    Eat it almost every day (2 packs) with low-fat milk and then I add my eggs/egg whites to it!!! Tastes great and very filling!!

    Interesting. Do you add the egg whites uncooked and let them cook with the oatmeal?

    I have been eating 1/2 cup Quaker oats everyday since I began MFP. I like it simple- I put in 1 tablesoon raisins, sprinkle of cinnamon and cook for 2 mins in the microwave. I then add 1 packet of splenda.

    I eat oatmeal like 3 times or so a week....you can add all sorts of great things because it's such a neutral base! I make mine the old fashion way on the stove top and add things like shredded apple and cinnamon sticks or mashed banana with ground almonds and vanilla, I almost always throw a couple raisons in because I love the tangy/ sweetness they give to the bowl. Experiment, you'll be hard pressed to come up with a combo that doesn't work!!

    I eat oatmeal most days. I know she is isnt popular here but I love the Hungry Girl's oatmeal recipes.

    Most days I eat my oatmeal with 3/4 c unsweetened vanilla almond milk, 1 tbsp of chia seed, 2 packs of splenda and 1/4 of sugar free

    log cabin syrup. Some days I add blackberries, strawberries or bananas. Gerber makes freeze dried fruit pieces that are really good

    and only 25 calories for 1/4 cup!

    Gonna have to try peanut butter, that sounds good.

    I just finished my oatmeal for today and it had a little brown sugar and dried blueberries. So yummy!!

    I eat it a lot, usually the lower sugar packets, with some dried cranberries mixed in. Love the stuff.

    Someone just put this post up - looks like a great way to add some creativity to your oats - pancake them!

    I eat it almost every day :) I prefer rolled oats, too. Instant ones tend to get really sticky/goopy, in my opinion. Love putting bananas and peanut butter in my oatmeal. IT'S DELICIOUS! So are raisins, cinnamon, walnuts, apples... stuff like that. To sweeten, I use splenda.

    I occasionally have it for breakfast on the weekends. I mix uncooked old fashioned (rolled) oats with pb and a little maple syrup. I've tried almond butter and soynut butter but neither were as good as pb.

    Sometimes I do. I boil the water, throw in some vanilla protein powder, give it a good whisk, throw in the oatmeal, throw in a chopped up pear and whisk again. Then it's bowl time. I chop up a piece of crystallized ginger, throw it on top, and munch.

    Me me me me me!! I LOVEEEE instant oatmeal.

    I have a Kuerig coffee machine. So easy to throw a pack of oatmeal into a bowl, set my Kuerig it to the smallest cup size for hot water and just stir. So easy, not as many calories as a LOT of things for breakfast :D

    1 cup of quick cooking oats
    1/2 cup water
    1/2 cup canned coconut milk
    teaspoon of honey
    sometimes dried fruit/nut mixture
    pop it in the mic for 2:00

    To me it ends up having the consistency of rice pudding which I love...and has a nice coconut flavor with out being too sweet.
    Also by buying the large container of oats I can make this in large batches and divide among tupperware for later in the week!

    I eat it almost every day! I use 1/2c milk and 1/2c water to cook it, then add a splash of milk a 2 tsp sugar. Sometimes I make toast with a little butter to dip in it!

    I love oatmeal. Steel cut is the best. I keep it simple and mix in pumpkin pie spice and a half banana sliced. I sweeten it just a tad with either brown sugar or a small amount of Stevia. I make a large enough batch to last a couple more days. On the days that I reheat it, I add almond milk to adjust the consistency.

    I make my own granola with oatmeal as it's base, between it and regular old fashioned oats, probably 5 days a week, sometimes 6. My granola contains, flax, pumpkin, sunflower, sesame seeds, I vary between dates, craisins, walnuts or almonds. On regular oatmeal I add lots of different things, but my favorite is walnuts and brwn sugar.

    McCann's steel cut made in the slow cooker overnight. (Google slow cooker oatmeal.) I add:
    5 roasted unsalted almonds
    1/3 cup frozen blueberries
    3 slices of frozen peach
    1/2 skim milk

    Yummy!

    Sometimes I slice half a banana instead of the frozen fruit if the bananas are getting too brown.

    I usually have instant oatmeal (but I am going to give steel-cut oats a try soon). My favourite thing to put in is cranberry trail mix, but today I put in almonds and raspberries. Yum!

    I eat steel cut oats for breakfast every morning. I usually add cinnamon, splenda, and a half cup of pumpkin. I warm it in the microwave and it's so yummy and fills me up. I also have a half cup of plain greek yogurt to get some protein in, too!

    I love oatmeal, and I like to keep it simple -- milk and a couple teaspoons of sugar.
