    Blackberries! I toss about 6 to 8 blackberries into my oatmeal, and mash them right up. All of the oatmeal soaks up the flavour. It tastes really really good.

    I normally go through phases with my oats and tonight (yeah I had oats for dinner) i tried something new and I am in looove. I used vanilla whey, mini choc chips, White Chocolate Wonderful PB and some truwhip! It was RIDICULOUSLY filling for 555 cals. Seriously I'm stuffed now. Tasted like the most indulgent dessert EVER too.

    Almond butter, blueberries, stevia, banana, cinnamon is the regular.

    I used to hate oatmeal. It did taste like paste.

    I've rediscovered that I like oatmeal from packets. At 8am at work. While I'm starving and have nothing else to eat. Everything always tastes better when you have no other options. lol.

    I buy the apple + cinnamon kind from quaker. Love love love them! I add water and not much else. Oddly enough, I like my oatmeal thick, so I could probably slap up some wall paper with it. =)

    Depends.
    I bought strawberry and vanilla oatmeal, the instant kind.

    But usually:

    scoop of vanilla protein powder and sugar free maple syrup
    or 1/4 cup mixed berries and a tsp brown sugar

    I've been cooking my steel cut oats in the crock pot with sliced up apples, brown sugar, and some milk replacing some of the water. It's yummy.

    Coconut and banana - awesome awesome. The banana fluffs it up when you cook it, coconut adds a bit of sweetness.

    Also, a serving of pure pumpkin and pumpkin pie spice or cinnamon. Tastes like pumpkin pie, PLUS you're getting a serving of fruit! (but I still think of a pumpkin as a vegetable) lol

    I use almond milk rather than water or regular milk. Throw in some raspberries and boom. Fantastic. Simple and fantastic.

    Option 1 - Cocoa powder, chopped almonds, flaked coconut, stevia, chia seeds (it's like an almond joy)
    Option 2 - Maple syrup/brown sugar, apples, cinnamon, chia seeds
    Option 3 - Dried cherries, cocoa powder, stevia, chia seeds
    Option 4 - Throw an egg on top towards the end so it steam cooks, add some cheese and salsa... some people think it's weird, but if I'm not feeling sweet this is the way to go for me.

    Have you ever tried overnight oats in the fridge? You can eat them cold or pop them in the micro for a few seconds to warm them up. Here's a basic recipe. http://ohsheglows.com/2010/04/08/easy-vegan-overnight-oats/

    You can really play with them any way you want. It's just a matter of getting the right amount of liquid for how you like your oats. Also, saves time in the morning because you don't have to cook them

    This has given me an entirely new perspective on oatmeal, which I love. Thanks for all the input and I shall be trying some of these variations.

    I usually use Abundance Oatmeal or Raw Oatmeal, bot by Better Oats & dump Trader Joe's Handful of Almonds, Trader Joe's Simply Almonds, Cashews, & Cranberries, or Trader Joe's Handful of Omega Trek Mix in it. It's like those oatmeal "kits" you get from Jamba Juice or Mcdonalds for a quarter of the price. If I need the oatmeal to be sweeter I then add a Truvia or Splenda w/ fiber.

    My kids recommended Mrs. Butterworth's Maple syrup that is sugar free 20 calories for 1/4 cup. I just use a little and it gives a great maple flavor.
