    I buy the instant prepackaged servings, maple & brown sugar. I just bought a new package apples & cinnamon, low sugar. 110 calories a packet. I usually eat the oatmeal without milk.

    what does everyone put in their oatmeal so it doesnt taste like wall paper paste?!

    My favorite oatmeal is longer cooking or oat groats, with cinnamon, 1/4 cup chopped raisins cooked in with the oats so it sweetens it, and 1oz of diced almonds on top. I find this will hold me until lunch with no cravings for snacks...

    huh? You don't like the taste of wallpaper paste???? *weird* teehee

    I usually add 1/8 cup crasins.

    Banana and walnut is good too, if you have lots of extra calories.

    First, try making steel cut oats rather than rolled. They're less processed, so they have more tooth and a nuttier taste.

    Second, I usually stick with brown sugar. Honey and cinnamon are good. So are almonds or walnuts.

    I microwave 1/4 cup of frozen (homegrown) strawberries for 1 minute, mash them, add 1/3 cup uncooked quick cooking oats, 2/3 cup water, a little splenda and microwave for 1 min. 30 secs. I loveeee it!

    Also, have you tried steel cut oats? They are a lot better than plain oats. I make up a large batch that I eat on all week. I chop up an apple, add the oats and then microwave for a minute-2. Or I use frozen blueberries and do the same. I sweet with xylitol, as it may help with gum disease, which I have early signs of.

    cinnamon, peanut butter, raisins, cocoa powder. Alone or all together, it tastes great. Or if you want it more savory, an egg, scrambled, with a bit of black pepper.

    PB2 and maple syrup - Yum!

    If you have steel cut oats - you could toast them a bit to bring out a nuttier flavor. I use Coaches "instant" steel cut - these are already toasted.

    I like to add PB2 (powdered peanut butter) with chocolate. It's like 45 calories for 2 tbsp and adds protein as well.

    I only like groats, now (unprocessed oats). DS used to gag on regular oatmeal.

    I make them in a rice cooker and have them programmed to be ready in the morning. We like ours with a little butter, cinnamon and brown sugar (a tsp is plenty).

    My two favorites are 1 Tbsp of almond butter and some kind of fresh fruit -or- fresh pumpkin puree, cinnamon, and a touch of real maple syrup.

    I make my porridge (oatmeal) in the microwave using rolled oats and water, then add skim milk powder, peanut butter and fruit - usually either chopped apple or banana. Cinnamon sprinkled on top is great too.

    When making old fashioned oats, I love chopping up bananas, blueberries, strawberries, and/or raspberries. A little teaspoon of vanilla extract and dash of cinnamon are essential!

    If I'm in a rush, however, I like buying the Apples & Cinnamon flavored Trader Joe's Instant Oatmeal. Add water and microwave it. It has a nice flavor and tastes great without even adding anything! Highly recommend. Only 130 calories a packet.
