I eat oatmeal regularly; you don’t need sugar to make it taste good, blueberries are good way to enhance the flavor, I prefer bananas, but other fruits would work as well.

Instead of boiling the oatmeal in water, use milk, 2% or low-fat milk are options, so is Almond milk if you prefer.

The other things I’ve used to enhance the taste of oatmeal while also being healthy options are using cinnamon and vanilla flavoring...

I’ve also used various types of nuts, pecans, almonds, etc.

I’ve also used oatmeal to make my own granola using healthy choices...

I’ve also made pancakes out of oatmeal, 3 ingredients, two overripe bananas mashed up, 2 eggs, 1.5 cups of oatmeal blended into a type of oatmeal flour, add in cinnamon or vanilla for extra flavoring, makes 4-5 pancakes which are very tasty and healthy.

Other than the bananas, everything you list sounds good. I buy 2% milk and occasionally almond milk, so I’ll try those. Do you chop nuts into tiny pieces and cook them with the oats?

Just made organic oatmeal, eating it now but it requires a serious BARF ALERT even with almond milk in it. Going to pour some maple syrup in it because I don’t have sugar in the house;
