Yes, it looks like mush, but I'm kind of excited about this little recipe. All the ingredients are optional, and they can all be adjusted by preference, but here's what I did.4 cups oatmeal
3 tablespoons powder coffee creamer
1/4 cup oatmeal that's been ground in the food processor (makes it nice and thick)
1 cup dried apples, chopped up (I'd add more if I had more)
3 tablespoons sugar
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1 cup almonds and pecans
1 tablespoon butter
2 tablespoons brown sugar
Toast the nuts on a skillet in melted butter, add brown sugar until everything's toasted and coated. Let cool for a minute, then throw everything together in a bowl or ziplock bag and mix it up. Put some in a bowl, add hot water and/or milk and eat!
If my dried peaches hadn't gone bad, I'd do a 'peaches and cream' oatmeal. Also, I'll do dried cranberries in my next batch. I'm looking for ideas of what to add to this, what other grains would go well?
