This Old Fashioned Oatmeal Pudding is a warm, creamy, and nostalgic treat made with oats, milk, and brown sugar. Simmered to perfection and finished with vanilla and cinnamon, it’s a cozy dessert or breakfast option that’s naturally comforting and easy to make.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 3 cups milk (or dairy-free alternative)
  • ¼ cup brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ cup raisins or chopped nuts (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a medium saucepan, bring milk to a gentle simmer over medium heat.
  2. Stir in oats, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Cook for 10–12 minutes, stirring frequently, until thick and creamy.
  3. Remove from heat and stir in butter and vanilla extract.
  4. Fold in raisins or nuts if using.
  5. Serve warm or chill in the fridge for a few hours for a firmer texture.

Notes

  • Use coconut milk for a richer, creamier pudding.
  • Add a pinch of nutmeg or cloves for extra spice.
  • Top with sliced bananas or caramelized apples for a dessert-style version.
  • Stir in a scoop of vanilla protein powder after cooking for added protein.
  • Reheat with a splash of milk or enjoy cold like custard.
