Excellent way to start your morning and tasty too. Full of fiber and protein.

This was really good. I'll definitely be making it again. My husband is away and I wanted a quick, easy supper for me and my kids tonight. Even though two of the three of them swear they HATE oatmeal, all 3 of them finished their whole bowl! I didn't have any powdered milk on hand so I used about 2/3 regular milk and the other 1/3 water. I added a little more liquid than the recipe listed and cooked them a little longer (I like my oats really soft and chewy though). I also omitted the raisins since 2 of my kids don't like them and served the porridge with raisins, blueberries and chocolate chips on the side so they could choose what they wanted to add (which they loved!). I'll be making this for breakfast in the near future!

I scaled this recipe down to two servings and followed the directions as stated (except I used brown sugar instead of honey). I thought it was okay, though I prefer Grandpa Hubbard's Oatmeal (also from allrecipes.com).

This is how I imagined porridge as a kid! The only thing I did differently was to use more oatmeal and add sugar-free maple syrup instead of honey. I will make this again!

This was really good! I thought the eggs would skeeve me, but everyone enjoyed it (even our 3-year old!). I did add the raisins while I cooked the oatmeal so they would soften a bit, but apart from that, I kept the recipe the same. This definitely kept us full for a long time and was a really tasty breakfast.

My husband and I basically enjoyed this recipe but were put off somewhat by the flavor of powdered milk. There is really no reason why powdered milk has to be used, so if I make it again I will either use regular (skim) milk or simply use water. It would probably also be easier to beat the eggs into the liquid before heating. Otherwise, if you aren't careful, you could end up with streaks of cooked egg throughtout your cereal.

This was just the warm and comforting kind of oatmeal I wanted on a cold winter morning. I topped mine with peach jam instead of honey and it was delicious!b

This was really good. I added more cinnamon (another 1/2 tsp) and I had to cook it a little longer to get it to a good consistency. The first time I made this I put the honey on it - it was great. Even my 3 and 5 year old boys liked it! The next time I made this, I added wild blueberry preserves to my serving. It was soooo good - it tasted kinda like a blueberry muffin!! Yum!

This is a great breakfast. My kids love it. I do (for my own squeamish sake) leave the burner on low while I mix in the eggs. I also cook it with 3-4 TBSP of brown sugar (instead of sweetening at the table). It's filling, healthy and yummy. I've also made it with quick oats and it's good that way too.

It was good - not too different that the oatmeal I make already; But I will add this one mod. instead of powdered milk I use evaporated milk and it makes the custard flavor really stand out - also be careful to remove the porridge from heat BEFORE you add the eggs, or you will end up with stringy egg drop porridge otherwise good recipe!!

Great recipe! I added some brown sugar, as well as letting the raisins cook in the porridge for a few minutes to make them nice and plump. I omitted one egg, because it would have made it too runny, and it tasted fine. It certainly fills you up!

If you dislike the taste of powdered milk, then you will probably find this recipe to be nothing more than 'ok' (thankfully, the rest of the ingredients mask some of the taste of the powdered stuff). And I even added a little less powdered milk than the recipe called for! Even my non-picky, oatmeal-loving toddler wasn't crazy about this one.

Really good. Note that I changed the serving size to 1, and then used 1 egg, 1 tablespoon soy milk powder, and put on a bit (unmeasured) of canned milk after cooking. Probably less honey than it called for too. Delicious and I will definitely make again.

This recipe is wonderful! I made it this past Saturday for my family and it was gobbled up! Even my somewhat picky 5 yr old liked it. I added some wheat germ for extra nutrition. Next time I will also add some milled flax. I used extra cinnamon and was glad I did although it would have been fine I'm sure with the amount in the recipe. Will make again very soon!

I just made this for my breakfast and it is amazing. I loved it. I scaled the recipe back to 1 serving; but still used a full egg. I didn't add the butter at the end but the porridge still turned out creamy and delicious. Next time I may omit the raisins and add a chopped apple to the porridge at the same time as the oats.

This is very good! I've eaten oatmeal all my life but never thought to add eggs to it. I wasn't sure what to expect and was pleasantly surprised. My husband and I both enjoyed it but I still can't get my 9 yr. old daughter to eat oatmeal, even when made into "Mama Bear's Porridge". I'll keep trying but for now, this one will be in my file for Papa Bear and me.

I was really excited about this recipe; the "custard" description intrigued me. Unfortunately, my family and I couldn't really tell any significant difference between this and regular oatmeal. It's not that it was bad, just not... spectacular.

This was very good, both my husband and I enjoyed it; 19 year old daughter didn't care for it though. I used instant oats and just cooked for a minute or two. Did not add raisins and subbed 1/3 c. of brown sugar for the honey. It was very creamy. I used egg substitute and it did cook fully from the heat of the oatmeal, they didn't even know that eggs were added.
