Half a cup of plain steel-cut oatmeal. 1/2 cup of almond milk. Microwave for 1 minute. Add two teaspoons of honey. Stir.

Good god.

I make mines with steel cut oats cooked on the stove with almond milk. I use agave as my sweetener. I also add berries, flax seed and various nuts.

Wow, just finished eating a bowl of multi-grain oatmeal. I made it with coconut milk and a pinch of salt. I usually top it with brown sugar or raspberry jam, but I have some agave nectar so I used that. Pretty great!
 
I always get maple and brown sugar oatmeal.

Boil it in a pot and add some 2% milk to cool it down a bit after putting it in a bowl.

I've been making small batches and splitting it into containers to pull for breakfast throughout the week. Pumpkin, blueberries, toasted almonds, banana, almond butter, chia seeds. Sometimes I bake it, sometimes I leave it soggy.

Cinnamon, some kind of nuts (ground flax seed is a good choice), maybe a little honey or maple syrup. Or keep it simple with a little cream and fruit preserves/butter if I don't have it plain.

Almond milk is usually my go-to choice for adding something milk based- but any milk is fine by me when it's in a small amount in oatmeal. They all do the trick, really.

Dump pouch into bowl, fill pouch to dotted line with almond milk and pour in.
Microwave for 1:20.
Let sit for 2 minutes.
 
1 cup of old-fashioned oats
1 cup of milk
Microwave on 60% power for 4 minutes
Add some cinnamon (probably a teaspoon or two, I'm not sure)
Add a scoop of protein powder (plain or vanilla-flavored)
Put a carton of fruit-flavored Greek yogurt on top

Boom. So good.

Alternatively, throwing some fresh strawberries, bananas, or blueberries in instead of the yogurt is acceptable.

Mmmmm now I want to start using pumpkin. Your recipe sounds bang bang.
 
2 tbsp butter or olive oil
1/4 cup steal cut oats
1 tsp cinnamon
1 1/2 cups water or milk
dash salt

optional additions, mix and match, to taste:
honey
dried fruit
sliced apples
chopped nuts (almonds, macadamia, brazil, pecans, etc.)
peanut butter
maple syrup
brown sugar
more butter / olive oil
plain greek yogurt

In a medium saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Toast oats and cinnamon in butter until golden brown (about 2 minutes). Add water / milk and salt. Bring to boil, then simmer uncovered on low heat for ~30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add more liquid if needed. After ~30 minutes, add whatever additional ingredients you feel like adding, stir, turn off the heat, cover and let sit five minutes. Eat.
 
Cool, never really knew much about steel-cut vs rolled oats distinction. I don't even know which I use...basically, the (non-instant) stuff from that Quaker Oats tube.

I basically just cook it slow on medium to low heat until it gets to the consistency I like (which is a bit goopy but the oats are still chewy).

After it's done, stir in some raisins and crushed walnuts. Then add in whatever honey I have on hand.

1 cup oats
2 cups water (more or less)
Microwave 3 minutes or so
Add brown sugar and a bit of milk

Had some this morning. I don't know why I make this much, it's like double the serving recommendation. Whatever, I can eat it all.

Also made some decent oatmeal cookies a couple weeks ago.
 
1/2 cup steel cut oats uncooked, 1 cup of plain Greek yogurt, 1/2 cup fresh or frozen fruit

OR

1/2 cup oats, 1 cup whole milk, microwave 1 min 30 sec, mix in fruit or honey/brown sugar.
