    I love oatmeal in the morning. Especially in the winter. Agave, Stevia, or Maple Syrup only, but after reading all these great ideas I see I need to get more creative with my oatmeal.

    I just recently discovered red pears. They're awesome. I put walnuts in my oatmeal - always. And then I add either bananas, a pear, or some apples and I cook that into it. Then I top it with cinnamon. I love that stuff.

    Cook 3/4 cup oatmeal and 1.5 cups of water on the stove until it starts to soften. Whip 2 egg whites with a splash of vanilla and add it to the oatmeal. Cook for at least 5 minutes on medium heat until the eggs are cooked through. Serve over a sliced banana, and top with brown sugar.

    This oatmeal keeps me full for HOURS!

    Have you tried amaranth? I try to switch that up with oatmeal sometimes. It's great with fresh blueberries, a bit of earth balance and agave, and it is super good for you. It takes a while to make, so I make a big batch and reheat for breakfast.

    A lot of yummy ideas here.

    I eat mine the boring way: just plain oatmeal with splenda. I like mine on the thinner side. I used to put butter and sugar in it before going the healthy route. :p

    Love oatmeal and have started eating it every morning. I like it with a bit of brown sugar and then add a snack size peaches in light syrup. The peaches get warm and it is Yummy!

    I like mine with just vanilla or chocolate almond milk and a bit of stevia. On days when I am not counting calories I like to use agave nectar or brown rice syrup to sweeten and dried fruit (usually raisins) sometimes I add nuts.

    My favorite thing is to add a small amount of egg nog (Christmas time of course). Also, mostly every day I'll add craisins and chopped peacans. Yum

    I like savory oatmeal. So I usually put soy sauce to taste and top it with chopped up green onions and a poached egg. If I have it sweet, I toss in half a handful or raisins, cinnamon, vanilla extract and soymilk.
