I eat my oatmeal plain with two fried eggs on top and then you break the yolk and mix it together. It may sound gross but give it a try especially for people who exercise a lot and want a breakfast that will hold them throughout the morning plus get some good protein in your morning diet.

This is so gross, but I love plain old oats. Poor some raw oats into a bowl and give me a spoon. No water, no nothing. I just think it tastes great.
Because of that fondness, when I want an ice cream treat, I put plain oats in a bowl topped with a small scoop of vanilla ice cream. Then, I sprinkle the whole mess with cinnamon. It's like an awesome oatmeal cookie.

There are many good options above…….here is my morning oat recipe: 1/2 oat, boiled in water, when finished add fresh spearmint/ mint leaves, dash of cayenne, 1/8 teaspoon blue green algae, cinnamon and raw honey to sweeten. It is refreshing with a little kick while providing antioxidants with cinnamon to balance the sweetness of honey! Enjoy!!!

My power breakfast is oatmeal cooked with vanilla soy milk, topped with ground flax seeds, seasonal fresh fruit, some cinnamon, and toasted pecans or sliced almonds…sometimes both! If I need an extra boost of sweetness, I add some sugar-free maple syrup. Yum!

I like to add a tablesppon of peanutbutter and a teaspoon of brown sugar to my cooked oatmeal.

I don’t cook the oats. My aunt gave me this “recipe” which I feel is even more healthy. Regular original toasted rolled oats, diced apple and any other fruit you like such as blueberries, soy milk (add this first so oats soak up and get soft), or you can use regular organic milk or almond milk, etc., a little agave syrup, and walnuts or almonds could be used. Sooo good!

i have celiac, so I can't eat most oatmeal. Bob's Red Mill makes the only gluten-free rolled oats I know of. He makes several kinds of oats that are not gluten-free, so you have to make sure it specifically states "gluten free" on the package. Lately I've only found them on his website.

I agree with the pumpkin addition, but another thing I love to add to my oatmeal is peanut butter. It melts in the oatmeal and helps thicken it a bit more. It also makes for a more filling bowl of oats.

I add rolled oats to my apple crisps. They soak up some of the apple juice to become soft and add a little bit of gooeyness..mmm
