Many of you shared your delectable oatmeal mix-in combinations in my 6 Health Reasons to Eat Oatmeal post. I thought I’d share the love by posting some of your yummiest ways to warm up a cold morning. Enjoy!
“I add 2 tablespoons of raisins to the water when I cook my oatmeal. Then sprinkle with cinnamon and serve with skim milk.” –Mary
“I have a small, inexpensive rice cooker that does a wonderful job on
oatmeal. I replace about a third of the water with skim milk, and add a
few raisins, (the tiny snack boxes work great), and a few dried
cranberries, flip the switch and let it go. Occasionally, I’ll add a few chocolate chips after it’s cooked.” –Anonymous
“I add natural applesauce, lots of cinnamon, and a handful of walnuts!” –Katherine
“I usually add dark chocolate 70% cocoa to my oatmeal every morning. I get the benefit of antioxidants in dark chocolate as well.” –Helen

We are beekeepers, so we add honey to everything. It is wonderful with everything. I have my oatmeal with honey, cinnamon, dried cherries and pecans. Sounds like dessert, doesn’t it? What could be better in the morning than dessert…eat dessert first!

Hi,
I like oatmeal raisin cookies.it’s easy for me to convince myself that they’re healthy. Plus, it seems like they’re always redolent of cinnamon, which can never be bad.
