Yum!!

What is stevia?!

It's a type of sweetener. You could use Splenda instead.

stevia is awesome!

it is a natural herbal sweetener.

I highly recommend it over artificial sweetener, here is a little more info from wiki

commonly known as sweetleaf, sweet leaf, sugarleaf, or simply stevia, is widely grown for its sweet leaves. As a sugar substitute, stevia's taste has a slower onset and longer duration than that of sugar, although some of its extracts may have a bitter or licorice-like aftertaste at high concentrations.

FYI- I made this for breakfast and made a double batch. My kids LOVED it! I topped theirs w/ a little brown sugar (no stevia) and a few walnuts. They said that they want it for breakfast tomorrow! :laugh:

I get it at Kroger in the natural foods selection. But I didn't even use it in the oatmeal and it was still good (you could use splenda also if you wanted!).

Oh, and try this with steel cut oats too! Yum!

Nope, or you could just add cinnamon & nutmeg if you like. The pumpkin just makes it really creamy! I think I'll make it again tomorrow!

I was looking at your recipe and you meant 1 tsp of cinnamon correct? You wrote down 1 tbsp...:flowerforyou:

I used 1 T. cinnamon, but I like cinnamon! You could start w/ 1 tsp. and add more if you like!
