Perfect little single serving oatmeal recipe. It's a great breakfast to make during the week when you're short on time! -
Love this. I premix the dry ingridents together so I can grab it quickly if heading to work then put the wets in a bowl and mix when ready to eat. Thanks its delicious! -
Easy to throw together for busy mornings. Tasted ok, but I had to add Splenda to sweeten it. I think brown sugar would add to the flavor and would try that next time. It took microwaving several minutes to get the thick texture I like. Has potential, but I need to play around with it to get it right for me.

I love oatmeal and couldn't really taste anything but the applesauce. I tried doubling the amount of oatmeal and it was ok but I think i will stick with my old standby.... oatmeal 2 tsps brown sugar ;)

This wasn't bad but I am not a huge fan of cranberries. Next time I think I will use less cranberries. I didn't have to add any additional sugar, I found the sweetness level prefect, maybe from the cranberries and applesauce.

I love oatmeal for breakfast and this recipe will now be added to my breakfast repertoire. I didn't measure the cinnamon, just sprinkled it on so I probably used more than 1/8 tsp. I also used skim milk instead of water. Thanks for posting. -
Enjoyed this for a filling breakfast. Great combination of flavors. I used soy milk instead of water. Made for ZWT 4 -
I made this for brekky as directed. This looked like quite a big serving but is not really when only using 3 tblsp oatmeal. I used milk in place of water for a creamier consistency & thought the apples & cranberries went really well together. I did think that it was more like an apple pudding than oatmeal though & I'd prefer more substance. I will make this again but would cut down on the apple sauce & increase the oatmeal portion for my personal tastes.
