    I love oatmeal and I have it every morning. If I'm making it fast in the microwave, I love it with a tablespoon of simply fruit: blueberry and a 1/4 cup of raisins. However, I also really enjoy slow cooker oatmeal. Steel cut oats with apples, cinnamon, vanilla extract, brown sugar, and walnuts. Amazing!

    Almond Joy Oatmeal

    Serves 2

    Ingredients:

    1 cup steel cut oats
    2 cups flaxmilk or other non-dairy milk
    1 teaspoon coconut oil
    2 tablespoons cacao chips
    1/2 cup organic shaved coconut
    1/2 cup raw almonds, chopped

    Directions:

    In a medium bowl, combine oats and milk together. Refrigerate overnight.
    Transfer oatmeal to a saucepan and heat, stirring, until heated through.
    Stir in coconut oil, cocoa nibs, and shaved coconut.
    Divide mixture among 2 bowls and top with almonds and extra milk, if desired.

    Yep. Tastes just like an Almond Joy. When I make it I omit the coconut oil. Cuts down on added fats. This is really good oatmeal, and I know oatmeal.

    I could also talk about my dark chocolate/peanut butter oatmeal...but I'll save that one for another time. :)

    banana and a little bit of coconut with cinnamon. Sometimes some almonds or pecans. SOOOO delicious.

    Also, unsweetened applesauce with cinnamon.

    I also put 1/3 cup of pure pumpkin in with the oatmeal and some pumpkin pie spice. SO delish. :)

    I love adding a sliced banana, cinnamon and chopped walnuts to my oatmeal. Sometimes I slice up an apple and add cinnamon and sliced almonds :) I love sweetness and crunch in my oatmeal.

    If i'm not having eggs then I'm having oatmeal. I usually put precooked "apple smush" I make baking apples in the oven or honey.

    I really love cottage cheese in my oatmeal. Amps up the protein too! I almost always pair that with a fruit - bananas and blueberries are my favorite. One packet of truvia makes it plenty sweet for me.

    My friend gave me this recipe for a yummy baked pumpkin protein oatmeal:

    1/3c dry oats
    1/2 scoop protein powder
    2 tsp baking powder
    a pinch of nunaturals stevia extract
    cinnamon & pumpkin pie spice (I use 1/4-1/2 tsp of each)
    1/3c canned pumpkin
    2 extra large egg whites
    1/4c unsweetened vanilla almond milk

    Preheat oven to 375. Mix dry ingredients, then add wet ingredients and mix well. Bake for 25 minutes.

    Calories: 230
    Net Carbs: 22
    Protein: 19
    Fat: 4

    Tasty and very, very filling! I have trouble finishing my bowl every time I make it (which is 2-4 times per week)! I'm going to ditch the cinnamon and pumpkin pie spice, replace the pumpkin with natural applesauce, and add some strawberries and/or blueberries this week to change it up.

    I truly love oatmeal. Lately, steel cut oats has become my favorite kind of oatmeal. Well, what I put in mine depends on my mood. I like to add peanut butter, bananas, brown sugar, blueberries, plain yogurt, almonds, sweeteners like truvia or splenda. I found a recipe from one of the biggest losers books that has become an instant favorite of mine. It has unsweetened vanilla almond milk, vanilla extract, truvia, almond slices, and peach slices. I just added cinnamon to mine this morning since I like cinnamon and it does give it a good taste.

    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!

    Wow, this really peaks my interest! I might have to try that one day.


    I usually have a flavored oatmeal (I like better oats strawberry or blueberry muffin) and put in dried cherries after I cook it. I found some awesome ones from Travers Bay on Amazon and they are so delish!

    This morning I added skim milk, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, splenda and raisins. Sometimes I add some crasins and maple syrup (the real stuff!).. Brown sugar, cinnamon and apple slices are excellent!

    I love it too! My dad is big on eating healthy and taught me another way of having it: 1/8 cup of Mrs Butterworth sugar free syrup and a teaspoon of brown sugar. So good!

    Oatmeal is great for dessert! Mix 1 c. oatmeal, 1/4 c. brown sugar, 1/4 teas. cinnamon and 1/4 c. butter. Set aside.
    Measure 6 cups blueberries into an 8 x 8 glass dish. Stir together 1/4 c. brown sugar, 2 tablespoons, and 1/2 teas.
    cinnamon. Toss this mixture with berries. Top with oatmeal mixture. Bake at 350 for 40 45 minutes , or until juices
    bubble around the edges. 9 servings / cal = 182 (Use Truvia, Agave Nectar or Splenda and reduce thecalories!)

    I just tried a new way this morning. Nuked a serving of frozen strawberries and added 1 tsp sugar. Cut back water on oatmeal to make it thicker, then added the strawberries after oatmeal was done. To die for!
