I do this on the regular. A couple friends saw me eating this at lunch onetime back in high school and said "eww, you actually like oatmeal?" I let them have a taste, they still like to remind me on occasion how great it is. One of them even makes it for his girlfriend.

That's an easy one. You can add some cacao powder to make it chocolate flavor and add stevia for sweetness or use some cinnamon or mixed spices or nutmeg to it. And perhaps flavored flaxseed too.

>>9231802
Go for savory. If you only add a small amount of sugar it's bland and if you add more it's just dessert. Make it like normal with milk instead of water, let it firm up a bit for a minute or two, then add more milk or cream and salt. Don't stir the extra milk or cream in, let it make a pool around the oatmeal and take some of it with each spoonful.

Also you can soak them in milk for 10-20 minutes until soft if you have instant oats, after that add wheat or corn flake cereal with more milk and walnuts. I eat this pretty often and really like it, doesn't need any sugar.

Oats, fresh milk, add cacao nibs and some sweetener. Tastes awesome.

Stevia + some fruit

The fructose masks the stevia a bit so it's barely noticeable.

If I'm doing meal prep and have the time I blend Greek yogurt with whatever berry I'm feeling that week. Pour into Mason jars, top with a bunch of quick oats.

Dice up 4 fucking strawberries and you have plenty of fruit and you've added less than 25 calories.

i said sweetened fruit, not just fruit. and a teaspoon of sugar only has like 15 calories but that doesn't mean it's healthy. not saying fruit is bad though, but i think op didn't want to use sugar in oatmeal at all and a bunch of people are posting telling him to use sugar or other sweeteners.

overnight oats is for fags

only true way to eat oatmeal is the scottish way
1 part oat 3 part water dash of salt
stir as it cooks to desired creaminess

it's important to find what kind of oats you like best. for me steel cut is so much better than regular, it just tastes better, especially plain

eat it plain
eat it with a splash of milk
eat it with real maple syrup (good, expensive)
eat it with raw, organic honey (my preferred way, just a small amount of honey though)
brown sugar is good but not healthy so I say nay

I also like a small bowl/cup of milk on the side and to dip the bite I'm about to eat into the milk instead of just pouring the milk onto the oats. works better than trying to keep the milk on one side of the same bowl, too.

you can add cinnamon which is bomb
or you can add any fruit
or both.

you can also cook it savory but fuck that, grits are better for that

I take oatmeal eating very seriously, it's my daily fucking art along with my tea (which I brew multiple times daily).

>> No.9232294

>>9232277
You can get 0 calorie sweeteners but they usually aren't a better alternative unless your only concern is weight. The reason they're 0 calorie is because your body can't digest them and they mess up the bacteria in your digestive system while still training you to need sweet foods.

aspartame is fully digestible by the body.

When I was in the military I'd add sunflower butter or peanut butter if that wasn't available. Mix it in and make something vaguely like food. The addition of powdered cacao makes it into a decent desert without terribly huge sugar intake.

I make oatmeal every day with

>2.5 tablespoons chia/ground flax/hemp seed mix

for me it is a daily routine but
oatmeal is full of fiber and is complex carbs

also nobody who eats oatmeal regularly is fat, wtf it's a health food low calorie/weight cooked

>> No.9233696

Okay let me give you some thoughts/ conditions about oatmeal.
1. Are you making good oatmeal, and not shit from a packet? Because if you're not making good oatmeal, nothing will make it better. Good oatmeal should be palatable on its own. Americans are dumb shits about oatmeal, and I say that as an American. Learn to do it right, and you may not need anything but a little salt or butter.
2. If you're making steel cut/ scotch/ irish oats already, and you're not overcooking them into a nasty sludge, consider buying whole oat groats. You can cook them like any whole grains. They'll be firmer and chewier and go better with savory foods.
3. If you try all that and you still can't eat them without sugar, *maybe you don't fucking like oats and should eat something else*.
