Blackberry and Apple Oatmeal

Now if those camp ladies had made oatmeal like this, I may have eaten it! This was so easy and speedy. If you use the quick cooking oats it really doesn't take much more time then one of those microwave packets. Really, give it a try! My sister LOVES oatmeal and different ways to doctor it up. I sent this recipe to her before I had even finished eating it, it was that good! This week I'm hoping to work through the other two oatmeal recipes but it will be hard to beat this one. Next up…Dark Chocolate and Orange Marmalade. Sounds more like dessert than breakfast…stay tuned!

  1. i tried this for breakfast this morning. very nice! I didn't have blackberries on hand (though i bet they are wonderful), but i had an apple, so i made the apple topping part. The best part is that you can play around with how much butter, honey, apple, and dry oats you use to get it just how you like it, but you really can't screw it up.
