    The last 2 days I've had my oatmeal with blackberries.

    I start the oatmeal on the stove. Add 1/2 tsp of cinnamon and 1 tsp of vanilla extract. Let it boil for about 4 min. Then add 1/2 Cup of blackberries. When it's done, put it in a bowl and top with 2 Tbsp of chopped walnuts and 1 tsp of brown sugar. Love it.

    Mmm.... yours sounds so good, I just made my batch for the week, steel cut with vanilla, cinnamon, splenda, and flax meal!

    I really like to add coconut, almonds, and cranberries as well.

    I'm in love with steel cut oats. They are worth the time. My favorite add ins: almonds, cinnamon, craisins, cocnut, pecans, and walnuts (not all together).

    I substitute TVP for oatmeal, add an egg or two. Then I top with Libby's canned pumpkin, DaVinci's sugarfree syrup, and 1 tbsp of flaxseed oil.

    This is the first time the cherry vanilla combination has actually sounded appealing to me. Thank you for this!
