    Just a little spice, either cinnamon or cardamom is my fave. I ake with half milk half water, and pinch f salt.
    Sometimes I add a few tablespoons of natural no sugar added applesauce.

    I've been considering savory oatmeal too, as a side with dinner (like instead of rice, etc).

    I eat steel cut oats in the winter time almost everyday. I make it with skim milk instead of water and I will add any of these items: peanut butter, a little brown sugar, cinnamon, dried berries, or almonds.

    I get the bulk oats at Sprouts(NOT the instant ones). I use 1/2 cup of those, 1 cup vanilla So Delicious Coconut milk, 1 tablespoon chia seeds and 1/2 a banana. Put it all in a bowl, smash up the banana and put it in the fridge overnight. It is SO tasty and a COLD oatmeal, so will be great for summer as well. I adapted it from this recipe: http://ohsheglows.com/2011/02/01/carob-banana-chia-vegan-overnight-oats/

    I want to know too - I need to stop eating the true delights blueberry muffin oatmeal bc it is way too high in fat. I guess fruit is a good start. I will try this recipe first...
    1/4 cup quick-cooking oats
    1 tablespoon ground flaxseed
    2/3 cup 1% low-fat milk
    1/4 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
    2 tablespoons chopped pecans or walnuts, optional
    1 teaspoon pure maple syrup
    Directions
    Place the oats, ground flaxseed, and milk in a large microwave-safe cereal bowl and stir to combine. If you use a small bowl, the contents may overflow when heated.
    Place in the microwave, uncovered, and heat on high for 90 seconds (if you like your oatmeal thick, check after 90 seconds and then cook an additional 20 to 30 seconds). Remove very carefully and stir in the blueberries, nuts as desired, and top with the maple syrup.

    I love oatmeal. Just a half of a cup of dry oatmeal is one serving, and that makes a cup or more. I put all kinds of stuff in there, today I added about a 1/4 of trail mix (dried bananas and mangos, coconut flakes, nuts) and fresh blueberries, and a sprinkle of cinnamon and a couple of splashes of vanilla soy milk. My favorite though, is S'MORES OATMEAL, just add a tablespoon of choc chips and a handful of marshmallows, and some vanilla soymilk. I'm a sugarholic, so I will eat this for breakfast or for dessert, it's that good!

    For some reason I only eat Oatmeal in the winter. I keep a box of instant at work Quakers weight control, or High fiber. or The Natures Path organics. Yum!

    When I cook it at home I always add vanilla, cinammon, and nutmeg.
    Other mix-ins:
    Dried Cherries
    Dried Cranberries
    Almonds
    Pecans
    Agave Nectar
    Sugar free perserves

    PB sounds yummy, I'm going to have to try that.

    Me! I do "overnight oats" - 1/2 cup of dry oats and 1/2 cup of almond milk, 1/2 a banana and chia seeds in a small tupperware container, mix it up and leave it in the fridge. In the morning, I just throw it in my bag and eat it at my desk at work. For variety, sometimes I'll add a teaspoon or so of chopped nuts/honey/unsweetened coconut/dried fruit, etc.

    I eat oatmeal nearly every day. I make steel cut overnight oats and add in chia, ground flaxseed with blueberries, and PB2. I will add a little skim milk and stevia if I need some extra sweet. It's yummy and sooooo filling.

    Every day. Don't put anything in it (though I suppose some fresh fruit could be good). I just use those little sachets of Quaker low sugar maple syrup variety. Nom noms.

    Yumm! I always put in cinnamon, I've read it boosts metabolism, and some kind of fruit. Either raisins, dried cranberries, blueberries (frozen or fresh), etc. The frozen blueberries are great to have around because it takes forever for them to go bad and you can add it to lots of things, cereal etc. Best Wishes!!

    I eat it almost every morning. I make mine with almond milk and add it one of the following combos:

    1/3 cup pumpkin and pumpkin pie spice
    frozen berries (a rasp/black/blueberry blend is my fav)
    an apple and some cinnamon
    fresh peach
    chopped walnuts and a tsp of maple syrup
    fresh pear
    1/2 of a mashed banana

    Just finished eating pumpkin oatmeal before I saw this question! :^)
