MTpockets's Note:

Be sure to let this cool before serving. This is gobbled up by my 2 yr old. I'd recommend this for kids at least 18 months or older.

Well, this ol' kid needed a bit more to chew on, so I added 1/4 cup of plumped dark raisins, along with the 2 tablespoons of brown sugar! I also used chunky applesauce, & as we get closer to the winter holidays I wouldn't mind adding a cranberry-&-applesauce combo! Makes for A GREAT-TASTING BREAKFAST!
