A spoonful of flavored creamed honey - I buy it at our farmers market, and this time I got pumpkin spice. SO good!

I like it cooked in water with a generous spoonful of brown sugar. I also like it really thick, to where you could eat it with a fork. DH thinks that's disgusting lol.

i don't, the texture of oatmeal grosses me out, but i make a lot of it for DH. he likes it when i cook it with water, then i add either brown sugar, honey, apple sauce or maple syrup to sweeten it & some cinnamon, nutmeg & ginger, then i add some milk to cool it down & make it soupier- he likes soupy oatmeal

I eat steel cut oats with flax meal and a drizzle of honey. Actually LO eats it that way, and I eat with him.

Brown sugar, nuts and raisins Yum!
@grizz: I've never heard of flavored creamed honey. I will have to look into that. I LOVE honey!

@travellingbee: I discovered it at the farmers market when I was buying honey to eat while in labor. It doesn't string like raw honey so it was perfect to eat! It's almost a solid but it melts in coffee, oatmeal, tea, etc and it is soooo yummy.

Cooked in water, no milk, with lots of brown sugar, raisins, and the odd sausage link or two.

There is this stuff called PB2... it's like peanut butter with a lot of the oil/fat taken out (it's like a flour). I put a tbsp of that and a tsp of sugar in my plain quick oats (cooked with water in the microwave) and it tastes just like peanut butter cookies!! nom nom nom.

I will only eat the blueberry muffin kind. It's instant and cooks in water. I can't handle any other kind.

Rolled oats with raisins a little brown sugar and a little cream if I'm feeling indulgent.

lots of ways, but our regular way is:
large flake oats cooked with water until thick, add milk and keep cooking, then stir in an egg near the end of cooking. add a tiny bit of salt and some sort of sweetener (brown sugar, honey, or maple syrup). i like it thick and a bit lumpy.
dh likes it when i make 'apple pie oatmeal' -- same method without an egg, but cooked with a diced apple, a bit of brown sugar, cinnamon, and a splash of vanilla.

Steel cut oats cooked in water and topped with brown sugar, cream, currants, toasted pecans, and diced apple. Omit one or more toppings to simplify. Our alternative is peanut butter and honey, and we do rolled oats if we don't have time for steel cut.

I haven't made it like this in awhile but, cooked in soy milk, peanut butter, a little bit of unsweetened cocoa powder, a tiny bit of brown sugar. Yumm!
Lately, I do a steel cut oatmeal/quinoa blend with a teaspoon of honey and cinnamon.

Love this thread. I am going to start eating steel cut oats and this is giving me so many ideas. At this point I just like the processed Quaker maple & brown sugar.

I love steel cut oats slow cooked with egg whites stirred in. Makes them so fluffy! Then for topping... Some cacao powder and fruit.

Cooked in milk then I add peanut butter and occasionally chocolate chips.

@MungBean: Me too! I feel so boring after reading some of these, heh.
@tysonja: I have never heard of adding an egg...what does this do to the oatmeal?
@SupernovaJ: I use a slow cooker for steel cut. Load everything up in the crockpot, instant breakfast in the morning!
@pui: Do you find that at a regular grocery store? (The PB2)

@Espion: if you stir it in well right away it doesn't do much except maybe make the oatmeal thicker or creamier:) if you let it sit after cracking the egg and slowly stir it in you can get an egg drop soup kind of effect. It doesn't really change the taste, but I think it adds some nutritional boost!

@tysonja: never thought of adding an egg! I do peanut butter for some protein but an egg would work too.

I don't cook it. I soak oatmeal and muesli overnight in milk with some brown sugar. Love it!
I'm going to try adding some nut butter in. I never thought of that!

@Sugar.Biscuit: your oatmeal is very similar to mine! except i use almond butter, honey, and cinnamon, and i also add sliced bananas. YUM.

@Espion: I think you can get PB2 at a lot of organic/health grocery stores. I buy it online.

@tysonja: Yup! That's why I love overnight soaking instead of cooking even regular oatmeal. It gives it a nice texture instead of mushy.

Made with a tish less water than recommended, then a good spoonful of brown sugar and enough milk to make it soupy, like @mrs. bird:'s SO. If I have time, I'll soak raisins to plump them up and add them in with some walnuts. Mmmm I need to add all of this to my grocery list again
