Very delicious and creamy! Felt a bit decadent eating that much sugar for breakfast, but there is no denying how enjoyable it was. I did cut the butter in half (and used Earth Balance) to save on some calories. Also used a plain soy for the milk and topped with some ground almonds. Made the perfect amount for me. The only thing I wasn't clear on is whether it should be quick oats or regular oats. I used quick, which was fine, but I think it would work with regular too. 6 Minute hot breakfast that doesn't involve a microwave, you've gotta like that! Made for 'I Recommend Tag', thanks 2Bleu!

Oatmeal is one of my favorite breakfast foods. But, I was a little bit skeptical when I saw this recipe ~ thought there was way too much salt and sugar, but I made it that way anyway. Am I ever glad that I did. The salt and sugar balanced each other out and the butter added great flavor for a very creamy oatmeal. Will definitely make this again. Thanks for posting this recipe.
