what do you do to spice up oatmeal (baking, cheese, cooking)

[Fubarbundy]

BBQ sauce, steak sauce, and Tabasco with grated parmesan and a bit of parsley or cilantro?

[Michael Way]

I just add a heaping teaspoon of cinnamon and a quarter teaspoon of salt. It's good.

[Cliffie]

I cook mine in orange juice and add a pinch of dried berries -- cran- or blueberries, usually.

I tend to be a savory breakfast fan, and have been thinking about trying something savory with the oatmeal. Might be a bit weird, but won't know until I try!

I'm in the same boat! Just bought a bag of steel-cut oats but don't know how to dress them up. Will be following your progress with interest! Cheese?

I love oatmeal and it's versatility. There are tons of ways to change it up so I will just give one of my all time favorites.


My super duper healthful protein powered oatmeal is:
I mix in a bowl the following;
oatmeal
flax seeds (or chia seeds)
whey or vegan protein powder (I like vanilla but you can use chocolate or plain flavored)
walnuts
skim milk
And whatever sweetener you prefer (I use monk fruit or stevia but you can use sugar or honey also)


I don't use any specific measurements on the ingredients and I also like my oatmeal more on the soupy side so I adjust the milk accordingly to get the consistency I want.


Pop it in the microwave until done and voila. Super healthy.

I put in some crazins, slivered almonds, just a bit of brown sugar.. This if I'm packing it for lunch..
At home anything goes...

[mainebrokerman]

I add raisins, apple slices, and cinnamon

[Sage 80]

Cook in milk
sugar: either brown or white, or a combination
salted butter
cinnamon
nutmeg
raisins
vanilla


I cook the oats with extra liquid for a long time on a low fire so that they can get really soft.
