What size is a serving?
I love these! I added chia seeds to cooking mixture and sprinkled ground flaxseed, sliced almonds and blueberries. Also used Nectresse (monk fruit sweetener) by Splenda. So good! Love waking up to the smell of oatmeal, cinnamon and vanilla. Yum!!
Do you know how much this makes & what a serving size is?
