This was my breakfast this morning -- delicious! I only made one serving, but did not keep exact proportions (I reduced sugar and raisins etc.). I enjoyed it very much, and I'm not a pineapple lover. Thanks! -
I made this for a mid-afternoon snack today. The only thing I added to this when serving it was a slice of a fresh juicy orange! The flavour burst was exceptionally good! I love raisins and really enjoyed them in this. I reduced the brown sugar by 1/2 a tbsp. as well. I'm not very fond of pineapple, but still quite liked this one. Thanks for posting! -
Very good and easy. This was a nice change from plain oatmeal. -
As an oatmeal eater, this is a delicious way to have a healthy breakfast. I used fresh pineapple and golden raisins. -
I gave this recipe 3 stars. This recipe was good but not great I need more flavor. I love the idea of this recipe. I had to make a few changes to the recipes. I had no crushed pineapple so I chopped up chunked pineapple. I also used Splenda brown sugar. I followed the directions I microwaved 5 minutes the first time and 1 minute the second time. I added more cinnamon after tasting this and a scoop of vanilla protein powder. Overall this made the oatmeal taste better. I may make this again but with a few changes. Thanks for posting a good recipe. Christine (internetnut)

Very good! For some added pineapple flavor I just used the pineapple juice instead of adding water. Topped with some crushed walnuts. Good way to spice up my oatmeal =)

This was so yummy!! I used craisins instead of raisins and i forgot about the cinnamon! Oh well it was great without it! Thanks for the recipe Kree! -
My husband really liked this being the pineapple lover that he is. He also tried it with dried cherries instead of the raisins. Will make again. Thanks Kree. Bullwinkle.
