I made it for breakfast today. I was craving oatmeal cookies (I am 8 months preggers) and this really hit the spot. We added raisins. I look forward to trying it with other fruits.

I always substitute the oil w/ all applesauce and use 1/2-3/4 c sweetener - honey, molasses or brown sugar depending on my mood. I often add a mashed banana, blueberries or apples and often drizzle molasses over the top to give it a prettier look. I have also made it like normal but put in muffin tins and made muffins instead of a pan. It seems to keep nicer and is easier to serve again the next day. The half recipe makes 12 good size muffins.

Had some for breakfast just this morning.Although I often use that amount of sugar, I find it quite sweet without any extra sugar on top! The way I eat it is with a few more shakes of cinnamon and just enough milk to make it soggy, and heat it up. :) That is my favorite recipe. Had some for breakfast just this morning.

Also, substitute the milk with almond milk or soy milk. You can also use egg substitute instead of eggs.

That is what I always do. You need less honey than sugar, and it does change the consistency a bit, but my kids still love it!

I start it with crescent rolls rolled out flat along the bottom of the pan, sprinkle shredded cheese then cooked, chopped sausage. I mix 6-8 eggs with a little milk, onion powder and dried mustard powder, pour over the sausage, top again with shredded cheese (sharp cheddar is great!) and bake for about 20-25 minutes.It's not a very healthy one, but I use low-fat crescent rolls, skim milk and low-fat sausage to try and cut down the calories a little.

In a small crock pot combine 1/4 cup steel-cut oats and 1 cup water. It takes about 1 1/4 hours to cook. When done add 2 T. pumpkin pie mix, 2 T. freshly ground flax seed (also bought in bulk section) 1 teaspoon cinnamon. Heat for another 5 minutes. Top off with 1/3 cup fresh blueberries. This will serve one. I buy steel-cut oats at Outpost Foods in the bulk section for 89 cents a pound. In a small crock pot combine 1/4 cup steel-cut oats and 1 cup water.
