Oatmeal Snob + hybrid driver. Let me guess, you have a MacBook and an iPhone too 😉

j/k 😀

I love the instant stuff. Pop open the package, toss it in a bowl, put in 2/3 cup of water and 1:42 later (yes, I have the time down to the second) and deliciousness awaits 🙂

No cell phone of any kind...I've never owned any Apple product...and no tree-hugging Prius in my fleet...

BUT, if I'm gonna eat oatmeal, that "single-serving" powered crap they market for children just ain't gonna do it for me. I prefer my oatmeal with some texture.
 
I've only ever eaten Quaker Oats and I always get the Old Fashion. Ever notice though that the oats use to be a lot bigger?

Lately, my wife got me hooked on putting Craisins in my oatmeal which is especially delicious.

Have her soak the craisins for a couple of hours or even over night before putting them in the oatmeal...preferably in a good brandy or rum...

lol you're full of shit old man
 
1 packet of instant maple and brown sugar + 1 packet of instant apple cinnamon + 1mm below the 1 cup line of boiling water = reason to wake up in the morning
 
I go to the bulk section and buy some combination of:

Quick oats
Raisins
Blueberries
Cranberries
Brown Sugar
Yellow Sugar
French vanilla oat clusters

I like it because I'm extremely retarded in the morning and pouring hot water on a bowl of pre-mixed oatmeal falls within my skill threshold.
 
I love Oatmeal with raisins and honey, but another favorite way that I usually have it is with vanilla yoghurt, chocolate protein powder and peanut butter, mixed with my oatmeal. It tastes like a creamy peanut butter cup and is very good and nutritious. Good way to start breakfast.
 
Quick oats...cook on the stovetop for 5 min, serve with blueberries, strawberries and milk.

No need for sugar, maple syrup or butter. Yuck. That's tantamount to spoiling perfectly good black coffee by adding cream and sugar.

Silly children...a pat of butter (not margarine, not some foofy spread...butter) in a nice hot bowl of oatmeal is GOOD...

I love irish steel cut oats, but it takes so long to cook.

If I want oatmeal in a hurry, rolled oats with a little milk, strawberries, and sugar will do the trick as well.

So Aldi at one point sold something called quick cook steel cut oats. I bought a few canisters (they were cheap too) and damn if they aren't awesome. Takes about 5 minutes to cook and they taste very similar to full on steel cut oats. I think Trader Joes may sell something similar, not sure.

First of all you insult my intelligence to think I would even consider one of those "foofy" spreads. I only use real salted butter. Lastly, butter on oatmeal is like a white guy walking around in Harlem after midnight - it just doesn't belong there.
