oatmeal - Better-n-Rice Pudding

By tinathorn

Ingredients

• 2 cups milk of choice
• 2 servings already-cooked oatmeal (i.e. start with 80 grams, or about 3/4cup, uncooked)
• 1 to 2 tsps cinnamon
• 1 1/2 Tbs pure vanilla extract
• up to 1 cup raisins
• Optional: up to 1/4 cup sweetener of choice (I don’t think it needs any, but when I made this for my mom, I used 1 Tbs sugar for 1/2 of the recipe.)

Preparation

Step 1

This is so easy: Combine all the ingredients and bring to a boil. Then turn down to low heat for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until pudding is the desired consistency. Cooking the oats twice makes them even fluffier and gives the recipe a real pudding-like taste.

The recipe makes 2-4 servings, depending on how big the eater’s appetite is and whether the pudding is being consumed as a meal or a snack.
