TVP Oatmeal

STOCK PHOTO

This is actually a great way to be able to eat Hot Cereal! I have been battling with morning sugars already, but, I was at 160 before eating and 2 hours later I was at 140 after eating this.

I make it on the stove top and it turns out great. I remember when I was little my mom putting chopped apples or raisins in my sister and I's oatmeal. I may have to do that with this (in moderation) but overall it tastes great!

Prep Time: 5 minutes

Cook Time: 5 hours

Total Time: 5 hours, 5 minutes

Ingredients:

• 2 C TVP granules  (What is TVP?)
• 1 quart unsweetened soy milk (can use coconut milk or other milk)
• 1 T cinnamon
• 1 t nutmeg
• 1 1/2 T vanilla
• Or adjust the above seasonings to your taste
• Sweetener to taste
• Optional: Whisk in eggs. 4 eggs makes it more like rice pudding.

Preparation:

Mix all ingredients in crockpot, large saucepan/Dutch oven, or large covered casserole dish (be careful about this - when I tested it in the oven, it overflowed).

Cooking Times

• Crockpot/Slow Cooker: It will be cooked in about 2 hours on high or 4 hours on low, but you can let it go longer and it won't hurt it.
• Oven: About 1 hour at 350 F.
• Stovetop: Bring to boil, then simmer for 30-45 minutes, stirring occasionally - you should know by looking when it's done.
• It says 30-45 Minutes but it honestly does not take this much time. I cook it until most of the liquid has dissipated and then add my diced apples and milk and sweetener and enjoy :) 

Carb Count: Assuming unsweetened soy milk and liquid sweeteners (zero carbs), the entire recipe has about 36 ECC and makes about 6-10 bowls of "oatmeal", depending upon the size.

Please Note: The 'ECC' is from the original recipe, I have the full nutrition facts listed below.  I feel we should have the full details and we can decide for ourselves if we want to calculate ECC/Net Carbs etc on our own. 

What is TVP? 
TVP® (Textured Vegetable Protein) is made from reduced-fat soy beans and is used to replace or extend ground meats. It is also added to casseroles to add extra flavor and nutrition.
