I had really high hopes for this recipe as I love oatmeal for breakfast. I followed the recipe exactly except for omitting raisins as I don't like them. I couldn't get past the consistency of this, even when cooked as crispy as I could get it - it was too jelly-like. If I don't like a recipe I try to think of ways to make it more to my liking but don't know what to do with this. Thank you for posting though.

This was kind of like baked oatmeal. Came together very quickly & so easy, too!

What an excellent recipe. Simple and easy to make. I made this up last night and put it in the fridge. This morning I sliced it up and cooked it up. My 8 year old loved it as did I. I used Splenda brown sugar and didn't add the raisins (as we don't care for them). This does make a lot and I cut the remainder up and froze it for future breakfasts.

What a neat little treat these are!!! Very easy to prepare. It makes a lot to boot. My freezer has the leftovers for now but not for long!! I fried up a couple slice, cut them in half and topped each half with a poached egg. With a veggie and a salad it made a terrific meal. Thanks Charlotte J
