I too used 1/4 cup sugar. Husband thought it was OK, but a little too gummy. 14-month-old seemed to like it. 3-year-old was not deceived into thinking it was instant oatmeal. I thought it had pretty good flavor but not very visually appealing. Probably won't make it again, especially since it's so high in calories.

We did not care for this. We couldn't even finish eating it. I used less sugar and still it was way too sweet. Don't waste your time or ingredients--there are too many good recipes out there.

Quite sweet. Next time I won't use as much sugar. Taste it before adding the sugar--you probably won't need it all.

This is very good oatmeal! I reduced the sugar to a quarter cup; it had just the right amount of sweetness. Yum, definitely a recipe I'll make again!

Made this for breakfast today and it was GREAT!! I am a huge fan of oatmeal and this is now the recipe I will use. I used only 1/4 cup of brown sugar and it was "just right". I added raisins during the cooking in order to soften them, rather than adding them after cooking. To cut calories, use brown sugar Splenda and egg substitute and low fat milk. This is a very versatile recipe, so on future oatmeal mornings, I'm going to try adding 1/4 cup chopped apples and a 2 Tbsps of pecans and a tsp of cinnamon, or put sliced bananas on the oatmeal after cooking. Try this recipe and you will NEVER eat instant oatmeal again (ugh). Make this the night before, put it in the fridge and heat it up in the microwave the the morning. Thanks for a great recipe!!

I just made this for breakfast on our first snowy sunday morning with some fresh squeezed orange juice, fresh fruit, whole grain toast and it was absolutely wonderful. I did reduce the sugar to just under 1/4 c., used skim milk and added walnuts after it was cooked. Husband wanted fat laden breakfast so didn't want me to make this and believe it or not, he raved. It was wonderful, fast and really easy and I highly recommend it. I will make this often and even for company. I hope you enjoy it as much as we did and... LET IT SNOW!!

Way-way-way too sweet. Also if you are looking for a healthy meal this is not it. perhaps this can be adjusted to make it better.

This is the best oatmeal I have ever made. Used the quick cooking oats, skim milk and egg substitute and it was delicious. My husband and two children ask for it often.

This recipe is excellent exactly as is. My family loves it and has been known to eat it right out of the pot! It's so easy to experiment with. We like to add sliced apples and bananas occasionally and we have successfully tried it with half a teaspoon of Nutella mixed into our bowls after serving. Very good recipe overall. Thank you!

This was great. I used 1/4 cup Splenda brown sugar, and I'll probably cut that in half next time I make this. It was a little sweet for my tastes.

I never had homemade oatmeal before (I always stuck with instant), but this was pretty good. I'm on a diet, so I made it with SugarTwin brown sugar, 1% milk and light margarine and it turned out well. I reduced the sugar like everyone suggested, and I meant to only put in 1/4 cup, but I only had a little sugar left in the box so I dumped it in (and it turned out a bit too sweet). I will definitely make this again.
