This is excellent! I omitted the raisins because we don't have any right now, and I didn't really feel like anything was missing. Also, I just kind of eyeballed the amount of honey (I probably used close to 1 Tbsp). What a great breakfast! I love the texture and taste the grape nuts give to the oatmeal. I will definitely be making this again. Thanks for posting it!

This is a very hearty and filling way to carb load before a hard workout or strenuous day. Due to personal preference, I may use skim milk instead of all or part of the water in the recipe just to give the oatmeal more flavor. I also like my oatmeal to have more texture and will reduce the amount of liquid slightly. I love raisins, but any dried fruits would be a lovely stir-in for this breakfast.
