"Oatmeal is a healthy, warm and delicious breakfast and this is my favorite way to prepare it!UPDATE. I have recently started adding banana and almonds to my oatmeal instead of raisins. It is absolutely delicious. I replace the applejuice with water in that case."

Great oatmeal. I really enjoyed all of the flavors. I'll be putting this into my oatmeal for breakfast rotation. Thanks! -
I ran our of my Instant and found this recipe. So easy to make. I thought this came out better than what I thought this would. So glad I chose to try this recipe. Will be making again. -
This was not only creative, but yummy! I used Splenda brown sugar & will prob add a little Splenda next time for a little more sweetness! I left out the water, which gave me the perfect thickness. I added some chopped banana & microwaved for about 1 min (I only made half the recipe). Great flavor! -
Delicious way to prepare oatmeal. I left out raisins but added some sliced almonds. I am going to try it with cranberry juice next time! -
This was a delicious bowl of oatmeal, 2ReDsOx 2. I loved the intense cinnamon flavor with the apple juice (I recommend starting with half the amount of cinn., then adding more as desired). The oatmeal came out to a nice texture with the liquids, too. Thanks for posting. Roxygirl
