Do You Add Anything To Oatmeal?

Cook regular old-fashioned (rolled) oats with a diced apple. When it's done I add a little unsweetened applesauce and maybe some berries.

I prefer fresh cooked oatmeal to overnight oats, but will sometimes snack on uncooked oats with a little applesauce on it. Weird maybe, but I like the taste and texture.

nothing better for enhancing the flavor
 
I usually make a big batch that will last me a few days so I start with 3 cups of quick oatmeal. Then I add butter, brown sugar, white sugar, 2 eggs, vanilla, flour, baking soda, salt, and chocolate chips. I find it easier to eat if I bake small balls of my oatmeal for 12 minutes.
 
I just found a new recipe for baked oatmeal, and it looked pretty simple and easy; so this morning I made a loaf of the baked oatmeal, and we both had some for breakfast. It is not too sweet (would depend on how much sugar was added), and can also be a good evening snack, I think.
It is basically just oatmeal, yogurt, apples and blueberries, with some sugar, eggs and baking powder , and then mix and bake it.

Here is how mine turned out. F0840E43-55BE-4895-8989-CF7626CF0B43.jpeg

And here is the youtube recipe:

 
Let's see, Mom always added plenty of sugar and butter. Then my sister would take my glass of milk and pour it in the bowl when Mom was'nt looking. Mom always thought I did it and was forced to eat that way.

Now, all grown up I still pour cold milk over the top and I love it!!
 
This morning I made oatmeal muffins that call for cereal rather than the ground oatmeal. I prepped the dry ingredients last night. Added the wet ingredients and pecans this morning. Did six of them with a little blob of jam in the middle. They’re ok. I’m used to very heavy and healthy bran muffins. Think I’ll delete this recipe from my files.

They didn’t rise much so I’m wondering if my baking powder is too old.

I cook oatmeal, usually about 3 days worth. Makes clean up easier and then re-heat in the microwave. It may sound unappealing but it tastes fine to me. I also don't like to initially cook my oatmeal in the microwave. It seems to come out different.

I usually put in raisins or a dried fruit blend from Trader Joe's. Also peanut butter is good in oatmeal. And I add cinnamon and a pumpkin spice blend.

Any other ideas to add to oatmeal or what do you add if anything?

I love making overnight oatmeal, put it in the refrigerator, warm up in microwave and it is such an easy morning breakfast.
 
I buy the bulk groats and run then thru the blender a few minutes. I add salt, real butter, raw honey, blueberries and a banana. I usually have this 3 or 4 times a week. 30 minutes to cook...
 
I used the quick oats cooked in a bowl in the microwave with a dash of salt. Then I add brown sugar, cinnamon and blueberries or other fruit.

I always cook oatmeal ( named porridge here ) in a pot and not the micro oven . I don't buy instant oats or quick cook oatmeal...

It's a traditional Scottish breakfast and as I'm a Scot born and raised.. I always have salt on mine as is the Scottish tradition ( but arms raised in horror by purists, I add some sugar and skimmed milk)..if I add raisins or sliced banana I don't add sugar

I used to enjoy mine with just salt.

(I don’t eat oatmeal these days.)
