OH. EM. GEE (as in goodness)!!!!!!
I'm an oatmeal lover. Not that nasty stuff you get in a little brown packet (though in a pinch, it'll do). I'm talkin' about the yumminess you get cooking oats, water (no milk for my girls, remember), and raisins on the stove top (or in the microwave on busy mornings). The oatmeal I ate for breakfast today was sooooo delicious!! Seriously, it's a recipe that takes everyday oatmeal up by several notches. You can find the recipe directly under the photo (click on "source").
I did make some changes (of course). No milk, obvs, so I just amped up the water amount. I'm not a big fan of walnuts, so I used of the rest of my silvered almonds. I opted for toasted coconut because it's the only coconut I have on hand. And I was a bit more heavy-handed with the brown sugar than the makers of this recipe advised. :D I used regular yogurt (only for myself) and it was like the frosting on the cake.
If you like oatmeal and carrot cake, make this! And if you have a delectible more-than-the-average-oatmeal recipe, send it to me por favor!
