Made this for myself & my husband who used to say he "hated oatmeal" & it was very good! He added 1 packet of splenda to it for a little extra sweetness, but I liked it just fine w/out. The toasted coconut & raisins added just the right amount of texture and flavor. I will be making this one again. - 4/9/14
