With a little bit of honey, chia seeds, and vanilla extract. But cold and made overnight in the refrigerator. Then with some fresh fruit thrown on top before eating.

Eple syltetøy (like applesauce with bits in, not as sweet), Hapå (a Norwegian spread that is kind of butterscotch-y? Hard to describe.), honey, and walnuts. Salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
Add frozen blueberries while it's cooking
Same, sometimes woth honey (after cooking!) or sliced banana for sweetness
Sometimes I'll cook frozen berries down with equal parts sugar, make a sweet berry sauce and use that with skyr and/or oatmeal. Berry sauce is cool to have in the fridge on hand
Cheong (Korean fruit syrup) would be great for this.
That sounds great
I like to add basically a chai spice mix. I'm a snob when it comes to chai, so I'll mortar/pestle up spices to use for chai, and I'll often do enough at once for multiple batches (even though it's best completely fresh). It goes really well in oats. If you want the lazier version, "pumpkin spice" mix in the US is basically a chai spice mix.
For savory oats, I treat it like congee. There's a lot of ways to make it, but you can either take it in a western direction (chicken stock, bacon, fried eggs, etc) or more Asian (dashi/miso stock, soy sauce, sesame, ramen egg, etc.).
I've got some chai masala I could throw in there!
I don't. I just let it go out into the hard cruel world and figure shit out for itself.
I've switched from microwave to stovetop and find that I enjoy the texture much more when prepared via stovetop.
I do too. I do this when I have time. Def better. Creamier.
I'm big on fruits and dairy. Berries and butter, cream and tree fruits, cheese and apples, even sour cream with roasted apples (seriously, it's better than it sounds).
Sometimes I'll go savory, do some cheese cubes and sauage, maybe crumble in bacon and pepper it up with some butter too. Oooh! Goat cheese, dates, and bacon!
But warming spices tend to be a great base for additions across the board. Cinnamon, some allspice, nutmeg, maybe mace and cloves, cumin even. Whatever mix I'm in the mood for. You can go sweet on top of that, maybe brown sugar or maple. Add fruits. Or just go with just the spices plus salt.
Mind you, that's quick oats microwaved or stovetop. Instant oats like in packets, I tend to just add a little milk or a juice and leave it at that.
Which, btw, a little fruit juice brings sweetness and taste to any oatmeal. You can even cook oats in it just fine.
Butter + stevia + dried cranberries or currants + Pie Spice:

It's also really good making the Trader Joe's 10 minute farro this way:
