  AWESOME! I used Vanilla soy milk and exchanged the raisins for 1/6 c. Craisins and added 1 tsp. of sliced almonds. The almonds add 40 calories but going by the labels it actually only totaled 323 calories. - 11/27/08

  I do something similar but use steel cut oats, unsweetened vanilla soy milk and leave overnight. I either nuke for about 30 seconds or eat cold, I also add semi-frozen mixed berries. Its pretty yummy. - 6/12/09

  I use Old-Fashioned oats and find that it takes no time to soften them. I made it overnight once and it was mush. Now I make it in the morning and it works out really well. Sometimes I add a bit of honey, most times I also add walnuts or pecans. Thanks for posting and sharing this easy meal! - 8/3/09

  I have been eating this every morning now, its great! Especially with cut up banana. The calorie content is actually much lower - if you compare the SP nutrition information for oats to that listed on the Quaker Oats container, SP thinks oats have twice the calories that they actually do! - 4/19/08

  This is similar to my regular breakfast - sometimes cold, sometimes warm. I "spike" with protein powder, flaxseed meal and whatever dried fruit strikes my fancy. Haven't gotten bored with it after MONTHS!! - 4/19/08

  Like others, I was a little skeptical -- but made this last night with lowfat yogurt, 1/2 C. frozen mixed berries, and 1/2 C. Old Fashioned Oats. I enjoyed it LOTS this morning -- will probably do it often! May be a good one to try with grandkids, who are coming later this week, too! - 8/3/09

  I was skeptical of a cold versionof oatmeal, but I've always poured cold milk over the top of hot oatmeal anyway. I really liked this recipe. It's easy and you can customize it to your liking. I used skim milk, skipped the raisins and added 1 tblsp of brown sugar. - 8/4/08

  I was a little sceptical about no-cook oatmeal, but this was really fantastic. I made it with plain soy milk and Old Fashioned Quaker Oats and it worked wonderfully. Perfect for summer when you want to have your daily oatmeal but do not want a hot breakfast. It was very refreshing. - 4/22/08

  Love this idea! Pared it down to just the oats & milk with the 1 T. of br sugar that I usually add to regular oats made w/ H2O.Will use less sugar next time.Also added 2 T. bran buds for more fiber (25 cal/ 4 Gm fib).Can still stir in fruit or have it on the side.Saves time in AM too.

  I added a tbsp of Splenda in the mix, as well. The flavor was really good, but I'm not yet sure how I feel about the texture. It was sort of gritty--this may be solved by using old-fashioned oats as opposed to the quick cooking kind. - 4/24/08

  I did something else. I put the oats and frozen berries in a bowl overnight (fridge or counter). By morning, the berries left a lovely juice in the bowl (which was my milk subsitute). I added a little stevia and some chopped nuts, and voila! My version of Mueslix. Hemp milk is also nice. - 3/8/11

  This is one of my faves! I grate an apple and grind up 1 T flaxseed for additional fiber. With the apple and cinnamon it reminds me of the taste of rice pudding. I use dried blueberries (fresh are great also) and raisins.

  I was very ready to love this, especially since someone had mentioned they use the steel cut oats. I probably should not have tried it with the Irish oats. It really got stuck, even after only one small bite. I might try it with the regular oatmeal. Can't count off for my lapband! Thanks though - 9/15/09
