The concept of this recipe, in my opinion, deserves 3 stars. You do have to change the flax seeds to be sure you used ground flax seeds. And, that is too much honey, way too sweet. But, I used ground flax seed, less honey, and I used old fashion oats and just put the honey, banana, flax seed and walnuts on at the end. I eat this at least once a week, thanks for inspiring a healthy breakfast I can add to my rotation!

This recipe would have been very good but there was WAY to much honey in it. It was so sweet I couldnt stand to eat it all. Next time i will put only 1 tablespoon of honey, then it will be very delicous! But thanks for a great oatmeal recipe.

This oatmeal has good flavor, but I think adding cinnamon and nutmeg would make it five stars. I used honey but since other reviewers said it was a bit too sweet with 3 tbsp, I added it a tbsp at a time until it was just sweet enough for me (ended up being just under 2 tbsp). I like the idea of using maple syrup, I'll be trying that next time. This is a nice, filling breakfast on those cold mornings. Thanks for sharing!

I cut way back on the honey, maybe added a couple teaspoons and that was plenty. Overall, pretty good.

I reduced the honey to one tablespoon and it was still WAY too sweet. Won't make this again.

I dislike bananas, but I eat them because they're cheap and healthy, but I more than tolerated this - I enjoyed it! Based on other reviews, I cut the sweetener (I used pure maple syrup) way down - to 1 Tbsp - and my husband still thought it too sweet so I'll try 1/2 Tbsp next time.

This is Rebeccas recipe but she puts cinnamon in before cooking. Also she wouldn't put as much honey in as this recipe. Maybe half this amount. After cooking she adds sliced banana, handful of craisins & more milk if needed.
