    Slow cooker overnight! You can make enough for 3 or 4, or just you plus some great leftovers. :O)

    Oats - 2 cups
    Almond milk - 2 cups
    Cinnamon - 1 Tablespoon
    Vanilla - 1 Tablespoon

    Mix in the slow cooker and let it do its thing. I get 6 servings out of it. It will keep in the fridge for that long. When I eat it, I add slivered almonds and some fruit, either fresh and sliced (or whole berries), unsweetened applesauce, or if I am being lazy I will use jam.

    I do PB in it with a little honey (can leave that out though) and make it like a dip to eat with sliced apples.

    I also put chocolate protein powder in it and coconut for a dessert type thing.

    Gingerbread porridge! I use unsweetend soy milk and water, then add a couple of sweeteners, ginger, mixed spice, and sultanas. Sometimes I add ground almonds for protein.

    Then once it's done stir in half a teaspoon of black treacle (a little goes a long way this stuff is strong).

    You get a delicious, golden brown bowl of warm spicy goodness MMMMM

    Oh dear...I guess it a cultural thing. I grew up with oats and brown sugar and the top of the milk..us kids would fight over the top....but putting eggs and stuff on it or in it just turns my stomach...I have tried strawberry jam..peanut butter and even on a down day vegemite but not..eggs, bacon etc:blushing: each to his own.

    I make a batch and the extras go in the fridge for later in the week.

    ShannyCakes:
    4 Egg Whites
    1/4C Cottage Cheese
    1/2C dry measure Oatmeal
    Cinnamon - 1tsp or more to taste
    Splenda - 4 packets or to taste
    (optional) 1 cap of Vanilla Extract
    Place all ingredients into a blender for 20-30 seconds. This makes a very thin watery batter. Preheat a non-stick pan on low to medium low. Spray with cooking spray and pour in the batter. I make 1 large pancake but you can make several smaller ones. The pancake is ready to flip when small bubbles appear on the top of the batter.
    ** Add 1/2 a banana (or other fruit) in the batter for a change of pace and a boost in carb count for this meal.
    ** Try adding canned pumpkin and some additional pumpkin pie spice for another variation of this meal
    ** I cook up 4-5 pancakes in advance for a tasty and very convenient on-the-go meal! As soon as the pancake has finished cooking, flip onto a sheet of plastic wrap. Roll the pancake like a fruit roll up or a burrito, cover in plastic wrap and store in the fridge. This will keep your ShannyCakes soft and moist.

    I have recently started having overnight oatmeal parfaits. DELICIOUS and super filling.

    1/2 cup oats
    1/4 cup greek yogurt
    1 tablespoon jam (whichever flavour you prefer)
    1/2 milk
    and then to top it off I added frozen blueberries....tomorrow its raspberries.

    These are definitely my new morning obsession.

    While these all look delicious, just be very careful kikityme because of the carb count from the oatmeal and fruit, etc. with diabetes.

    I put them in my smoothies all the time, I soak them for about 8 hrs beforehand and store it in the fridge to use for the next days smoothie. Just cover them with 1/2in to 1in of water and let it soak.
