    I make a similar recipe with steel cut oats (1 1/2 cups), NO evaporated milk, 1/4 cup sliced almonds, and 5 cups of water for 8 hours; love it. - 3/28/12

    My favorite breakfast is oatmeal! Sometimes, I don't have time to make it though. This recipe makes it possible to have it every morning! I put it in six microwaveable dishes with lids, and refrigerate. Then pack one to go if breakfast is going to be a little later, and not at home! - 5/16/12

    Terrific recipe, and versatile--can easily reduce it or increase it, depending on how many you need to serve, add or change ingredients, and slow cook it or not! I used steel-cut oats, added water and a half cup of Greek yogurt in place of evapo milk and natural unsweetened applesauce for one apple. - 5/9/12

    I have a similar recipe but doesn't use milk. For the liquid I use Apple juice, instead of water. I also add walnuts, raisins, and nutmeg. Every batch tastes just a bit different as I love to experiment. - 3/29/12

    Just a comment for those who don't know this already: but the oats that take 3 minutes in the microwave/stove top are QUICK oats. 'Real' oats take much longer and is what should be used here. Also, subbing apple juice for the milk is a very high calorie sub. add a star anise or cloves for a change. - 11/23/12
