Point Count: Oatmeal Redux
So I wanted to figure out a way to keep lots of flavor in that oatmeal recipe, but lower the points to 2 per serving. I think I've got it:
1.5 cups Scottish rolled oats - 6 pt.
3 cups water - 0 pt.
1/2 cup dried fruit - 3 pt.
1 tsp vanilla extract - 0 pt.
3 TB brown sugar - 3 pt.
cinnamon & nutmeg
12 points total, so 2 points for each of six servings. I'm going to try this over the weekend and see if I miss the soy milk at all; it's only 1 point but every one counts, right?
UPDATE: It does make a difference. This, sadly, wasn't very good - I would rather have plain oatmeal, to be honest. Sigh. Oh well, it was worth trying.
