I made oatmeal for breakfast and it was gross. What kinds of yummy things do you put in your oatmeal to make it taste good/sweet?
-
I make oat bran with unsweetened vanilla almond milk. I add cinnamon, blueberries and/or strawberries. Maybe you'd like it better with a little honey?
-
Brown sugar and raisins!
-
@raspberries: same!
-
I make oatmeal for DH every week. I put in berries, honey, strawberry jam, protein powder (he likes it).
-
lately, maple syrup, raisins or any berries, and cinnamon.
-
I mash up half a banana and drizzle maple syrup on the top. The banana sweetens it up just right!
-
Pure maple syrup, hemp milk and walnuts.
-
I do overnight oats and it's so easy! The night before I put oats, milk, bananas (fairly ripe), a little bit of maple syrup and a spoonful of vanilla greek yogurt in a mixing bowl with a lid. Mix it up well and store it in the refrigerator over night. In the morning I heat some up (in microwave for 45 seconds or so) and top with almonds, raspberries, more banana. Basically whatever I have on hand.
-
Just raisins
Or butter/milk/sugar
-
I only make steel cut oats for oatmeal. It's has a crunchier texture. I cook in half water half soy milk. Add just a tbsp of brown sugar. Then a dollop of peanut butter in mixed fruits in each bowl.
-
For M I put in fruit like blueberries, strawberries or bananas.
Or I'll add applesauce and cinnamon. -
I make my own oatmeal packets that I bring to work. For every 1/2 cup of oatmeal, I taste tested and found that I like to add a tablespoon of brown sugar, about the same of raisins, a few dashes of cinnamon, and a tiny sprinkle of salt. Then I just add some water and put in the microwave for 2 min. I like mine pretty thick so I don't add a ton of water

I like steel cut oats with brown sugar, bananas and walnuts
-
I usually buy Maple Brown Sugar oatmeal and beat in an egg. =)
-
I mix in granola! How do you all actually cook yours? Mine always ends up weird in the microwave or not cooked enough...
-
I do steel cut oats in the crock pot with apples and maple syrup

I've done a ton of things to train myself to actually like my food more plain but previous to that, pb, dark chocolate chips and a few marshmallows were my jam lol now I'll put half an apple and some pb in. if you need more sweetness some honey or real maple syrup do the trick.
-
I use a packet of flavoured Quaker oats (banana nut) and add a 1/4 cup quick oats with a tbsp ground chia seeds tbsp almond slivers and a thinly sliced banana. I'm always so hungry in the morning my goal was to bulk up the packet in a healthy way.
-
I used to think I didn't like oatmeal until I tried steel cut. It has "bite" to it and tastes nutty. I cook it with milk and then add fruit, nothing else.
I want to try it with unsweetened Cocoa powder and almond butter.
-
Usually maple syrup and raisins. Today I was out of raisins so I added dried cherries.
-
Peanut butter and cocoa powder. Nomnom!
-
Plain with sliced bananas and raisins if I'm doing just plain rolled oats. If I'm going to the trouble of steel cut oats, then I toast the oats with butter, then add 3 parts water and 1 part almond milk at the end with a pinch of salt.
-
I add a tbsp of mini choc chips and a banana as toppings.
-
Pecans, milk, a little brown sugar.
-
I love oatmeal so much! I'm always changing up my add ins.
Here are some of my favorites: peanut butter, brown sugar, maple syrup, diced dried fruit (dried cherries, apricots, prunes), half a banana, cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice, nuts (cashews, almonds or walnuts), hemp hearts or chia seeds, splash of almond milk.
-
I make regular oatmeal (just with water), then when cooked, I add coconut greek yogurt and blueberries/and strawberries. YUM! It's my LOs favorite breakfast too
-
I just read through all the responses, and can't believe nobody else has tried it with greek yogurt. It makes it so yummy, and adds more protein. Try it!
-
If I'm being less healthy, I like old fashioned oats made with only 3/4 c milk, then I like to add brown sugar and butter. If I'm being healthy, I do egg white oatmeal with protein powder but it's not stellar by any means
-
I use either steel cut oats if I plan far in advance (holds up as leftovers!), or old-fashioned oats (still better than instant). Then I add half-and-half or cream, brown sugar, maybe some raisins.
