jenna - I do point calcs on total calories/fat/fiber it’s just my choice and I find they usually come out higher. I’m a big believer in rounding up.

You aren’t wrong at all. I’m just overly cautious! :)

I make it the pretty much the same except I dice up an apple instead of applesauce!

I also make a Blueberry Muffin Oatmeal!

1/2c Quaker Old fashioned oats
1/4c Blueberries (I use frozen)
1tsp Brown Sugar
1tsp Vanilla
Cinnamon to taste

I saw thsi post months ago and its pretty much my everyday bfast…..I was looking at it again today and I am wondering how you figure 4 points I have always figured 3; 2 for the oatmeal and 1 for the applesauce. Hopefully I have not been figuring it wrong for months =D

Hello Roni,
I wanted to share with you what I do with my oatmeal. I peel and thinly slice an apple, add water to it and microwave for a few minutes, then I add approx 1/2 cup of oatmeal the mixture will be very thick, to this I add approx 1/2 cup of fat free vanilla yogurt and cinnamon. I find it makes a nice breakfast and is filling.

Lesley,

I have re-heated oatmeal before. You just need to add a bit more water as you re-heat. Amount wil depend on how much you have, just add a bit at a time. It still comes out good :)

Lesley - I’m not that will work. I’m thinking it may be too gluey. If you try it you’ll have to let me know!

I make something like this but I use homemade applesauce.

Homemade applesauce is so much better than store bought. You can even make up a couple batches and store them in the frig so morning time is faster since it’s already made (that’s what I do).

I have a very simple homemade applesauce recipe on my blog:

I love this recipe. I have been trying to find something I like so I can stop using the packet stuff, and now I have! Even better I found this just one day after reading that oatmeal could help increase my milk supply. Thank you!! Do you think it would work if I made a larger batch and put in fridge and brought to work and reheated?

Lola - I think it’s genius! Have you seen my ideas where I cook it in tea?

I was laughing so much with this video! My 5 year old was laughing too with the knock knock jokes “int he toilet” that was just the best in his opinion….it actually was pretty funny! lol and the cinnamon stick taste test was such a great way to end it! I am still chuckling.

I am gonna make this right now….its dinner time but I could so go for this =) I ate the tortilla pizza for lunch and apple pie oatmeal for dinner….or since I have quite a few points left maybe a pre dinner snack =D

We tried this today and 2 out of 3 loved it. Even my non-oatmeal eating son liked it. I’m making it again tomorrow to see how my Other Half likes it. And I just might try it with a dollop of low fat vanilla yogurt like “Nicki” suggested. YUM!
