  I make this recipe with raw oats (Jungle Oats here in SA). I also use the fruit, nuts and grated apple but then instead of milk, I use 1 cup of apple juice. I make it in the morning when I wake, cover and leave. By the time I get to work the oats have absorbed the apple juice. I then enjoy. Try it! - 8/3/10

  This has an odd texture when it is cold. It is much better room temp. or warm. I added cinnamon plus and wheat germ. It is very filling and yummy warm. - 5/20/08

  Great base recipe for cold oatmeal. I like to use half milk/half 0% greek yogurt for creamier, dreamier oatmeal. Also add flax seed for protien kick. - 6/1/10

  This is a great base recipe. I also add a tsp each of ground flax, wheat germ, wheat bran and oat bran along with cinnamon and slivered almonds. To avoid extra calories, I only use a T of the dried fruit options or fresh fruit in season. I liked the idea of using soy milk. - 8/3/10

  I have been making variations of this recipe for warm weather breakfasts. I change it up by using soymilk or almond milk for the liquid, adding chia, sunflower or pumpkin seeds, mixing oat bran or flax to oatmeal, etc! If you don't like it cold or at RT, by all means nuke it. Mange :) - 8/3/10

  I used dried cherries and slivered almonds, followed the advice to add cinnamon and a little honey and loved it. Fast easy, no reason to skip breakfast in the morning! - 1/21/10

  I have the same question as JEVETT. Is this to be eaten uncooked? I cook Quaker Oats on the stovetop because it always overflows when it is microwaved, and add a tablespoon of chunky peanut butter. Yummy and good for you. I'll try this recipe and if it tastes "raw", will cook it. - 5/15/09

  this was great! I made a single serving for myself, and made it a little bigger than the size you suggested so I could eat it for lunch. I replaced the dates with extra raisins (didn't have any dates), omitted the almonds, and added 1 packet of sugar in the raw. so good! - 10/16/07

  A tasty variation that offers Moroccan-flavored inspiration: add a few drops of orange flower water, ground cardamom, and unsalted pistachios or walnuts instead of almonds and chopped dried figs instead of raisins. - 8/5/10

  Sounds great.. I'm definitely going to make this and add cinnamon. I can't take statins for cholesterol so oatmeal and oatbran are my mainstays. - 8/3/10

  I do something similar w/oatmeal or meusli and diced banana or other fruit using yogurt (plain or flavored)and let it sit in fridge overnight...depending on the fruit, I may add some honey or sugar free pancake syrup in the morning. - 8/3/10

  THis is a great , low fat version of Bircher muesli. I don't like oats made on full milk, so I use skim milk and water in a 1:1 ratio. I also love cinammon and add that. Chai is also good instead of milk - 8/3/10

  I have "doctored oats" for breakfast frequently. I will try this one. I do not have a microwave any more, so I am glad to see that this can be room temp. Looks good for a fast & easy breakfast on the go that will keep me full for hours. - 5/12/09

  This is like the Swiss Muesli that I grew up with. I soak the oatmeal as described, but use 1/2 lot-fat yogurt (Greek or otherwise) and 1/2 milk. I add the fruit and toasted walnuts or pecans just before serving. - 3/22/13

  By looking at ingredient list, I'm doubtful this calorie count is correct. Especially as a couple more cups of milk are required to eat it. - 3/24/12

  I used steel cut oats which were quite al dente :) My husband loved the suggested Moroccan-flavored add-ins. He said it was like healthy kheer (which is Indian). :) - 7/22/11

  I made this without the nuts and substituted greek yogurt for half of the milk. I had to warm it in the microwave because I didn't like it cold. It was yummy. I loved that it was so easy to make ahead of time and ready in the morning. - 8/11/10

  Not bad but the jury is still out. Can I assume the 1/4 slivered almonds mean 1/4c? I will definitely try it again. The serving size seems small and ate more than recommended. When I tried to calculate the calories etc. I came up with a very different set of numbers. stripes 31 - 8/7/10

  I found a similar recipe on a web site where a young woman has blogged about her life with oatmeal. I now make cold oats with oats, yogurt, cinnamon and honey - then add a dash of milk the next day to thin it out - it is awesome! - 8/6/10

  I have been making a similar recipe for a few years now. I use 1 c oatmeal, 1/2 c milk, cinnamon and honey to taste. Leave in frig overnight. The next morning, I stir in dried cranberries and either walnuts or pecans. Love it! - 8/5/10

  Made the Overnight Oats last night and just had some for lunch and I'd give them 4.5 out of 5 stars. I did heat them up and they were very tasty! My only reservation was that they're still a bit starchy. But they're VERY healthy and versatile, to say nothing about convenient! - 8/4/10

  A great recipe but.....date sugar causes your glycemic levels to skyrocket. I would look to a better sweetner--perhaps Stevia which has shown to have an ability to lower your glucose levels in some studies. - 8/3/10

  Wow I LOVE this recipe!!!!!!
  I love oatmeal but when it is so hot out it just does not appeal to me. I tried the apple juice instead of the milk and used almonds and wheat germ.
  It did not get to sit and soak up the juice, I was hooked from the first bite. - 8/3/10
