     Actually, you CAN use old fashioned oats for this, just use exactly twice the water as you do oats. I use 2 cups oats and 4 cups water and apples and brown sugar.

     I eat this every AM. I use less water, no butter and add egg white for protein... 1/2 cup. It is super tasty and I feel very healthy eating it! It makes about 2 weeks of breakfasts and keeps well in the fridge, heats up in the micro for a quick eat. - 12/31/10

     Very satisfying breakfast. I mixed in a small container of blueberry-pomegranate applesauce and that really smooths out the oatmeal and gives it a great sweetness. - 5/1/11

     I use my rice cooker to make hot cereals like this. It cooks faster, and there's never a boil-over to make a mess on the stovetop. - 6/23/14

     Family loved it. I added two peeled and chopped apples, 2 TBL brown sugar and a little nutmeg. - 1/12/13

     I love my oatmeal. Even though high in carbs (for a diabetic) I calculated when I eat it first thing in the morning (breakfast) I burn the glucose down my mid-day. - 9/19/18

     Nice to make a batch and like the idea of adding flax. I vary the fruit added , maybe dried dates or apples, I just watch the amounts so don't over do the calories. I like it without fruit too as then can top it as you wish or even make a savory style with veggies, eggs etc. - 11/22/14

     We hate the crust and don't stir it back in. We don't spray ahead -- it didn't seem to help. Crust forming seemed to be a matter of how long. - 4/29/14

     "ANY LEFTOVERS"???? Will be eaten before the kids leave the table. Or they can be used to make Raisin-Flax Oatmeal Cookies. - 9/19/20

     I use a recipe similar to this and really enjoy my oatmeal. I haven't added flax seeds before but will certainly use them the next time. - 3/24/20
