Take a cup of uncooked oatmeal and mix it with about a 3/4 cup of heated apple juice. You don't have to cook it to enjoy the pleasant flavor.

It gives them a different taste than just plain oatmeal. You could also try using brown sugar and cinnamon instead of white sugar to sweeten your oatmeal. They may like it.

The instant oatmeal would be perfect for this recipe. Oatmeal Cake 1 1/2 cups prepared Oatmeal 1/2 cup butter or shortening 1 cup brown sugar 1 cup white sugar 2 eggs 1 1/3 cup flour 1 t. cinnamon 1/2 t. nutmeg 1 t. baking soda 1/2 t. salt Cream butter and sugars. Add eggs and oatmeal and mix well. Add dry ingredients. Spread in a greased 9X13 pan and bake at 350º for 30-35 minutes. Spread with topping and return to oven for 3 minutes. Topping 1/2 cup butter 1/2 cup brown sugar 1/2 cup milk 1/2 cup chopped nuts 1 cup coconut (or you can use 1 cup dry oatmeal) Bring butter, brown sugar and milk to a boil. Cook slightly( 2 or 3 minutes) Add coconut(or oatmeal) and nuts. Spread on hot cake. Return to the oven for 3 minutes. My kids are grown, but my grandkids and great grandkids enjoy this as much as their parents did.

I used them in cookies in place of quick-cooking oats and they turned out fine. The flavored ones would probably work too, and add an interesting flavor to the cookies.
