    Oh man, does this look fantastic! As a lover of oatmeal for breakfast, this recipe is a must try for me. I’ve been creating my own dry mixed oatmeal with various nuts, dried fruits and spices which is an easy morning fix with minimal cooking. However, your recipe is so different that this oatmeal lovin’ Farmgirl has got to give it a whirl.

  2. April says:

    Yummmmmm! I am going to have to try this! 🙂

  3. Susan says:

    So does this come out more as a solid, non-slimy consistency. I can’t eat oatmeal because of the gooey, slimy consistency with milk, etc. This looks as though it would be kind of crunchy instead? Maybe more like a granola? I could handle that. I want to eat oatmeal because it is so good for you. Thanks,

    • MaryJane says:

      Hi Susan, I ate some of it later from the pan after it had cooled off and there was none of the “slimy” you talk about. It was so good I couldn’t quit nibbling and I’d just eaten.

  4. Wanda says:

    You really pushed my ‘like’ button with this. I love both oatmeal and blueberries! I plan to be smelling this in my kitchen soon. Thanks.

    Do you have nutrition info for this? There are so much good stuff in this but it would be helpful to know the fat and fiber content along with the calorie count. Weight Watchers, you see.
    Thank you.
    So believe in your philosophy of getting back to the land and being “natural” in all!
    Keep up the good work!

    • MaryJane says:

      I’m sure there’s an app for that so you can plug in amounts from the recipes that interest you and calculate for your specific purposes. It seems everyone has something different they’re shooting for.

      • Pat Gstalder says:

        Ah if only I had a phone I could do that on. I have one of those dumb phones. : ) But you are right I can calculate each ingredient to come up with that. Thank you.

  6. Laurie says:

    Wondering about the coconut milk? Is there a difference between the canned coconut milk and say the cartons like the “Silk” brand?. Thinking there must be a reason you chose the canned coconut milk?! Thanks

    Can’t wait to try this – Almonds, coconuts, and blueberries are some of my favorite foods. I also LOVE the purple napkin in the photo 🙂

    Made this recipe over weekend. It is positively one of the most delicious oatmeal recipes ever! I only had regular cut oats and one can of coconut milk so I was concerned it would be dry but I forged ahead anyway. It came out really well and was so yummy. Definitely making it again! Thanks for a wonderful recipe and an awesome magazine
