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.
