Mmmm- if you HATE oatmeal, these recipes will change your mind!
I just found these, as I needed a more filling breakfast without all the awful processed sugars and bad carbs... I HATED oatmeal and I LOVE both of these varieties--- I usually had to add a TON of sugar, but the natural fruits in the oatmeal means less added processed sugar. ENJOY!
