Ohh yumm!!! I have a bag of whole oats lying around, and I love dried cherry flavoured cranberries so I'll probably sub those in along with soy milk. Unfortunately I'll have to drop the butter and nuts but I'm sure the awesome cherries will more than make up for it!

It's recipes like this one that make me really miss the good old days of being able to process even small amounts of fat! Thanks for posting it!

P.S. Would you mind if I posted it on my blog once I make it? I will of course give you all credit! Thanks again!
