    Actually, you CAN use old fashioned oats for this, just use exactly twice the water as you do oats. I use 2 cups oats and 4 cups water and apples and brown sugar.

    I eat this every AM. I use less water, no butter and add egg white for protein... 1/2 cup. It is super tasty and I feel very healthy eating it! It makes about 2 weeks of breakfasts and keeps well in the fridge, heats up in the micro for a quick eat. - 12/31/10

    Very satisfying breakfast. I mixed in a small container of blueberry-pomegranate applesauce and that really smooths out the oatmeal and gives it a great sweetness. - 5/1/11

    I use my rice cooker to make hot cereals like this. It cooks faster, and there's never a boil-over to make a mess on the stovetop. - 6/23/14

    Family loved it. I added two peeled and chopped apples, 2 TBL brown sugar and a little nutmeg. - 1/12/13
