However, the recipe calls for quite a bit of milk and eggs and I know my kids will just drink it down in two seconds and then want more. Or something else. Or both. Oiy. So, I wanted to bulk it up a bit, that it might hold their tummies for at least a little while.
I made the warm vanilla soother recipe, (but only with three egg yolks because that's all we had), and I added one cup of oatmeal to it while it was cooking. It ended up like warm vanilla soother oatmeal pudding. Yum. It was delicious. :-)

But still, I did not want to make it very often because it really used up so much of my milk and eggs and also, even with the oatmeal added, the kids ate the whole thing and were still asking for more. How can I tweak this recipe so that it is still yummie and creamy like pudding but still uses less eggs and milk? Here is what I came up with:

Oatmeal Pudding
3 cups water or milk
1 or 2 TBS yogurt
1 1/2 cups oatmeal
2 ripe mashed bananas
2 TBS ground flax (or you could add two eggs, or one egg and one TBS flax)
honey to taste (i think i added about 1/3 cup)
vanilla to taste (about 1 tsp)
cinnamon to taste (1/4 to 1/2 tsp)
the night before, put the water/milk, yogurt and oatmeal in a pan and stir it up. cover it and leave it to soak overnight. in the morning, mash the bananas, and add the bananas, flax, honey, cinnamon and vanilla to the pan. cook over medium heat until it is nice and creamy. stir frequently if you used eggs to make sure they don't scramble in your oatmeal-- gross! add more milk if you want it more creamy. (i added 1/2 cup milk while cooking)

| Yum, yum. :-) |
Okay, so what would I do differently the next time I made this? I would probably use one egg and 1 TBS flax and soak the oatmeal using at least 1 cup milk for added creaminess. And that's it. I will definitely be making this creamy oatmeal pudding for breakfast again, and often. :-)
