There is a large selection of flavorful oatmeal varieties on the market these days.

Plain oatmeal, either instant, rolled, or steel-cut oats, should be used for these recipes. Simply prepare the oatmeal according to the package directions and then use any of the quick breakfast recipe ideas listed and add what you like and swirl it into your warm cereal.
