Totally agreed, but I was also surprised not to see raisins on your list! They're great cooked right along with the oats: they'll soak up a little water (or milk if you do it that way) and plump back up a bit, and they make for delicious bites. I also usually make steel-cut oats in a rice cooker – the raisins don't come out quite as delicious with quick oats because they don't get as much opportunity to soak up water, but they're still good.

Try some cardamom spice in there, too -- but don't add it until near the end. Cardamom's flavor dissipates when cooked too long.

Ooh, good suggestion, I'll give it a try!
