I love oatmeal. Have it often, in between Grain Berry Antioxidant Cereals with Onyx Sorghum. I use Silver Palate Thick & Rough Oats.They are thicker and double toasted in granola ovens for outstanding flavor.
Would frozen fruit be okay?
We didn’t test it with frozen fruit, but it should be fine if you let the fruit thaw and drain it before adding.
