I tried this recipe for the first time yesterday and liked it so much I had it again for breakfast this morning. This breakfast is suprisingly filling. A big plus to this recipe is that it is quick to make and it's easy to clean up afterward. It's healthy too.

Finally, a good way to take your flaxseed oil!

I modified this recipe and made it low-calorie and filling. I cook the oatmeal as directed, omit the honey and use one packet of artificial sweetener, omit the oil (because I don't have any) and add a nice dash of cinnamon. Sometimes I will add a few slivered almonds, raisins, chopped apples, etc... the possibilities for this recipe are endless! I eat it all the time!

Excellent easy fast breakfast. Tasty way to get beneficial flaxseed oil. I added 1 Tablespoon of dried fruit bits and used vanilla soy milk. This recipe is good AND good for you too!

This oatmeal really is super good! I eat it every morning and it keeps me full from 5:30 in the morning until noon! But I normally omit the soymilk.

Quick and easy, great on cold mornings! I throw in apple chunks before I microwave it.

I actually find this too filling, so use 1/3 cup oatmeal and 3/4 cup water. As others suggested, I substituted ground flax seed for the oil. I also left out the honey. I didn't have soy milk, so added some cottage cheese and about 1/4 cup berries. I have had this for 5 days in a row and think I could and will eat it every day for breakfast. EDIT: I first reviewed this 10 months ago and I am still eatin it at least 4-5X a week. It is healthy and fills me up so I'm never snack through the mornings. UPDATE: It's been 2 years and I still eat this at least 4-5X a week, with a big spoon of cinnamon mixed in.

I can never eat plain oatmeal again! My husband loves this recipe as is. I usually omit the honey and add a shake of cinnamon and sometimes some raisins. Love it!

This was delicious! I also suggest adding a tablespoon or two of flaxseeds. It gives it a nutty crunch, plus Omega 3 fatty acids.

Great recipe. Very easy to make this one your own. I added a few sprinkles of cinnamon and nutmeg, 1/2 tsp of brown sugar, and about 15 raisins. Hmmm, Hmmm good!
