Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Creamy Maple Cranberry Oatmeal

I thought I'd share this delicious Oatmeal recipe I found on Quaker's website! I believe in another post Heather said toasted wheat germ was okay to add as long as you have a soluble fiber base, so I always use it and it's never bothered me. You can leave it out if you want to, though!

Creamy Maple Cranberry Oatmeal

3 1/2 cups soy milk
1/4 teaspoon salt (optional)
2 cups oats (quick or old fashioned, uncooked)
1/2 cup dried cranberries (such as Craisins)
1/3 cup maple syrup
1/4 cup toasted wheat germ

1. In medium saucepan, bring soy milk and salt to a gentle boil (Watch carefully).
2. Stir in oats, cranberries, and maple syrup.
3. Return to a boil; reduce heat to medium.
4. Cook 1 minute for quick oats, 5 minutes for old-fashioned oats or until most of soy milk is absorbed, stirring occasionally.
