What a pleasure to wake up and breakfast is ready! For us the oatmeal was on the watery side so we changed the setting to "high" and took a 10 minute walk, and it thickened up well - perfect! I'll try adding less water and see if that works too. It's fun how the dried cherries puff up like balloons, back to cherry size! This serves three people unless you're huge eaters. Great flavor with no additional milk or maple syrup necessary!
