I made these with 3 c oats, 1/2 c dried apricots because I didn't have cherries & 1/2 c walnuts--no pecans--to lower fat content some. Also used skim milk. These came out very nice--I like the fact that they're not overwhelmingly sweet, but if you like sweeter I imagine you could up the amount of sugar.
