Porridge Hot

I loved this, I did a half batch but just eyeballed the amount of maple & molasses & I used Splenda instead of sugar. I'm not a ginger lover so almost cut the ginger amount but decided against it with the addition of cinnamon & nutmeg and I'm glad I did. The spice mix is lovely, the texture is great & this proved a lovely warming brekky that did me for 2 mornings. Thanks Syd!

I loved this recipe. I did omit the raisins, nuts and molasses because I prefer just the oatmeal. This is a great filling breakfast. Thanks for a great recipe Sydney Mike.

Thank you for posting. I made the recipe in my slow cooker over night and had it for breakfast. I found the amount of sweeteners way too much and I added only 1 Tbsp. molasses. It was nice to try, however I am not going to make it again as I found it heavy and not the way I like oatmeal.

I love the idea of baked oatmeal, but found the molasses flavor overwhelmed the recipe. I couldn't taste anything but the molasses, even though I reduced it to 2 tbsp based on another reviewers comments. Next time I would leave it out entirely so that I could taste the maple & spices, and it would reduce the calories by quite a bit. I did substitute dried sweetened cranberries for the raisins & left out the walnuts due to personal taste. I think that this could be great without the molasses. EDIT: The molasses flavor was a lot milder the next day, so I increased my rating to a 4 star. I'll still try it without the molasses next time though.UPDATE: I made this again without any molasses, nuts or raisins, and liked it much better. Wonderful maple flavor. This version is a keeper for me.

This is a little more time consuming than regular oatmeal, but worth the extra time! Very tasty and comforting. I used sugar-free "maple" syrup (and a little maple flavoring), left out the brown sugar but used the molasses. This put it in the diabetic range. I used dried cherries instead of raisins, but "craisins" would be good too! The walnuts added a nice texture. This is a keeper.

I made this in a diabetic version, omitting the syrup, molasses and brown sugar and replacing then with some Splenda. As I made a single serving that wanted 1/3 of an egg I just skipped that as well. I did use all of the spice (I tripled the cinnamon) and the nuts. For the creamer I used non fat milk with a couple of drops of pure vanilla extract. Yumm

This was easy and a nice change from regular oatmeal. I didn't have any raisins, so I used mixed dried fruit; otherwise, I made it as written. I loved the crunchiness of the nuts. My husband thought it was too sweet (it was fine for my tastes) and he and my son thought the molasses came through a bit too strongly, so next time, I may cut back on the molasses to just 1 or 2 tablespoons. Thanks for posting!
