I’ve been eating oatmeal almost daily for almost ten years, still love it. Cook 1 minute oats in milk on the stove, add a couple chocolate chips, chopped frozen strawberries and walnuts. Delicious!

I’m trying to love oats because my blood work last year wasn’t great and I want much better results this December - so I’ve got 10 weeks to do everything possible to get my lipids in order.
I’ve recently cut out refined sugar because of all the evidence that it acts as a poison in the body. I might drizzle in some raw unfiltered honey or some pure maple syrup since both have phytonutrients, but I’m hoping to stick to apples, bananas and berries for most of the sweet that goes with the porridge.
My plan is to cook the oats in water and stir in some plain yogurt for creaminess. I could use milk if people think that’s critical? But definitely no butter, I only use one stick per month now and don’t want to backslide.
I cook mine in water — with cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla. Then I often add peanut butter or almond butter with a few raisins or chocolate chips, or with dried cherries.
That sounds fantastic, I will try that option too. I have dried cranberries on hand and would like to try those with dark chocolate chips - yum!
I AM GOING TO LEARN TO LOVE OATS!

I was at a resort this summer that had delicious overnight oats with fresh berries. I can't seem to recreate it myself - they likely used a ton of sugar and I'm trying to make it healthier. I would gladly eat that version daily!

I love oats. I have them every morning with berries and a scoop of Justin’s PB. Delicious. A friend shared this combo with me, and I am hooked.

Instant oats are awful, IMO. If I tried only those, I'm quite sure I would hate oatmeal.
Rolled oats are great made with milk (not water) on the stovetop.
For steel cut oats, I like Alton Brown's recipe:

I did. My doc told me I needed to eat them for cholesterol.
I covered them in ALL the stuff. I stirred in yogurt and jam, brown sugar, vanilla, streusel topping, chopped fruit. Over time I genuinely came to love them. They are comforting and filling.
Mark Bittman has recipes for savory oatmeal, if that’s more your speed. I’ve heard cheddar in oatmeal is also amazing.

If you haven’t tried steel cut (Irish), start there.
I’m not mad about the regular kind, but love those—much more texture.

Are oats important? I happen to love them but have been avoiding them because of the carbs.

maybe add them to a smoothie or sprinkle dry oats on top of yogurt? No mushy texture either of those ways.

If you don't like the taste of oats but want to eat them, there are other recipes you can add them to, like meatballs or meat loaf, muffins and quickbreads, breading chicken or fish, or to thicken soups. In some of these you'd want to pulverize the dry oats in a food processor first, and others they can go in whole.

Overnight oats work for me during the summer --I mix with chia seeds, berries, and bananas, and Chobani yogurt drink diluted with milk.
In fall and winter, I like oats with grated apple and cinnamon. Toasted nuts are nice, too, on top. TJs sometimes carries honey roasted almond slices which a perfect on top of oatmeal.

Chia pudding is much better. I can’t stand oats. Too glob-like.

Well, you could try Irish oats. They are not mushy.
Or you could use oat flour in your baked goods. I take oats, grind them up, and put them in all sorts of recipes.
