I've been playing around with oatmeal for months..trying to get it to taste like packaged oatmeal...cuz...I love that stuff...but not the processed part of it...after conferring with my friend on how she makes hers...I tried a combo of hers with my own recipe....then I decided on using Almond Milk this time instead of regular milk...it has less protein but close to the same amount of sugar....OHHHH so good!!! I think I could back off the brown sugar to maybe a tbsp or even just not add any at all...the vanilla almond milk seems to be sweet enough without the extra...anyhow...hope you enjoy!!!
