Bradley likes a lot of things, but he goes weeks at a time where he prefers one particular thing more than other things. The past few weeks he's been asking for oatmeal for breakfast, and while I usually give him a low sugar oatmeal that's filled with fruit, once in a while I like to give him something special. Making this sweetened version was partly for him, and partly for his pregnant mom. It's not something we will eat all the time, but definitely something to keep on hand when we want a treat for breakfast. Or when we want a fun Christmas breakfast :) Enjoy!
