    I loved the creamy texture of this oatmeal. I used my own homemade yogurt which is way less tangy than store bought. Also used 2 diced peach slices, 3 pecan halves chopped and a packet of splenda. A very satisfying, filling and healthy breakfast and one I will make again and again. Made this for one. So easy to put together the night before and have breakfast ready in the morning. I do not see why (other than nutritional value) that instant oatmeal could not be used.

    I really like the ease of this. It makes for such a quick and easy breakfast the next morning and doesn't taste bad either! It's a nice change of pace from hot oatmeal and a different flavor sensation altogether. My kids and DH like this, too.

    Yum! I prefer this oatmeal dish to the traditional! I really enjoyed it and it gave me such energy for the work day! I didn't have fresh fruit, subbed a spoonful of raspberry preserves. Can't wait to try again with maple syrup, brown sugars and raisins!

    I really wanted to love this...I really did. Like Tanya S I used nonfat plain yogurt. I added 3 tbsp. of splenda and about 1/2 tbsp of vanilla to try to make it more like vanilla yogurt. And I used frozen berries (1/2 rasberries 1/2 blueberries). But the texture was really hard for me to cope with. My husband kept saying it looked like spackle. It was so thick that I found that I almost gagged sometimes. I am so sorry. I wanted to love it!
