Oats taste horrible to me! It tastes better when i cooked it with milk, but i am pretty bored of this idea. Anyone has any other good recipes? No sugar please!

    When you say no sugar, does that mean fruit is out? Because I like to make a big batch of apple-cinnamon-raisin oatmeal, mix all the ingredients, store in the fridge overnight, and cook in the oven till hot. Tastes awesome!

    I also do overnight no-cook oatmeal, like this site: http://www.theyummylife.com/Refrigerator_Oatmeal

    oats are not a magical food. if you dont like them, why feel compelled to eat them?

    Try steel cut oats. I have recommended them to people who don't like oatmeal, and they all love them now.
    I cooked a big batch in the crock pot a couple of weeks ago then divided it into individual portions and froze it. I put ground flax, raw nut meats (any kind you like), and plenty of cinnamon in it. Yesterday I had it topped with fresh, sliced strawberries, blueberries are good too. I don't use any milk, but that is just my personal preference.

    I add a teaspoon of cocoa powder and a teaspoon of honey as a treat. Delicious with raspberries and/or strawberries. Also, adding a few drops of vanilla essence to plain oats gives them a slightly sweeter edge, lovely with peaches or nectarines.

    It might not be the healthier thing but I usually add like a spoon of sugar and another one of nutella xx
