Instead of regular old oatmeal (which I'm not too crazy about) try making savory oatmeal - just cook it the same way, but instead of adding honey/raisins/apples etc, just add a dash of dried chicken/vegetable stock, or a some crumbles of bouillon cube.

It ends up tasting like stove-top stuffing that was cooked too long.
Much more palatable for my tastes. (I'm not a sweet tooth except for chocolate)
