    Almost every day! I do steel cut oats in the crockpot using water and cinnamon (google it, tons of recipes). I will add apple, banana, peanut butter, brown sugar (not the same day!) and then vanilla soy milk to get it to the consistency I like. I am going to try vanilla protein powder as well, as I have seen it recommended a few times now. Always use oatmeal you have to cook, not instant or flavored if you can. It is so much better for you...those flavored packets are full of things I cant pronounce!

    No joke... I eat my oatmeal raw with a spoon right out of the round Quaker box! :D If I do want it traditionally, I mix with hot water and eat as is without adding anything to it.

    i think oatmeal must be what we call porridge in england?
    I have it daily with honey and dried figs.
    I'd eat it for all my meals if i could!

    I regularly eat oatmeal for breakfast. I use the quick cooking oats, cook with water, and after they're done I add 1/4 c almond milk, 1 T chopped nuts, and whatever fruit I have around (like 1/2 an apple or a banana).

    I also recently found this recipe for Refrigerator Oatmeal:

    http://dianeschnier.wordpress.com/refrigerator-oatmeal

    It uses rolled oats and you don't have to cook it! Just prepare it the night before and it's ready in the morning. I haven't tried it yet, but I'm really hoping it's good so I can skip the cooking in the morning before I try to dash out for work.

    I do! I eat the instant kind that you put in the microwave. You can add water or a little milk. I add water and it taste just fine.

    Usually a pinch of brown sugar and cinnamon. Sometimes nutmeg.

    I need to try peanut butter in it- sounds yummy!

    I do, but I'm boring and eat it the same way every morning. I'm pretty for time in the morning and buy the Better Oats boxes - my favorites are the Fit kind (100 calories a serving) and the Thick and Hearty (160 calories a serving). That and coffee tide me over until my mid-morning snack of a banana.

    2 tsp brown sugar, and maybe some dried fruit, cinnamon or fresh fruit.

    My husband eats it like they sometimes eat it in the UK... He'll put butter and salt in it, and sometimes cheese. He calls it "savory oatmeal." It's pretty tasty like that, too.

    Almost every day.
    Lately it has been with 2 tbsp of fat free evaporated milk, 1 tbsp natural peanut butter, one packet of Stevia in the Raw and a sliced banana...under 400 calories total. I prefer either the thick cut rolled oats or steel cut oats over the basic rolled oats; they hold more flavor.

    I eat Oat Revolution - it has brown sugar & flax seeds in it. OMG - best thing ever, plus they are in single serving packets so at 160 calories, I can't resist! ;)

    I eat it the Scottish way - medium or pinhead oatmeal, water and a little salt cooked together and cold milk poured over it. Had this every morning in winter as a child. Now I eat it at weekends as I don't have enough time to cook it during the week. Love it.

    I eat Better Oats Abundance Nude and I put 1Tbsp of chunky peanut better in it. Yum! I have heard that the cocoa one with PB added tastes like a chocolate, oatmeal no-bake cookie. Gotta try that one!

    Nude it the flavor, not how I eat it.:happy:

    I make a lot of it here because it takes a lot to fill three teenagers tummies.
    I do 14 cups of water to 8 cups of thick rolled oats. I add a tablespoon of butter, tsp salt, and everyone tops it the way that they want. I like fresh chopped apples or huckleberries. we sweeten it with stevia and pour milk over it. I eat 1/2 cup portion with a protein.

    I eat it almost every morning. I will eat it with a little splenda in it. Sometimes I add a banana or raisins, or blueberries. It really fills me up. I try to limit my portion to 1/2 cup (dry). I usually add a little splash of half n' half in it too.
