Here is how the "base" oatmeal is made. I don't use the Chia seeds.


Whipped Banana Oatmeal

• 1/3 cup old fashioned oats
• 1/3 cup 1% or skim or soy milk
• 2/3 cup water (I like my oats a bit liquidy – cut back to 1/2 a cup if you don’t)
• 1/2 a banana, sliced
• 1/2 tbsp chia seeds (they give the best fluffy texture!)
• Pinch of kosher salt
• Vanilla, stirred in at end

Start by combining rolled oats, water, and milk in a saucepan over medium heat. Slice a banana into VERY thin pieces, leaving just a few bigger chunks. Walk away for a few minutes while the oatmeal heats. Once it begins to steam or bubble, stir vigorously at times to “whip” the banana into the oats. The oats will take about 5 minutes on medium heat from start to finish to fully absorb the liquid. They’re done when they reach your desired consistency! Then I stir in vanilla (and often pumpkin or cottage cheese) and portion into bowls. Add any toppings you like, such as almond or peanut butter dollops, nuts, granola, coconut, crumbled granola bars, or trail mix – with dark chocolate chips! Or check out all the combos listed below.

oats, hunney, cinnamon, almonds, raisins.
oats, salt, eggs.
oats, almond butter, jam.

i have oats every single day and those are my 3 standard go-to.

Berries and bananas are not obligatory, at least not for me. In fact, I've been eating oatmeal daily, sometimes twice a day, for the past 9 years, without ever once having berries or bananas in it. For me, it's raisins and brown sugar. For about the past 6 months, I've also added a couple of tablespoons of hemp hearts; it adds an earthy taste.

I have competed well, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.

My Oatmeal is dependant on my day:

2 days/week it's (high protein): 1 cup Steel cut oats (we cook in batches every 4-5 days)
1 scoop chocolate peanut butter whey isolate protein
1/2 cup frozen wild blueberries
1tsp PB2
1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk

1 day/week its (Carbs=Energy: 1 1/3 cup Steel cut oats
1/2 scoop Vanilla or Chocolate Vega sport plant based protein
1 cup spinach
1 banana
1/2 Avocado (when available)
3/4 cup coconut almond milk

The other 4 days are eggs and french toast (serious, egg whites and cinnamon).

I eat slow cooked steel cut oats only. Everything else tastes like cardboard. I put in some butter, walnuts and coconut. Not too much.

Simplify, Train, Live

Right now keeping it simple:

Old fashioned oats - about 3/4 cup dry with enough water to cover oats
Microwave 2 mins
Add honey
Add Whole Milk to cool
Stir and Enjoy

If I have it I'll add some walnut or almond pieces, sliced banana, and raisins.
I want to try a bit of sea salt great idea!

Oatmeal seems to be the perfect breakfast for me--no stomach issues and no bonking at morning or lunchtime run.

steel cut irish oats
water
goat milk
spirulina
dates or prunes or raisins
maple syrup
cottage cheese
banana
walnuts
chocolate chips

Here is what I do. Note: this may have already been covered but I am too lazy to read all the replies

Take:
1 cup Plain Greek Yogurt (0 fat)
1 Package of low sugar Quaker Oats flavored (yes I know process slightly)
1 Huge hand full of steel cut oats.
Berries are optional

Mix together and if you like your oats softer than just let is sit for 5 minutes. I frankly don't care and I am usually starving so I eat right away. But it is a great way to add to healthy things together to make something yummy. This fills me up all morning due to high protein and fiber.

I always made my oatmeal with OJ growing up!

Butter and cinnamon.

Peanut butter or nutella (fine... and/or)

Sometimes will make w/ milk instead of water

I also really like the packaged 'fruit and creme' ones :P

This plus more brown sugar, and field berries, and some milk.

I'm partial to oat groats, the truly whole grain version of oats--moreso even than steel-cut. For toppings, I go with extra-virgin olive oil and salt. I know it sounds weird, but it's delicious, and it's nice to completely eliminate added sugars. This also works well pre-race, or pre-workout, as it doesn't have any fruit sugars complicating digestion. Make extra oat groats, keep them in the fridge, and reheat fried-rice style: olive oil in a skillet, add groats, toss to sizzle and crisp, sprinkle salt. Fry an egg flat and slice into strips, toss that in there for extra protein.

Nutella and some kind of berries - yum!

Almond butter is also great.

I was throwing in wheatgerm then realized it was making one of my digestive issues worse. For that same reason I've opted not to try topping it with chia.

EXCEPT - the ratio of oats to liquid for cooking above are:
Steel cut - 1:4 (1/4 cup oats and 1 cup water for one serving)
Old fashioned and quick oats - 1:2 (1/2 cup oats and 1 cup water for one serving)

So per serving steel cut are on par for everything except they're a little lower in sugars, which are negligible anyway, and they beat old fashioned on calcium.

Coaches Oats
Coconut Milk
Ground flaxseed
Ground almonds
Chia Seeds
Vegan Protein Powder

After cooking, add:
Frozen Blueberries
Frozen Cherries

Chocolate milk and raisins. Fast, easy, and tasty (enough) :)

This morning had steal cut oats with 2 slices of bacon mixed in and 1 egg over easy on the top. Still feeling full 6 hours later.

I eat raw oats with cold milk, it is the Norwegian way. You can add on or more incidences like raisins, bananas or jam.
If you eat like a horse, you will run like a horse ;-)

 
- honey
- flax seed
- cinnamon

- banana
- cookie butter from trader joes

- raisins
- yogurt

I have the exact same breakfast everyday except for the rare occasion we are away. Huge bowl of quick oats I just add water from the tea kettle to them then add a few tablespoons of coconut oil a handful of walnuts and top it off with a dash of almond milk

"Base training is bull shit" - desertdude

Am I the only guy that does the instant sugar-added Quaker oatmeal? 2 packets with some hot water, done. Typically apple or maple brown sugar. I've tried various "natural" versions of the same, but they are never any good.

Large flake Quaker Oats, 1 cup oats to 1 cup water, microwave, add a bit of maple syrup (because every Canadian breakfast has to have it) and raisins. Nut allergy here otherwise I would add them too.

OK, so I finally had the balls to do it. Yes, Sriracha sauce on my oatmeal. Why Sriracha? Well, it's pretty hot at the moment (pun intended) and has a bit of a cult following. So, if salt, pepper, and olive oil was pretty tasty, perhaps I could have a bit of luck with this combination.

Old fashioned oats, fresh ground pepper, tiny bit of sea salt (sriracha is salty enough), and a tiny bit of olive oil (I'll try it again without it).

The verdict: While it's not something I may eat for breakfast before going for a long ride, it's actually pretty good. Not as spicy as I would have anticipated given the hot oatmeal/hot sauce combo. But if you like spicy, just add more.

Next up, habañero jelly.
