Oatmeal treats

I bought a large container of plain old-fashioned oats earlier this week and ever since then I've been jumping at every opportunity to have a bowl and try new combinations of add-ins. Here are the one's I've tried (all include oats and flax seed):

Mixed Berry
Brown sugar, frozen strawberries, blueberries and blackberries, topped with vanilla yogurt.

Cinnamon Raisin
Brown sugar, cinnamon, raisins.

Apple Pie
Cinnamon, nutmeg, brown sugar, diced apples, topped with vanilla yogurt.

Here are some I've concocted in my head and am looking forward to trying:

Strawberries & Cream
Sliced fresh strawberries, milk, topped with vanilla yogurt.

Bananas & Cream
Sliced banana, milk, topped with vanilla yogurt.

Apple Walnut
Diced apples, chopped walnuts, brown sugar.

So far my favorite was the mixed berry. Adding a few spoonfuls of vanilla yogurt to the oatmeal really ramps up the flavor and cools it down if it's too hot.
