    I found this recipe in my sister's SP recipe book. It's 3/4 cup mix to 3/4 cup boiling water. Stir and let sit for 5 minutes. It's very good. I made some and had it for breakfast this a.m. - 10/19/11

    This sounds great - but there aren't any directions. How much oatmeal to water? How long do you cook?
    Thank you for updated information. - 12/9/08

    This is so much better and less expensive than packets of instant oatmeal, and so easy to prepare! Great source of fiber & healthy fats. Very satisfying...keeps me full for hours. - 7/6/10

    I think this is very good and exceptionally healthy recipe. For other ideas, please see my "Fried Apple, Raisen and Pecan Oatmeal"--I think has a few more calories but faster and very good! Both are!!! - 1/10/09

    I love this recipe. I prepare it in a gallon sized zip lock bag, and I am good for a couple weeks. A teaspoon of Splenda brown sugar gives it just the right sweetness. I fill the bowl 2/3, and then top with hot water, about half inch over the top. After a few mins, it absorbs to just right YUM, - 12/28/13

    1 part water to 1 part oatmeal is wrong. It's 2 parts liquid to 1 part oatmeal. I use 1/2 cup oatmeal and 1 cup 1% milk, cook in the microwave and it comes out great. - 3/15/13

    I LOVE this recipe! For my 2nd batch, I am using dried blueberries instead of the dried cranberries for a change of taste. I top mine with 1/2 c. vanilla yogurt....YUM! - 1/2/12

    Might be good to try but I prefer regular old fashioned oats. - 7/27/20

    Just made this this morning. Easy, and makes a lot. Had to dig out the coffee grinder for the flax, but once it was all in place, it was easy to package up. I put a tiny bit of stevia powder on it. 3/4 cup mix and 3/4 cup water were perfect for me. Makes a big bowl. - 6/6/19

    It was very good and we used raisins in place of the cranberries. - 2/18/15

    This is a great, easy, healthy breakfast! I use 1 cup of water and then put 1/2 cup cold milk on. Sometimes I add 1/2 of a banana. I do put 2 tsp of sugar or splenda on, but I am trying slowly to wean off of the sugar! - 10/21/13

    I have always been told you cannot heat up ground flaxseed...does that not apply in this dish? - 1/28/13
  • AMETHYSTSTAR
    Love this! Much more filling than store bought instant oatmeal! I love the nuts and (surprisingly) the cranberries, they add a touch of sweetness. I may play with some other dried fruit for the next batch I make, just for fun. Once again, Love it! - 1/27/13

    Terrific idea to have it premixed. Can't wait to try it.
    Thanks, SP_STEPF. - 1/23/13
  • KETTLEBURN
    i found that it was really lacking in sweetness and so had to add some extra cranberries, extra cinnamon, a bit of brown sugar...whatever i was in the mood for whenever i had some. it is, however, very filling. the serving size is too big for me so i have to half it! - 10/16/12

    Love this oatmeal! So much healthier than instant packets. I like mine a little soupier so I do 3/4 cup oats and 1 cup water. sometimes I use rice milk in place of the water. I always use 1 tbs of agave! Love it! - 9/12/12

    Ate first time this morning...Wow! Very good! are you sure this isn't going to make me gain weight? - 7/1/12

    I love knowing i have breakfast so fast. I did not find it sweet enough so added some sugar. - 5/28/12
  • FREESIA15
    Wow, this stuff is fantastic!! I added a little Ideal for some added sweetness, but that is the only change I made. :) - 4/13/12

    Use old fashion oats and not instant. - 2/12/12
  • LOOKING4SKINNY
    I added 2 packets of Splenda (per bowl) for a hint of sweetness to take the edge off of the oats when there weren't any cranberries in my bite. Excellent! - 1/20/12

    This is delicious and extremely satisfying. My appetite is satisfied all morning long. No need for a snack before lunch. The addition of flaxseed is great for my cholesterol as well. Thanks so much for this recipe! - 1/8/12
