I can't stand oatmeal but I think it would be good for me to eat on this SB diet. Does anyone have a good recipe for it? My mother said to put butter and bacon bits in it and I tried that...I could eat it if I HAD to but it wasn't pleasant!

I thought bananas, raisins and honey were off-limits for SB.

To make me oatmeal I just add the skim milk, add a packet of Splenda , butter and a lil cinn put it in the micro and thats good to me.

I like to add 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla, cinnamon and sweetner to my oatmeal... I have also added applesauce to it... Sometimes I use the fat free flavored liquid coffeemate as a flavor booster... I hope that this helps... For added health benefits some sliverd or sliced almonds are great too!

My favorite kind of Oatmeal is either Irish Oatmeal or Scottish porridge, they are *chewier*

Have a really tasty oat and bran cereal recipe:

1 cup rolled oats (quick or old-fashioned), uncooked
1/2 cup bran cereal, uncooked
3 tablespoons toasted almonds
4 cups unsweetened applesauce or 1 1/2 c. apple juice/cider
3/4 cup chopped dried prunes and apricots
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

Combine all ingredients, cover and refrigerate overnight.
Serve cold or heated, topped with skimmed milk.

I like the McCann's Oatmeal better than the run of the mill brands. I make it with half water, half milk. Normally I add some milk, brown sugar, fresh blueberries and fresh strawberries. In the absence of brown sugar, substitute Equal.
