It's nice to add Cinnamon to your oatmeal, but have you tried other spices? I like Pumpkin Pie spice in my morning oatmeal and it makes it less boring too.
MORE INFORMATION:
Experiment with other spices in your cupboard, I'm sure you will find some other favorites too. How much or how little you add is up to you.

You are right about spicing it up. I tried dark chocolate but that is too good to be able to give up, I went back to cinnamon or my best add is to cook half a banana in it Pat in Maine.

I have gingerbread flavored syrup sweetened with Splenda that I have added to my oatmeal (and my yogurt) that makes a great combination and sometimes chopped up apples then microwave even regular oatmeal only 1 minute...

Get Your Breakfast Veggies
A wonderful breakfast treat this holiday season is oatmeal for breakfast - with a twist. Use only half or 2/3 the normal serving of oatmeal, with smashed banana and pumpkin (great way to get breakfast veggies) and a few grams of chopped walnuts and or raisins, prunes, etc. Then mix in pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, calorie free sweetener or better yet, sugar free pancake syrup . MMmm, MMmm, GOOD!
