Cinnamon

Sprinkling cinnamon can add a depth of flavor to your oatmeal. Mix it with granulated sugar before adding it to the oatmeal and add a pinch of salt just before eating.

Brown Sugar

Sprinkle brown sugar over hot oatmeal and allow it to melt for added sweetness and depth of flavor. For a richer, more caramel flavor, opt for dark brown sugar.

Nuts

Add chopped pecans, almonds, cashews, or hazelnuts for added flavor and crunch — toast them beforehand to enhance their taste. For a creamy oatmeal, use nut butter instead.

Fruit

Use fresh or macerated fruit to elevate the taste of your dish. Add bananas for a subtle sweetness or use berries for a mix of sweet and tart; try combining different fruits.

Dried Fruit

Adding dried fruits to your oatmeal enhances its flavor and introduces a variety of textures, ranging from chewy options like raisins to crunchy ones like apple slices.
