Oatmeal trick #2
 

Hi all,

I was thinking about the sad little dried up apples in prepackaged oatmeal, and had a brain wave. I chopped an apple fine and simmered it in the water first, with half an ounce of chopped raisins & some cinnamon. when the apples were soft but far from mushy I added the oatmeal. I don't use sugar or sweetener, the fruit is enough. And it bulks up your bowl of oatmeal about double, largely with more liquid, which is always good.

cheerio,
Sue

hi sue the fresh fruit is better for than the drird ones.

I like to throw frozen blueberries in mine. :)

I do this too for a quick breakfast! I put 1 cup water, 1 tsp cinnamon, 1 small chopped apple and some brown sugar twin or sugar free maple syrup. Yum!

yum-o!

I add one of those individual applesauces they sell for kids to take to school in their lunch to my oatmeal.

Forgot to add :
Sugarfree applesause is what I add.
