All the accompaniments suggested are sweet so I'll say something I've said before: oatmeal works fine with savory accompaniments. If it's made at the normal porridge-like thickness, any toppings or add-ins that work with Asian rice porridge recipes (congee, dakjuk, etc.) will work with it. If it's made with a very thick consistency, it can be treated similarly to mashed potatoes or polenta
Great point! Also, steel-cut oats can replace grits in dishes such as grits and eggs. An improvement health-wise obviously, but arguably also taste-wise.
Why are you all heating it?, eat it raw with milk unheated
Cumin powder goes well in oatmeal as a savory addition.
