Answer 2

instead of using the packets - buy a bag of instant oatmeal . Put 1/2 cup oatmeal and 1 cup very hot tap water in a LARGE bowl, and microwave for 1 min 35 seconds. Its cheaper than the packets, just as easy, and tastes better. The pre-flavoured ones have a bit of an off-taste from the artificial flavourings.Then you can add the flavors you like, brown sugar, maple syrop, raisins, cinnamon and apple sauce, sliced or frozen strawberries or blueberries.

Answer 3

Cook your oatmeal using milk instead of water; add a little bit of butter and some cinnamon to the brown sugar, top with fruit like applesauce, dried blueberries or cranberries, or sliced banana and it should taste lovely.

Answer 4

do you make it with milk or water?....try making it with milk...its makes it taste better.
otherwise, try adding some flavorings...like Vanilla...or you can buy some LorAnn Oils...add a drop or 2 into your oatmeal and its a totally different flavor.
Also maybe add in some fruit if you have it on hand...
or add in a spoonful of Cream Cheese and let it melt away in there....or if your feeling good...add a scoop of vanilla ice cream to it and let it melt in it...probably not the healthiest thing...but it tastes great!
