I eat oatmeal almost every morning and I'm looking for options to change things up a bit. My go to is usually old fashioned oats with diced apples, raisins, and cinnamon. Sometimes I'll add some candied ginger.

I was thinking of making savory oats, but I love my sweet oats in the morning so I haven't gotten around to it yet.

I'm big on fruits and dairy. Berries and butter, cream and tree fruits, cheese and apples, even sour cream with roasted apples (seriously, it's better than it sounds).

Sometimes I'll go savory, do some cheese cubes and sauage, maybe crumble in bacon and pepper it up with some butter too. Oooh! Goat cheese, dates, and bacon!

But warming spices tend to be a great base for additions across the board. Cinnamon, some allspice, nutmeg, maybe mace and cloves, cumin even. Whatever mix I'm in the mood for. You can go sweet on top of that, maybe brown sugar or maple. Add fruits. Or just go with just the spices plus salt.

Mind you, that's quick oats microwaved or stovetop. Instant oats like in packets, I tend to just add a little milk or a juice and leave it at that.

Which, btw, a little fruit juice brings sweetness and taste to any oatmeal. You can even cook oats in it just fine.
