I realized that none of the recipes I discovered truly piqued my interest when I was searching the Internet for the ideal recipe for my homemade cranberry sauce. I made my own after deciding to do so, and the results were nothing short of miraculous.

Healthy, cheap, tastes good, easy to make, easy to clean up. Can’t ask for anything more.
I used 1 cup almond milk and was delicious
I will make this again. Trying to duplicate a wonderful oatmeal mixture we had at a company called Epic in Wisconsin on a business trip. I added chia and flax seeds, brown sugar and cinnamon. They also had blueberry or peach compote that was put on it. For this I added some blueberries the last 5 minutes or so on the stove. Then some toasted pecans when eating it. They had slivered toasted almonds and both are really good addition. I will add this to my repertoire of breakfast recipes.
I made this exactly as the recipe specifies. It’s easy to prepare, and I loved the taste and texture. I am diabetic, and my cranky body seemed to tolerate it well, so I’ll definitely make it again. Thanks, All Recipes, for pointing out this diabetic-friendly breakfast!
Tasty and easy! I added some brown sugar and raisins for my own tastes. This recipe is a good starter that you can play around with in so many ways!
The recipe is great for three days in a row for this single living woman. A little brown sugar, walnuts, milk and I am on my way!
This is easy and delicious. Packed full of nutrients. Add honey or fruit for variety.
This is a perfect base! You can add pretty much any fruit or nuts. I add something different each week and put it in individual cups. In the morning I just heat it up in the microwave and it’s good to go! Try cranraisins and cashews!
Delicious and healthy! I did end up warming (and serving) mine with rice milk. I loved how creamy it turned out, which is a surprise for steel cut oats, but also attribute some of the thick creamy quality to the quinoa. I added bananas for some sweet taste, and pistachios for the salty counterbalance. Already making the next batch for tomorrow.
