How do you prepare your oatmeal? (lemmy.world)

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 like to add basically a chai spice mix. I'm a snob when it comes to chai, so I'll mortar/pestle up spices to use for chai, and I'll often do enough at once for multiple batches (even though it's best completely fresh). It goes really well in oats. If you want the lazier version, "pumpkin spice" mix in the US is basically a chai spice mix.

For savory oats, I treat it like congee. There's a lot of ways to make it, but you can either take it in a western direction (chicken stock, bacon, fried eggs, etc) or more Asian (dashi/miso stock, soy sauce, sesame, ramen egg, etc.).
