Okay /fit/. I followed your advice and dumped the instant oatmeal for the real sorts.

What the fuck am I doing wrong with my oatmeal that it tastes fucking nasty? I'm throwing in some water and trying to mix in either walnuts or bananas. Both=nasty so far. Should I add in milk? Should I put in some whey-protein? Just deal with it? Is there a better way to make it?

I'm a dumbass. Please explain how you make this wonderful treat so it doesn't taste so much like shit in Racheal Ray fucking terms.

I agree. Oatmeal tastes so much better with milk.

That doesn't look cooked.... O.o
but anyway equal amounts water and oatmeal, and cook till a grey goo, then take off the heat, add honey and or brown sugar and a little bit of milk to taste if you want it to taste milky. Tastes heaps better than the instant shit you just pour some hot water over blegh >.o

oooor if you're averse to cooking you can also try thiiiis tasty combo
about a handful of oatmeal, just a little more than covering the bottom of the bowl, then drizzle honey all over on top, then add milk till bowl is filled (milk should compose about half or a bit more of the contents of the bowl) then mix it up and enjoy, fucking tasty :D

I forgot to say sprinkle raisins on the top of the oatmeal, then drizzle honey :P

Oatmeal is always better with a little bit of sugar, and the good thing is you don't need very much at all.

Made the most wonderful oatmeal today with cinnamon and honey. Think it was still much healthier than the instant.

Cinnamon, honey, bananas and raisins in oatmeal makes you feel like a chef doing all that just for breakfast, but it tastes freaking AWESOME.

I'd cook it longer by the way, I find I get impatient.

Add your protein just before you eat (as you stir in) it goes funny in heat, or atleast my brand does.

it's going to be nasty, that's how real oats taste.

i use grind it up and put in my protein shakes. banana cream flavored whey + oatmeal + some honey + milk = awesome.

here's what you do:

½ a cup of oatmeal
1 cup of water
1 teaspoon of salt

Either boil it in a pot or give it a blast in the micro, till it's creamy.
stir.
top it off with a bit of sugar if you think it lacks taste.

No. It tastes HORRIBLE to cook with milk. You would want to cook it in water, THEN add small amounts of milk in it. Then add sugar.

Also, that's the basis when you want to add fruits and nuts for it. I prefer Splenda ass my sugar-substitute.
