Posts: 687 I grew up seeing my grandmother fix oatmeal in milk, which she first simmered with cinnamon sticks in it then added sugar, a little salt and when finished sprinkled with powedered cinnamon. I made my own adaptation by using old fashioned oats, honey and a bit of molasses. Today I have to use soy milk or a combination of coconut milk/water and use mostly Splenda to sweeten it and I sometimes I like to add raisins or a combo of raisins and dried cranberries and/or chopped almonds, yum! I like to vary the spices so I've tried a little powdered cloves or pumpkin spice.

Posts: 10 Ok, here is something new for you. make your oatmeal one day in advance let it cool, add two table spoons of yogurt to it and keep it in a warm place for 24 hours or until it sours. Add a frozen banana and put it in a blender with some honey, if it is too thick add a bit of water. What you are getting is a pre-digested food that tastes pretty good and it's full of enzymes! If you want to spice it up a bit more add some coco powder to it. MM
