brown) on the Food Network.

---

Saute 1 (1 1/3) cup of steel cut (pinhead) oats in 1 (1½) Tbsp. of butter. Keep moving every now and then.

3 (4) cups boiling water (AB recommends electric kettle for speed and efficiency)

When oats smell nutty, add water AND ¼ c. dried fruit. Turn down heat to a simmer and stir. NO salt yet. After reaching a good simmer (about 2 on my left front burner), cover and leave for 30 (35) minutes.

½ c whole milk
½ c, buttermilk (whole or low-fat)

Mix milks together before adding to porridge to prevent curdling. Add ½ t. salt and milk

Fold (with fat handle of a spoon to prevent breaking down oat structure) until right consistency.

Add cinnamon (Zeylanicum tree, not cassia) or a good Vietnamese cinnamon works for me.

I find that I can skip the milks part. Just fold in ¾ - 1 c (¼ c is cooked with oats so it is really soft) of dried fruit and about 3 - 6-oz. containers of yogurt. It seems to keep in the fridge just fine for at least a week. One cup nukes in about 2 min or so.

I add frozen mixed berries and 1/4 to 1/2 cup of vanilla soy milk (light). I toss the frozen berries in right when the oatmeal comes out of the microwave. The heat thaws the berries and the cold cools the oatmeal so I can eat it right away.
