Naturally Sweetened Oatmeal (well, with raisins :)

I'm not a huge fan of oatmeal without some sort of sweetener, but I am trying to find alternates to concentrated sweeteners. Here's what a I came up with. First bite is a far cry from sweet, BUT once you bite into a raisin the rest is delicious!

1 cup cooked oatmeal (click here for directions)
1/4 cup original almond milk
1/4 cup raisins (any dried fruit would be good)
1 teaspoon flax seed
4 or 5 chopped pecans ( I just crack 'em with my fingers right then)
cinnamon
nutmeg
cardamom if you like it

    Tiff, this is how we eat our oatmeal in the morning (except with walnuts, not pecans). Sometimes, I use cranberries with pecans or dried blueberries with almonds just to change things up a bit.

    It's amazing how sweet almond milk is... thanks for posting a link to your page. I have a cooking blog as well (but I've only recently started adding healthier options). I've got some great sweet potato recipes if you want me to share.
