The Milkman worked great in my home-made oatmeal last weekend. It put a nice "finish" on it - just a hint of creamy taste with the instant oats, cherries, pecans, vanilla, and cinnamon. (I might have put half a tablespoon of brown sugar in, too, but I can't remember for sure.) The milk gave it that "creamy" flavor you get with the Instant Peaches and Cream flavors.
