Very good! I took a risk on this one; while I've used All-Bran cereal for baking muffins, I've always thought it tasted like tree bark would - one of those cereals that makes you feel like an animal in a barn! Anyway, this clever concoction is a fantastic way to get that 10 grams of fiber and the nutty flavor really ADDS to the oatmeal. At first you think there's too much water, but when you add the All-Bran it soaks it all up and loses its stick-like consistency, blending perfectly. If you hid the box, someone would not be able to guess what you added to the oatmeal. The strawberries and cinnamon make it plenty sweet without sugar, for me. Try it...you'll like it!
