I used skim milk rather than the water, ground the oats after measuring, used whole wheat flour and olive oil. Very good smothered in apple sauce!

Man, I thought these were delicious! I followed the recipe exactly (no apples). I tried three toppings: Strawberry jam w/sprinkle of confectioner's sugar(best), smothered in apple sauce (yummy!), and maple-flavored syrup (not so hot).

Oh my goodness these are amazing!!! I hate the texture of oatmeal but I keep looking for ways to eat more of its healthy goodness. These are filling and delicious! I added a bit more water than it called for and let the batter soak for a few minutes before dropping the batter on the griddle. This softens the oats a bit before cooking and gives them a great texture.
