When it is done I separate into 8 one cup containers to make my morning routine easier! (you could also put it in one big bowl if space is an issue.) When I am ready to eat I microwave for 2 minutes and sprinkle with a little brown sugar (this is not in the calorie count!) Enjoy

    I made this with Craisins versus raisins. I added a little more cinnamon and a splash a skim milk when I reheated it. I also added a 0.5 TBSP of ground flax seed to increase the fiber a little bit. I think next time I make this I'll add a bit of frozen juice concentrate to add a bit more flavor - 4/25/13

    This is a nice change from regular oatmeal. I also seperated it into 8 containers, it's so easy for those rushed mornings. - 9/23/12
