I tried this last night/this morning. I used 3 cups of CranApple juice instead of 1 1/2 cups each of Cranberry juice and Apple juice. We didn’t have the candied walnuts but it was sweet enough. We really enjoyed it and had enough for another breakfast and to give some away. It seems a little thin when it’s done but it thickens as it cools for a few minutes. I’ll definately make this again.

Is there really that much fat per serving? Or is it for the whole thing? How many servings does this make? It seems a lot for about 1/4 butter for the whole batch. I’d like to try it, but I’m not sure I want to start my day off with that many calories.

Can you use the steel cut oats instead of the regular rolled oats?

Hey

I made this over Christmas with rice as a base instead of oatmeal and it worked really well. I thought it worked great as a festive recipe, I even ended up having it for breakfast most days!!
