I really liked this the first time I made it. But have since changed it a bit to fit the taste buds of my kids. I make my oatmeal as I normally do (water, oats, raisins, br. sugar, cinn., milk, etc) but I add a Tbs or so of powd. milk when it's still on the stove, as well as an egg, for the added creaminess and protein. So, same idea as the recipe, but just scaled down.

This porridge is wonderful! (I admit, I don't really know the difference between porridge & oatmeal) I like that it doesn't use sugar or sugar subs to sweeten, but that it uses honey. I did not add raisins and left mine plain, added cherries to my hubs' and bananas to the bebe's. All three were extremely well received! This recipe is definitely a keeper!

The four little bears in my household all loved this recipe! I did make some of the adjustments suggested by other reviewers -- continuing to cook while adding the eggs and sweetening with brown sugar. It was definitely a hit with the kids.

I have been eating this recipe every morning for about a week now. I have made so many different ways, like with almondmilk, with no milk at all, with normal milk replacing the powdered milk, with and without vanilla extract, etc. The recipe is very versatile and i can change it depending on whatever I have in my fridge or feel like making. I fourth the recipe but keep the original amount of cinnamon every time. I love how creamy and delicious (esp with honey YUM) this recipe is!! I have never tasted any oatmeal quite like this!It has ton of protein which I need since I started P90x about 2 weeks ago and i love how it keeps me satisfied and full till lunchtime even if I don't eat lunch till 1 or 2.Thanks you so much Becky!!

I thought this was an excellent recipe. I have two picky kids who I have been trying just about every recipe I find to get them to eat oatmeal. Thought this one would do it, but no so much. It came a lot closer than most, but i am still looking.... Thanks anyway! I will definitally make it for myself, though!

I thought this was very good! I like warm breakfast cereal, so this was perfect for me. I did it exactly the way written, except I was a little impatient and added my raisins and vanilla right after it returned to a boil. :) I don't think it changed the overall taste any, but it did make the raisins softer (which I liked!). I will be making this again tomorrow for breakfast!

This stuff is amazing! It was rich and creamy, like a dessert for breakfast but kept me full and satisfied all day.

This was like a custard-y oatmeal. It had a velvety, pleasant texture, but lacked a little sweetness when made as written. You certainly could sweeten it to your liking by adding more honey or even some sugar sprinkled on. If you don't like oatmeal, though, you probably won't like this.
