Great alternative to McDonald's oatmeal! Next time I may add dried cranberries!

we loved this but did add a little more brown sugar to make a little sweeter.

I have been looking for an oatmeal recipe that I didn't have to stand at the stove stirring for a long time. This one is easy, fast and delicious. I didn't have apples so I substituted bananas. The bananas added sweetness, so I think I will reduce or eliminate the sugar next time. Definitely a keeper

My brother showed me a variation of this recipe that we all really like. He buys blueberries when they are in season and freezes enough to last him through the winter. He adds blueberries and chopped walnuts to the oatmeal. Blueberries have the highest concentration of vitamin C than any other fruit including oranges. Having fresh blueberries in the middle of winter is a real boost.

I don't like gooey oatmel and so I do not use Quick cooking oats. I use Old Fashioned Oats. Another thing Is I add the Oatmeal at the end and cover and allow it to just absorb the liquid before eating it. I started this recipe by replacing half of the water with non-fat milk. I chopped the apples down to about 1/4 inch size. In the milk/water mixture I added the apples, and salt and cooked on low heat till the apples had softened to desired tnederness which was less than 5 mins. I removed from heat, added the Brn Sugar which I replaced with Splenda Light Brn Sugar, Grnd Cinnamon, Vanilla Extract, and sliced almonds. Stirred to cmbine and then added the Oats, stirred once to cover with liquid and then put the cover on and allowed the micxture to stand for between 5 and 10 mins to absorb the liquid. After I put it in the bowl I added a few Tbsps of warm non-fat milk and enjoyed it. I've since made it with Dried Craisin's, (Dried Cranberries), chopped dried Apricots and with Orange wedges cut up, 1/2 cup of fresh squeezed orange juice and a tbsp of grated orange peel for varioation all turned out great.I don't care for blueberies but they are probably good also. It was also very good topped with fresh strawberries cut up. I also added 1 heaping Tbsp of Ground Flaxseed to the dry ingredients for the nutty flavor and the Omega-3 from the Ground seed. If they are not ground you don't get any benefit. I ground them in a coffee grinder, and store in the refrigerator in a sealed baggie.

I have been looking for an oatmeal recipe that I liked and this is it. I loved the flavors and the crunch of the apple and nuts. Will definately make this again and see what fruits/nuts will taste just as good. Love it!

Nice flavor combination. The apples were a little more crunchy than I like, but other than that, it was a good, easy breakfast.
