Bring to a boil, then simmer on very low for 25 more minutes.

I also had almonds instead of walnuts on hand. I added a little vanilla extract. And topped each serving with some honey to sweeten it up. Very tasty breakfast or snack source of protein. - 9/27/15

I added Stevia for sweetening and topped w/slivered almonds. I sprinkled on Pampered Chef Cinnamon Plus and added a little almond milk. I love another reviewers idea of adding some honey and will try that next time as well as some other variations such as adding chopped apples. Yum! - 2/4/15

A tasty and healthy breakfast! My adjustments: I used 2Tbsp dark brown sugar instead of Splenda. I also used allspice instead of nutmeg. I'll be making this often! - 11/28/13

To add extra antioxidents and to change it up a bit, add 1/2 cup of fresh blueberries. Very yummy warm breakfast item. Havent tried it with apples but bet it would be great with them as well - 1/19/12

I added a chopped apple and left out the splenda. I had slivered almonds on hand so used those in place of walnuts. I top each serving with raw honey. Deeeeee-licious!!! - 11/15/11
