Hi, hope this is the right channel.
I am trying to lower my cholesterol, have type 2 diabetes, and really like Oatmeal, at least, the type that Quaker oats makes called "French Vanilla w/ zero sugar". I don't as much like the kind I make. I am trying to use other "thicker" oats.
The problem is my oatmeal tastes watery, as all it has is water and oatmeal. I don't like the creamier kind w/ milk.
Does anyone know what it takes to duplicate the sweeter "french vanilla" taste in Quaker oats? So far I've tried adding a teaspoon of vanilla powder p/ cup of oats and a teaspoon of erythritol sweetner, to no avail.
