Healthy way to eat oatmeal

So I've found that instant oatmeal has WAY too much sugar in it but plain oatmeal is really really gross (in my opinion at least).

So I was making granola today and it occurred to me that I could just heat up some unsweetened apple juice (I only use a very little liquid in my oatmeal because I like it clumpy) and stick it in regular old plain oatmeal. Sprinkle on a little cinnamon (helps regulate blood sugar) and you've got breakfast! I'm gonna try it tomorrow. You could even add apple bits, raisins, and/or nuts! Oh I'm so excited!

You mean just plain oats and apple juice? I have oats at home. Sounds easy! Let me know how it comes out!

That sounds good. You could try it with unsweetened applesauce too...I just make my oatmeal like regular, and then dump a single-serving cup of applesauce in to it. Add a little cinnamon...dee-lish!

I put Sugarfree Maple Syrup in my plain oatmeal and or some sliced almonds for the crunch factor....super yummy!

That sounds great! I always put 1 or 2 packets of Splenda in my oatmeal. On occasion I also like to mix in a small spoonful of peanut butter.

Re: Healthy way to eat oatmeal

i usually put a teaspoon of brown sugar, a little maple syrup, a little honey and some cinnamon in mine. raisins are good too.

sometimes i put a tablespoon of peanut butter in it with honey and, if i have one, a banana. it sounds gross but it tastes delish!

I put a little bit of milk in. Little sprinkle of brown sugar and dried cranberries. Yummy!
