Hadn't thought of putting almond extract in my oatmeal before... don't know why because it was superb! I think the sliced almonds are a must on the top... I'm not so sure about the plain yogurt; I used all the ingredients and think that the splenda is only needed if you're using the tangy yogurt. Next time I think I'd omit the yogurt and the splenda altogether and just enjoy the almonds and apricots. Made for Zaar Stars.

    DH said this could almost be a dessert. It is a nice change of pace to our usual oatmeal. I topped it with a sprinkling of brown sugar. I think it would be wonderful drizzled with maple syrup. Think I may give that a try. Thanks for posting.

    I did a half batch of this for breakfast using quick cooking oats & cooked in the microwave. I used half milk half water for cooking for a creamier consistency. It was nice but I did find that the 1/4 tsp almond for the half batch was still too much for my tastebuds. If I make it again I might try and use almond syrup & then no sweetner at the end. Thanks.
