I just lob some cinnamon, splenda into it as a base
sometimes i add a dash of cocoa for chocolate oatmeal
or natty pb and a dollop of sugar free/low sugar strawberry jam for a pb and J oatmeal
just be creative
one favourite for people is to allow th oatmeal to cool down then add a scoop of ur favourite protein powder.

Just dropping in 3 or 4 packages of Equal does the trick for me.

Skim milk, splenda, cinnamon, & sometimes for a treat raisins & chopped apple & walnuts
I make mine very dry, then i make a very thick protien shake, Like 1 scoop in as little water as possible. After the oatmeal is done cooking, and is very dry, add the thick protein shake, prefferably chocolate. I eat this everyday, and it tastes good. you could also add some more splenda to it.

some dried fruit (esp dried blueberries and cranberries) if you are not on keto
cinnamon, nutmeg, pinch cloves

then add just enough keto maple syrup or real maple syrup or honey to bind (not much)

I also recently started eating oatmeal for breakfast. Tried it straight up for two days, just cooking 1 cup of it in 2 cups of water. Tasted like wet cardboard, so I bought some Splenda to dash on it after cooking. That helped a little but not enough, so I bought some raisins to sprinkle in. As long as I get one raisin per spoonful I'm OK, though it still doesn't taste great.
Are raisins a good thing in the morning or do they spike your insulin too much? I'm still trying to think of something better to add to the oatmeal...

i had a similar problem. i hated oatmeal, but really wanted to like it. this is what i did:
buy the regular oats (not the instant)
take a slice of an apple, and chop it up into small pieces
add chopped apple to 1 cup of water
bring water to a boil
reduce heat to simmer and add oats
when done mix with 1 cup of vanilla protein powder (i use promax by sportpharma), cinnamon, and 1 tablespoon of Flax seed meal (i get mine from Trader Joes)
i love this stuff. i will eat it 2-3 times a day.

Just keep eating it raw.
1) fill mouth
2) chew a little
3) flood mouth with water, swish a little, and it goes down the hatch.
Remember you don't eat because stuff tastes good, you eat for nutritional value.
If you really want to incentivize getting it down, take these two tips from me.
1) Set your countdown timer on your watch to 1 minute 30 seconds. Complete one mouthfull each cycle.
2) Drop a few peanut M&Ms into the cup. Consume them as it goes down (don't go overboard, but a few won't hurt).

Irish "Steel cut oats", slow cooked in hot water, add cream, stir alot, add real brown sugar stir some more = Good Eats + Great nutrition, (the steel cut oat is not rolled yet there for the body must break it down (soluble fiber) thus burning fat and cals.!

the best nuts are considered to be walnutsleanchic said:
but they can be bitter sometimes
pecans are similar
i love hazelnuts
have i mentioned that?
peanuts are good too if you are not allergic
in the states i know you cannot bring peanuts into schools so that is out
all nuts are good
even soynuts (esp for women)
all seeds are good too
the key to anything is variety and not eating the same old every single day
