    Rather bland. Did alter the recipe some. Don't know that I would make this again. - 6/3/11

    This was an interesting idea. It toasted well in the crock pot. As is, I thought the recipe was a bit bland, but it is a great starting point! Will do again with variations. - 5/2/10

    I definitely want to try this. Two questions: when you say "Oatmeal," I assume you are talking about regular uncooked oats, but are they steel cut, quick, instant, rolled, etc? Two, do you think there is anything that could be substituted for the molasses?
    Thanks, can't wait to try it! - 4/15/10
