Anyone know any good ingredients to add to Oatmeal, because the plain stuff taste really bad.

Search on this for specific recipes. I use cinnamon and honey primarily for flavor. Bananas, apples, raisins, topped with granola..All of these are very good in addition to the flavorings. Also, in shake form, mixed with milk, eggs (cooked), honey, cinnamon, bananas, any of the above - it is delicious.

If you go to designerwhey.com, in the recipe section, they have an oatmeal recipe that sounds pretty good, also some members have made previous posts about oatmeal so maybe you could do a search.

I put vanilla flavor in and splenda. To add some protien I also mix in Vanilla Whey protien. Sugar cookie Oatmeal!

Or I put in some Chocolate protien powder, splenda, and Peanut butter. Resese Oatmeal!

Give this a try, I think its a great way to have oatmeal besides in a bowl. I bet you could throw some protien powder in it, but I havent tried that

Applesauce-Oatmeal Raisin Cake Recipe courtesy Elizabeth Alston
1 1/2 cups water
1 cup old-fashioned oats
1 cup dark raisins
1/2 teaspoons salt
1 cup packed dark brown sugar
1 cup unsweetened applesauce
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
2 large eggs

13 by 9-inch baking pan
Bring the water to a boil in a medium-size saucepan over moderately high heat. Stir in the oats. When the liquid returns to a boil, stir in the raisins and salt. Reduce the heat and simmer 4 to 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the oats are soft and the water is absorbed. Remove from heat, stir in the sugar, applesauce, and oil. Cool to lukewarm. Meanwhile, heat the oven to 350 degrees, and grease the pan. Put the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and nutmeg into a large bowl. Stir to mix well. Stir the eggs into the oat mixture. Add the flour mixture, and stir just until moistened. Spread in the prepared pan and bake 30 to 40 minutes, or until the cake starts to shrink from the sides of the pan and a wooden pick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean. Place the pan on a wire rack to cool. The cake is good served warm. Or cool completely, cover tightly, and store overnight at room temperature before serving or freezing.
