“I add 2 tablespoons of raisins to the water when I cook my oatmeal. Then sprinkle with cinnamon and serve with skim milk.” –Mary<\/p>\n

“I have a small, inexpensive rice cooker that does a wonderful job on
\noatmeal. I replace about a third of the water with skim milk, and add a
\nfew raisins, (the tiny snack boxes work great), and a few dried
\ncranberries, flip the switch and let it go.  Occasionally, I’ll add a few chocolate chips after it’s cooked.” –Anonymous<\/p>\n

“I add natural applesauce, lots of cinnamon, and a handful of walnuts!” –Katherine<\/p>\n

“I usually add dark chocolate 70% cocoa to my oatmeal every morning. I get the benefit of antioxidants in dark chocolate as well.” –Helen<\/p>\n

More oatmealy recipes to add?  I can’t get enough!<\/p>\n
