Love this idea nd I hope you don’t mind that I have linked you from my blog. I’m working on my own variation of the recipe for my son who loves the packet ones but can’t handle the preservatives and additives in them!
Thank you for the great idea )

Hope you all enjoy the recipe. If you have kids who need the “fun” factor bumped up a bit, try buying some sprinkles and using those instead of sugar on the top (we use it on regular cereal too)!

We get some of the shape ones at the local bulk food store (right now they are pink and blue swirled easter eggs). It makes it look more like “junk”-and I think they actually use less sugar with a small sprinkle than with adding a big teaspoon of sugar.

Oh, cool! My husband loves oatmeal on the cooler days, but those packets get expensive. Thanks!
