You can add pie apple filling also, just adjust milk so the consistency of the mix is like oatmeal. Peach: instead of 4 C mile, add 2 C chopped peaches with juice and 2 C milk. Chocolate: 4 C chocolate milk plus extra chocolate syrup to taste. You can also add Reeces peanutbutter cups.... Procedure: Coat baking dish with no stick spray. Combine all the ingredients.
