    Quick, Easy, and Healthy!

    Rated: 4 stars out of 5
    I work full time, and I am always looking for healthy breakfast options that are quick and easy. This takes hardly any time... at all. I can make it at night and refrigerate for the next morning. No more scrambling around when I'm running out the door. I'm excited to try this with other fruit variations. Read more

    GREAT!

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    I make this oatmeal at least once a week (eat half of it that morning, and put the rest in the fridge for the next morning). ... It is absolutely perfect! I work and am still able to put this together very quickly in the morning. Use the quick cooking oats, and it just takes minutes! The texture of the dried cherries is fantastic. I have found that I like it best with raspberry jam, but any combo of jam/dried fruit is wonderful!Read more

    Awesome

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    This recipe was great. Oatmeal usually tastes bland but this made it not even taste like oatmeal! The texture was so creamy... and rich I'm glad I bought the big oatmeal box. I couldn't find dried cherries so I used fresh ones which lost a bit of flavor, but I sprinkled a few on top and it made it all the better. I also doubled the vanilla. This will be a recipe I'll make forever!Read more

    Awesome Oatmeal!!

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    I normally have to sweeten my oatmeal with cinnamon and sugar. This is perfect with the cherries adding just the right... amount of sweetness. I cut the recipe in half to make 1 serving.Read more

    Yum!

    Rated: 4 stars out of 5
    What a great way to spice up oatmeal! I used 2/3 of the jam (raspberry and strawberry, since I didn't have cherry), and added... walnuts (at least an equal amount to the cherries). Yummy!Read more
