I enjoy oats a couple of mornings a week and am always on the look out for new and different ways to prepare them. These have a tartness and the spices provide for a nicely flavored dish. The yogurt adds a nice creamy texture to the cooked oats without added fat. I doubled the recipe, used 1 apple and homemade yogurt. Next go around, I believe that I would try reducing the lemon juice and comparing the difference. Thanks for a nice healthy breakfast treat.
