    Perhaps I missed it. What do you do with the ground flaxseed. I always add mine after cooking my oatmeal - but it is not specified here. - 3/16/12

    this sounded like a good recipe, it smelled good in the morning, but it didnīt taste that great, the pears were overcooked and it got all burnt in the bottom and sides of the slow cooker crock, a mess....i prefer my 5 min- oatmeal-apple-raisins-peanutbutter-wheat germ-cinnamon breakfast hot bowl. - 3/2/11
