Just tried the recipe this morning. I also found the cinnamon was too much, and that was even after doubling everything else in the recipe. I also replaced the clove with mace and it worked just fine. The one variable this recipe has is the nutmeg; a “dash” is an overstatement, because too much quickly overpowers everything else. Next time I’m going to try a pinch of allspice as well.

Thanks Shane.

I tried this recipe Sunday morning (who has time to devote 45 minutes to breakfast during the week? Oh, yeah, people who don’t have kids).

Anyway, I used the McCann’s oatmeal. I may have overcooked it a little bit, but it was still really good. Served mine with shaved almonds and banana slices (peeled from the bottom, of course.

Couple of notes for when I make this next Saturday: The cinnamon was a bit overpowering for my taste, so I’ll try using half the amount in the recipe. Same for the sugar. I don’t have much of a sweet tooth, so I’ll cut back the brown sugar to about two tablespoons. Can’t go wrong with the honey, though.

Thanks for the recipe, Shane.

One thing I must add for those reading, is that once you’ve had GOOD oatmeal, “Quaker’s Quick Oats” just won’t do it for you…there’s no substance to that slop.

Hey, we do stuff like that with our oatmeal, too. Only I buy the generic stuff at Walmart. It’s the cheapest breakfast I can cook, and I’m a cheapskate.
