Do you put butter in your oatmeal?!

Best Answer - Chosen by Voters

Yes, just a bit and some salt, sugar and milk. Yum
Oatmeal has lot of fiber, some trace minerals but is not a 'super food'.
Butter when eaten in moderation is fine.

I've never made oatmeal with butter in it. If you think that the taste is too plain without the butter but still want to keep the nutritional value, try adding just a little bit of cinnamon or brown sugar. If she still insists on the butter, try using low cholesterol butter, like I Can't Believe Its Not Butter. Oatmeal is known to be very good for you, so I really don't think it is designed to be served with a high amount of butter. Good luck!

I always have I guess cause that is the way I was taught when I grew up . I have tasted it without butter and I don't want it if it doesn't have butter or margarine or butter buds or something. I want either sugar or Splenda and milk. Don't need anything else except salt. :)
So I would think adding a bit of butter to get me to eat it would be better than not eating it at all right> Still good for cholesterol. I don't mean drowned it in butter.

i use boiled water, plain quaker oats (the one in the cylinder).
then i add in protein powder (im gymnassttt) and cinnamon, and a dash of sugar.

As a snack, no.

But as cooking a dish, like Cereal Butter Prawns.... YES!
Wanna see the recipe?

I'm with your mom. After you eat it with oatmeal, you won't want it without. When I'm feeling fat, I just don't have oatmeal.

will it is not as healthy with butter in it
but then again i like a lot of sugar and butter in mine so it is not healthy at all

PERSONALLY THAT SOUNDS TERRABLE. HAHA

EXCUSE MY SPELLLING :)

I never have, but I have known people that do. I do put butter in my grits though.

i never put butter in oatmeal. i just use water cinamon and raisins its the best!

its bad and unhealthy try putting some fresh fruits in it yum!

It's sounds gross to me, but a lot of people do it....
