Just thought I'd mention that there are other forms of oats to eat, that you might possibly like better than oatmeal: steelcut oats and oat groats. I found that I don't care for steelcut, but my husband loves them. I love oat groats, with dates, chopped apple, cinnamon and ground flaxseed. To make both of these easier to cook, use an Instantpot.
For the groats, I cook a big pot and eat from them for 5 or 6 days, adding the above fruits and seasonings to each morning's serving. Also a great dessert. I use a recipe posted on this site: unsoaked groats, 2 1/2 times as much water as groats, cooked 28 minutes in the IP.
For my husband's steelcut oats, I put the oats in the Instantpot the night before with cinnamon, nutmeg, chopped apple, raisins and water. Cook for 14 minutes, which is much longer than most recipes call for. Set to start cooking several hours before you want to eat them, and let them sit on Keep Warm, and they taste even better.
Clean up is just as easy as making oatmeal on the stove.
In our case, we didn't like this at first, but grew to be big fans.
