This is one of my favorite CL oatmeal recipes. Sweet enough for us without having to add any sugars. The apple cider and the maple syrup are just enough. I can't imagine making it for guests the morning of with a 3 hour cook time, but I did make it the night before and did like not having to watch over it while it cooked. It reheats really well the next day and a measured serving fills us up all morning.

Really delicious oatmeal - may have added slightly more than 2tbsp. of almond milk and maple syrup to my bowl, but it is outstanding.

hollagraham88~Did you use apple cider vinegar? Recipe calls for apple cider, there is no vinegar in this recipe. We thought this was great and will make again.
