YUM ! I made this for my post-workout breakfast this morning, and it was perfect. Popped it on the stove while I took my shower, and it was ready when I got out! Great flavors melded all together, I added a bit more pecans just because they're my favorite nut. Thanks for posting, I will be having this a couple times a week for breakfast. May even make some for the DH, as he is an every-morning oatmeal eater :) Thanks for posting GW ~ made for ZWT6 ~ GREAT BRITAIN Region and the Queens of Quisine!
