I really enjoyed this for breakfast. I made a small change in that I used dried cranberries in place of the raisins. Perfect combination of flavors and a nice texture to the oats. Thanks Pat for a great recipe! Made for your win during the Healthy Choices holiday tag special. -
What a great way to start the day! I used regular sugar instead of splenda and 2% milk and it was delicious! Made for Zaar 1-2-3 Hits Tag Game 2012. -
I did make several changes to the recipe, but nothing substantial, I thought! First of all it makes enough for one of us, so I doubled it for two! I also increased the raisins (1/2 cup for 2 of us) & left out the sugar since we like a bit of brown sugar on the top! And the recipe does make for a very nicely satisfying breakfast! Thanks for sharing it! [Made & reviewed in Make My Recipe tag] -
This was a nice warm breakfast today! I made exactly as directed with a little sprinkling of brown sugar on top. Perfect for a chilly Fall day! Thanks Pat! -
I often have oatmeal for breakfast with fresh blueberries and thought for sure that I would love a raisin version. It was ok, but it did not take me over the top like I thought it would. I found the raisins a bit overpowering. I liked the texture. Made for Went to the Market.

I enjoyed this as an evening snack, it tasted like a oatmeal cookie! Instead of the sugar I used maple syrup and add a few more raisins. Thanks for the recipe! -

This is pretty much my standard brekkie. I used fewer raisins to trim the sugars a bit and old fashioned oats in place of instant and Splenda. The old fashioned oats take a bit longer but it so worth it. This combo is always delicious and you can't go wrong with it.

With the demise of the forums and with no more interaction on site with what was a great community and it was a pleasure to get to know so many of you over the years and to have had the privilege of meeting some of you in person. For me now this is just another recipe site like to many on the net, it has lost its specialness, such a pity especially when Scripps changed the name from Recipezaar to Food.com and made this statement sorry cannot replicate here as considered invalid but they basically said yes the community was valuable hence .com was short for community but it was a pack of lies as they were not willing to put the money into that community and got rid of the forums which was the community so for .com has become .crap.
