Hi there! this is my first post ever on MFP. I too love oatmeal. I'll measure 1/2 cup into a tupperware along with some cinnamon, a pinch of salt and a teaspoon of brown sugar. When I get to work, I add water and microwave it at 50% power for 1 1/2 minutes. Instant hot breakfast! I sometimes add a handful of fresh blueberries, a sliced banana, chopped up dates... yummy.0

sounds yum... i microwave mine first, then add the toppings. should i be heating them up all together?0

I eat oatmeal like everyday too! Haha,
These are my two favorite ways to make it.
1 tbs. brown sugar.
1/4 cup dried cranberries.
1 tbs. brown sugar.
1 tbs. white chocolate carmel coffee creamer.
^^ sounds weird, but it honestly tastes like you're eating a candy bar!<30 -
and it doesn't really matter what way you do it.
sometimes when you do add the items, then microwave. it loses it's flavor.0 -
Things I add in oatmeal (ofcourse not everything every time, but lot's of it goes well together): Jam, cottage cheese, almond butter, butter, cinnamon, brown sugar, milk, yogurt (usually vanilla), banana, nuts (almonds mostly), berries, apples .. Or sometimes just plain oatmeal.0

I love it sweet, but I also recently started eating it with savory things! This morning I made it with mushrooms garlic and salt. It was to die for!0

My DH and I eat it every weekday morning - we put apples, nutmeg and maple syrup. I also like it with craisins, pecans & maple syrup. If you haven't tried steel cut oats I heartily recommend them. Take longer to cook but really tasty. You can make a big batch over the weekend and then microwave during the week.0

Steel cut oats are the way to go. The night before I boil 6 cups of water, then add 1.5 cups of dry steel cut oats. Let it return to a boil and then cook for a minute or two. Remove from heat and slap a lid on the pan. Then I let it sit on the back of the stove until the next morning. When I get up, they are perfect. Microwave for a minute or two to warm them up. We put the leftovers in the fridge for the next day. A batch like that lasts my wife and I 2-3 days.
My favorite toppers (not all at once): bananas, blueberries, dried cherries, brown sugar, peanut butter, chocolate chips, real maple syrup, molasses, chopped pecans, chopped walnuts, apples, honey, jam, cinnamon.
For savory I cook the oatmeal in chicken broth and then I might add some chopped roasted chicken breast and/or poached eggs.0 -

1 tbs. white chocolate carmel coffee creamer.

Really, coffee creamer that is genius! i always add a little milk since it makes it creamier I can't wait to try this0 -

I love oatmeal, but don't always have time to fix it getting everyone out of the house on time. I found a baked oatmeal recipe on Pinterest that I modified and tried last weekend, and I loved it. I ate on that all week, I could heat it up in a bowl with a little milk if I was home with time, or eat it on the run since it is kind of cake-like. It had bananas, strawberries, pecans and semi-sweet chocolate chips (something I thought I wouldn't like, but how stupid was that). I am going to make some this week with bananas, blueberries and chocolate chips. Oh, and it had Chinese 5 spice, which I cut to 1/4 tsp. It gave it a really interesting flavor.0
