Since the first batch, I have added sunflower seeds or walnuts or pecans (or a combination of), dried cranberries, and ground flax seeds. I use brown sugar, but I cut the volume by a third and I add vanilla. I use half oil and half applesauce instead of full volume of oil. Every time I make a variation of this recipe by adding or substituting ingredients, the recipe holds up and ends up delicious each time! I love this so much that I have a batch in the oven as I type -- in 33 humidex weather!

I exchanged applesauce for the OIL - and it worked perfectly! <br />I have made this a number of times since April - especially for my son with all sorts of food-limitations. I easily use a milk-alternative as well.

I use very liberal amounts of cinnamon in my porridge and then don't miss my deliberate action of not using salt.<br /><br />Minute I saw Wilderness Edge I too wondered whether it was Pinawa. My history takes me back to the early days when it was a staff hotel.

They served this for breakfast at Redberry Bible Camp where he worked for many years and it was a hit with the campers. They now make it at least once a week for their family although their version always includes raisins. Adding the fruit and yogurt is brilliant.Bev Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01270938389792314932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6454531829676162260.post-30809949050899100392009-06-08T21:10:21.544-07:002009-06-08T21:10:21.544-07:00I received this recipe or a similar one from some ...I received this recipe or a similar one from some dear friends in N.C.

We love oatmeal in this house. <br /><br />Just an aside, I recently read this about Splenda:<br /><br />"... One of the latest examples involves the artificial sweetener Splenda (its key component being sucralose). Even though it's touted as a natural, safe, no-calorie substitute for sugar, the latest research has shown that, even at normal consumption rates, Splenda can reduce the amount of beneficial bacteria in the intestines by up to 50 percent, increase the pH level in the intestines, increase body weight, and cause the re-routing or inactivation of certain drugs through the alteration of certain glycoprotein levels. (J Toxicol Environ Health A 08;71:1415-1429)<br /><br />Knocking out half of the beneficial bacteria in your lower bowel opens up a Pandora's box of health nightmares, including everything from a weakened immune system and secondary, opportunistic infections to an increase in the risk of prostate, breast, and a host of other cancers. How many decades will pass, and how many lives will be lost, before the news gets out?<br /><br />.... The fact that Splenda depletes beneficial bacterial flora by 50 percent should send chills down the medical community's collective spine. Combine Splenda use with an antibiotic prescription and it's like adding gasoline to a five-alarm fire."<br /><br />I took special note as my friend used this product for a while but stopped some time ago when she started hearing negative reports. I thought I'd pass it on for what it is worth.Cicero Singshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13438108795744902961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6454531829676162260.post-83010940819797224642009-06-08T18:35:01.765-07:002009-06-08T18:35:01.765-07:00hmmm, i have heard of this but never tried it.

I made it for a very picky child of mine who loves granola bars. I added 1 cup of whole wheat flour and used raw honey in place of the sugar. I didn't adjust the honey because of the extra dryness of the flour. I put chocolate chips in and it tastes wonderful. Like store bought chewy granola bars. <br />I love this site.
