Delicious! I enjoyed this oatmeal for an after work snack. I added cashews and macadamias and left out bananas and grapes--just to add more protein. Thank you, Sarah, for sharing this recipe.

I put pears instead of apples and I didn't use bananas because we didn't have any but it still tasted superb! Very sweet!
