This is a good recipe for a cold morning in lieu of my usual smoothie. Very quick and easy. I used 1 tablespoon of raisins & walnuts, rather than 2 of the dates and walnuts and it was still good. I added a few tablespoons of unsweetened apple juice to keep the oatmeal from sticking.

How much cinnamon would be considered a high dose? OK Ceylon Cinnamon -- one more thing to consider ...

My favorite breakfast food...however I prefer to place pumpkin pie spice in the water and cook the oatmeal in it and add apples and raisins.

This is almost exactly my Steel Cut oat recipe, but instead of dates I put two over ripened bananas. Also a dash of cardamon gives it a nice kick.

I had never liked the texture of steel cut oats until I thought of putting them in the blender after cooking, along with a little soy milk and some soaked raisins. Now, I can't believe how tasty it is. Sort of like eating a decadent cookie dough! Not everyone would like it like this-- so much like batter -but to me it's divine.

My favorite oatmeal contains the following: Oatmeal, boiling water, sliced peaches (frozen), dried apricots (sliced up), raisins, chopped apple, and walnuts. YUM!

Hubby and I just tried this and loved it even though I am not an oatmeal fan! I had a huge apple so only used one apple. I think I'll try doubling the cinnamon and vanilla for a little more flavor. This is definitely be a repeat!

I love this. I make it very often. I just started eating this way last week and have made it 3 times. It does taste like an apple desert. I didn't know dates were such good sweeteners.

anyone ever microwaved this? I disonr use a microwave until I started eating another ETL oat recipe. Now, I don’t even want to mess up a pot. Love the one bowl action.

I generally double these recipes, which altogether makes 5 servings, store, and eat one fifth each weekday am, heated about 90 seconds in microwave, with a splash of almond milk. Delish.

Very nice! I doubled it, used Honeycrisp apples, and added some ground nutmeg too. Reheated each AM with a splash of almond milk, a great breakfast for the week.

Really good, I only used one apple cause two seemed to be too much. It was awsome, from a new nutritarian who is finding it really hard to find any of this food good!! : )

I batch cook a large quantity of steel cut oats so that I can scoop it out for breakfast. What would that serving amount be? I usually ccok up 1-1/2 cups and it lasts for a week. Maybe I am serving myself too small of portions?

Is there a problem with not peeling apples? I always like to use the peel for extra fibre.

We love this recipe. Have been using it for the base then adding or substituting nuts, seeds and berries as our tastes dictate. Cannot go back to plain oatmeal.

Three years after first making this, it's still my go-to breakfast! It's morphed into something really delicious: I always put in the apples, cinnamon and a medjool date, but I like to throw in a pear or peach, and I dump in ground flax seed, whole chia seeds, chopped walnuts, and unsweetened coconut flakes. I cook it in my instant pot and make a three day batch, then can just reheat it for the next couple of days. My daughter likes to add banana slices to top hers off. You can really have fun with this and it always tastes sweet and good, good, good!!!

I see nothing about GLYPHOSATE in regular oats. Wouldn't it be wise to suggest that all oats be organic? Glyphosate from RoundUp has been known to be in regular oats and distroys stomach good bacteria as well as causing NON HODGKINS LYMPHOMA.

I make a version of this (only because I already was before I saw this recipe!) that is almost identical. But I make it at night and refrigerate it and eat it cold the next morning. I've had it both ways and it is MUCH better cold. It tastes exactly like an apple pie. You get the apple filling part and then the cold oats taste like crust. It's WAY better cold, to me. It's also more flavorful. Somehow when it's warm, the flavors don't come out as much.

I have been making this for the last several years. I add the chopped apple to the oatmeal about 3 minutes into the 5 minute cooking time and add raisins to it for about the last 30 seconds. It usually takes a few additional minutes to finish cooking, but the apples and raisins get to soften and the oatmeal is still nice and hot when you eat it. I just top it off with the cinnamon and nuts and stir it in while eating. Will have try it with the added vanilla. Sounds really good.

Can I substitute oat bran for the oatmeal? Also, I have been using oat bran in blender drinks, and smoothie bowls, but I don't cook it. Is it Ok to eat it raw?

This is a very tasty and satisfying breakfast. I did some calorie counting, however, and came up with about 390 calories per serving as opposed to the 284 stated. Has anyone ever gone through the exercise?

Surprisingly filling, a little too sweet for me, but still delicious. I swapped one tablespoon of walnuts for ground flaxseed, next time I'll add less raisins.

This is really good! I used steel cut oats which needed about 30 mins cook time. Also added the apple and dates to the pot half way through cooking. As with most Dr Fuhrman recipes, this turned out to be at least 2 servings, not just 1!
