Microwaving for 3 minutes (in a big bowl) works really well too. Sometimes I add skim milk and brown sugar (or maple syrup) when I serve this. It's so yummy we even eat it for dessert. Other chopped dried fruit works really well too. I like the cranberries because they have a tart refreshing flavor. 7 grain cereal is available pretty widely in North America, but you could also make your own. I use it to make pancakes, crackers, cookies and muffins (anything that you would use oats in.) I also used it to make my lentil tacos less runny, and would like to try it for making burgers. > yogi (Michael & Laura), Apr 1997 to The Low Fat Vegetarian Archive www.fatfree.com breakfast recipes S(MC formatted / posted by): " Brenda Adams <badams007 " - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - NOTES : Recently I have been making this really yummy breakfast - it is even eaten (with great relish) by my hot cereal disliking 'spouse-like'.
