First you have to make the basic Oatmeal Mix which makes about 4 cups and can be made ahead and stored in an airtight container.
Oatmeal Mix
3 cups quick-cooking oats
1/4 cup + 1 Tbsp nonfat dry milk
2 Tbsp brown sugar
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp salt
Combine all ingredients and store in an airtight container.
Cherry-Almond Oatmeal
1/2 Oatmeal Mix (see recipe above)
2 Tbsp dried cherries
1 Tbsp slivered almonds
1 cup fat-free milk, divided
1) Combine the Oatmeal Mix, dried cherries, almonds, and 1/2 cup of the milk in a medium microwaveable bowl.
2) Microwave on high for 1 minute. Stir and continue to microwave at 30-second intervals until it reaches the desired consistency. (I did 1 30-second intervals for a total of 1.5 minutes but your microwave may vary and I like mine thick.) Serve with the remaining 1/2 cup milk0 -
Lately I have been using the Better Oats brand flavored oatmeal. I really like the Blueberry Muffin. It has flax seeds and real blueberries in it. Also it is old fashioned oats, which is my favorite. I normally make my own, but I had found these in the clearance bin and they are so good.
When I am out of these packs I will make my own putting a spoon of flax seeds in it. I normally like just a timy bit of sugar and butter too. Hungry Girl has a recipe for making oatmeal in a crock pot. I would like to do that but I am the only one to eat it so that seems like a lot of trouble. I also saw one for crock pit oatmeal on Allrecipes.com. Looked good and I thought of ways to lighten it up.0 -
I add protien powder to mine most of the time
I tried doing that and it turned out DISGUSTING! The protein powder clumped all up and wouldn't stop clumping. It tasted like crust in my oatmeal... I love the powder in shakes but not in oatmeal!0 -
me too, it's really tasty:) I get the quaker high fiber maple brown sugar and put vanilla or chocolate protein powder in it;) YUMM:)0

I eat Better Oats Oat Revolution Maple and Brown Sugar instant. I love that stuff and usually get it for $1 a box and it has 6 pkgs. Does not even need anything added to it!
I used to eat instant until I found out how horrible they are for people and their waistline. That is why I use regular oatmeal and add my own berries, bananas, honey, flax seed, etc.0 -
So many yummy ideas-where to start? I like mine 7 whole grain oat mix cooked with frozen cranberries, then add cinnamon, nutmeg, & touch of agave.0

Okay so I have tried eating oatmeal soooooooo many times and I haven't been able to do it, however, I finally found a delicious way of eating it and I hope others will like it too :-) I got this recipe off the happy herbivore blog but modified a little. I use Quaker 1-minute oats and make it drier than the package recommends (3/4c dry oats, 1/3c water). Boil the water and add the oats and cook for 1 minute. Add 1/4C pureed pumpkin (not pumpkin pie filling!!) and 1-2 TBLS raisins or chopped prunes (nuts or seeds would also be delicious!), cinnamon, nutmeg and ginger to taste then drizzle with a little maple syrup and serve. It is absolutely delicious!!!! :happy:0

Try an oatmeal pancake -
Mix one packet of oatmeal (use cinnamon variety or just add some cinnamon) and 1/2 cup egg beaters. Mix together and cook with no stick spray. Put a little fat free whipped cream on top and strawberry or banana slices on top. Delicious!

I eat oatmeal and a boiled egg just about every morning. Usually, I toss in a handful of berries, some nuts, some flaxseed, and sweeten with honey .
But my favorite way is with a tsp vanilla and coconut flakes. Tastes like coconut pie!0 -
