I love oatmeal. I love eating it for lunch more than
breakfast. It’s a nice hearty meal that easily carries me through until
dinner. One of my favorite oatmeal flavors is maple brown sugar but I don’t like the kind in a box. I like it homemade. I think the boxed
oatmeal is too over the top and has a fake maple flavor and I don't like the smell either.
In an effort to remove as much pre-fab food from our diets I
haven’t been buying anything much in a box lately anyway. I thought I would try
to make my own maple brown sugar oatmeal and I am sure happy I did!
This recipe is delicious! It has just the right amount of
oats to sweetness ratio that is full of flavor and leaves you very full. I am
excited it turned out so good! With many attempts in the past I wasn’t
anticipating much success but this recipe is a winner.
