Sweetening Plain Oatmeal

Great idea, Carolyn. I never thought of that. I usually use butter or brown sugar. Thanks for the idea. Becky

Use pure honey instead. It is healthier and better tasting.

THIS IS GOOD! Make 1 cup of oatmeal, add as much cinnamon as you like, add as much brown sugar as you like,( I use 2 tsp.) mix- then add 2 heaping tablespoons of applesauce ( use natural-no sugar) mix, eat and enjoy, it tastes like something good, doesn't taste like oatmeal. I'm not an oatmeal lover, but I like this....JOANIE

For the diet inclined try adding a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar. it adds a apple flavour and it is really good for activating that fat burning effect.
