mindy, this is what i’m best at. i had a club in high school called the breakfast club where we just made different hot cereals every morning. i think the first key is to figure out what kind of oatmeal texture you like: thick, soupy, etc to figure out your base— ashley ray, Kate Winslet’s Vape Coach (@theeashleyray) January 9, 2022

I blend half an apple or banana and add that right at the end of cooking the oats and warm it through… I like to add cinnamon always… and top with blueberries and almond flakes!— Nathalie Emmanuel (@missnemmanuel) January 9, 2022

Start by boiling coconut milk, then add cinnamon to it and almond butter. Later add the actual oatmeal. Put some chopped apples, nuts of your choosing, and chia seeds in a bowl before adding oatmeal to it. Top with a tiny dash of honey. Mix.— Jerrica Tisdale (@jtwritergirl) January 9, 2022

Steal cut oats with a little cinnamon and honey/brown sugar. Delicious.— Dana Goldberg (@DGComedy) January 9, 2022

Quick-cook steel-cut oats. Best 7 minutes of your day. Bring 1 cup water to boil. Pour in 1/2 cup oats, reduce to simmer. Cook for 6 mins, stirring in bananas, blueberries, raisins, whatevs. Let sit 1 min. Mix in coconut milk & a tiny bit of peanut butter. Enjoy!— Drew R. Garabo (@DrewOnTheRadio) January 9, 2022

Cookies. Always cookies.— Jaren Lewison (@LewisonJaren) January 10, 2022

I’ve been making oatmeal and yellow dhal khichdi in place of rice.— riteshbatra (@riteshbatra) January 9, 2022

Add blueberries, brown sugar and a dash of coffee— Emily Nussbaum (@emilynussbaum) January 9, 2022

I do it every morning! Regular oats plunked in a ceramic bowl that is deep enough (so it doesn’t overflow). Add water till just above the line of oats. Microwave for 2 min. One scoop of peanut butter, a splash of Ripple milk and a few berries if I am feeling really fancy.— Dana Fox (@inthehenhouse) January 9, 2022
