Delicious!
Me and my husband like to eat oatmeal for breakfast, and this was such a great treat. Lots of fruit and flavor. And easy to prepare!

So Yummy But...
This was really awesome, easy to make, and full of flavor. We did add more fruit than recommended but I'm crazy about figs! The down side is it left me wanting something more so come up with something as a great side to this and you'll be more fulfilled with your meal.
