get creative with those! use oats as a base and add anything you like!

 "An excellent recipe! I made several changes for mine; 1/2c Splenda instead of 1/4c, 1/2 tsp. cinnamon, and I omitted the apricots and chocolate. I changed the 1/2c water to 3/4c skim milk and added 2 scoops of protein powder to boost the protein. I also added 2 tbs's of an imitation honey to give them a hint of honey flavor. I will definitely make again! " - adrianf06

    I loved this! Used cranberries, golden raisins, added peanuts too. I like the milk idea. Will probably use soy next time. I added honey on top about halfway through baking time, and it really gave it a great taste! Thabks for posting!

    Didn't like it - far too bitter. We had it with custard and still had to add syrup to it to make it edible. :(
