Oats are a very healthy grain containing wide array of vitamins, minerals and anti oxidants. I have used rolled oats in this recipe. They are byproduct of oat groats and are referred to as old fashioned oats. Oatmeal made with rolled oats cook faster and is a versatile recipe. You can experiment with the flavor as your heart desires. add fresh fruits, even grated carrots, dry fruits or nuts. To sweeten add maple syrup or brown sugar or honey. Jams and fruit preserve also taste good and are more liked by kids.
