This makes a lot of oatmeal. Next time I will not use 1/4 cup of skim milk (it made it runny). And will just add enough milk to my liking. You can add maple syrup or whatever flavor you are after that day.

This was pretty good. I didn't have flaxseed oil, I used a tablespoon of ground flax seed and just added an extra tbsp. of liquid. I used organic apple cider instead of plain water, I stirred in a half teaspoon of homemade apple pie spice and I stirred in 1 tbsp. organic honey before eating. I don't drink soy milk so I used nonfat milk. This was quite a filling breakfast. The great thing about oatmeal for breakfast is it can be different every time so play around and use whichever liquid/stir in's that sound best for you!

Great recipe - I added some cinnamon, nutmeg, and a dash of vanilla extract. Instead of topping it with soy milk, I topped it with a huge spoonful of fat free honey flavored organic greek yogurt. This was very filling and very healthy.

Strangely addictive. I did not think I would like it that much and perhaps have to force myself to eat it at least once a week. WRONG. I eat this stuff nearly everyday and sometimes twice a day - especially before a long workout. Something about the thick warm oatmeal with all those other good things is just comforting... strange I know. All in all, good stuff and a new staple in my diet. Thanks

Good oatmeal that you can add/subtract ingredients to your liking. Quick, healthy breakfast.

After 5 years of making fun of my husband for making and eating oatmeal EVERY day on the week, I have been enlightened! This is amazing! I can hardly believe that something so good for you can be this filling and taste so good. I followed the directions as written, added half a teaspoon of splenda brown sugar (Only 10 calories) and some organic raisins. I also use vanilla soy milk. The result is a decadent, almost desert like breakfast that keep me going all morning. I use ground flex instead of the oil, but I find the wheat germ and flax has done wonders for my energy. This is a great recipe and I am SO grateful to have found it. I am on the oatmeal bandwagon now!

Delicious, healthy and very easy to make it! I didn't have flax oil, so I used 1/2 Tbsp of flax seed instead. I also used splenda instead of honey.

I made this recipe this morning for my 2 pre-schoolers. I was looking for a substitute for the pre-packaged oatmeal. I used vanilla soy milk and added some animal shaped cake candies so that my girls would still think it was their "dinosaur oatmeal". We all loved it and I feel better about removing one more proccesed food from our house. Thanks for the great and fast recipe.
