Mama Bear's Porridge

Submitted by Kittencalrecipezazz

"This is almost like rice pudding, it's a stick-to-your-ribs breakfast! Don't worry about adding raw eggs, they will cook completely in the porridge! This can also be made in the microwave, but you will need to remove a couple of times to stir."

 

• Ready In: 20mins
• Ingredients: 11
• Serves: 3-4

ingredients

• 3 cups water
• 1 cup powdered milk
• 1 1⁄2 cups rolled oats
• 1⁄2 - 1 teaspoon cinnamon (or to taste)
• 2 -4 tablespoons white sugar (to taste) (optional) or 2 -4 tablespoons brown sugar (to taste) (optional)
• 1⁄2 cup raisins
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 3 eggs
• 1 tablespoon butter (can use more)
• 1 1 cup half-and-half or 1 cup full-fat milk
• honey

directions

1. In a large heavy-bottomed saucepan bring 3 cups water to a boil.
2. In another bowl mix together powdered milk, oats, cinnamon and sugar (if using, can use white or brown sugar) quickly stir into the boiling water; return to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for about 6-10 minutes or until the mixture is desired thickness.
3. Remove from heat and mix in the raisins and vanilla.

This is wonderful! I used brown sugar and the eggs did completely cook with the heat of the porridge. I am a hot cereal freak and appreciate the protein count in this as I don't eat every day. Thank you for a keeper!

First let me say that I made a lightened version using Splenda, fat free evap milk, Molly McButter. and less raisins. The likeness to rice pudding is a good one but to be honest I wasn't nuts about the egg in the oatmeal. Also it didn't cook in the cereal and I had to microwave it for it to cook. I believe that I'll skip the egg and the powdered milk and keep the vanilla, raisins and cinnamon. I'm glad I tried it and it does make a hearty breakfast as well as an easy and quick one.
