OMG! Hot oat bran is delicious. Not only is it delicious, but I really think it tastes just like grits (or has it been so long that I don't remember the true taste of grits).
When I first took it out of the microwave, it tasted sorta like cream of wheat. Then by the time I got to work and really dug in, the texture thickened more like grits. I had put a drop of SF maple syrup in it, thinking this was more like oatmeal. But next time, I am going to put salt (just a little), butter spray or Smart Balance and cheese which is how I used to eat my grits.
I had to try this after reading it in V's journal for so long. Thank you V!!!!
I need to know that I am not delusional and not just really missing my grits. : )
lHas anyone else tried this?




Hi Erica,
I have Oat Bran Hot Cereal, and I like it.
Erica,
Tell me how you cooked it.
I used the measurements on the box but used in all FF milk instead of water.
I get mine at either Whole Foods or Good Foods locally in the bulk section -- it was about half the price of the box!
