I love to make this ahead too and warm it up in the morning, topped with milk. I used cherry flavored cranberries and it was great.

My DH thought it was too sweet, but he doesn't like any thing sweet. The rest of us (me & the kids) thought it was good! Wish it didn't take so long to make though.

This was really good just as printed, but I "doctor" it up - add 1/2 c raisins, maybe a small, peeled apple - chopped, chopped walnuts for the top. And 2 eggs instead of egg whites. Egg whites are kind of a pain. Enjoy.

What a delicious change from ordinary oatmeal! I love it when it's "ordinary," but this recipe really makes it special.

This is my new favorite way to eat oatmeal! I can't wait to make it for my sister's kids.

This is such a great recipe! I make it quite often on Sunday night and put it in the fridge so my Husband and I have a warm, healthy, delicious breakfast at the tip of our fingers every morning before work.
