Ingredients

• 1 cup Old-fashioned rolled oats
• 2.5 cups Whole milk (or milk of choice)
• 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.125 teaspoon Salt
• 1 Egg yolk (optional, for richness)
• 0.25 cup Raisins (optional)
• 1 tablespoon Butter (optional, for extra creaminess)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium saucepan, combine the rolled oats, whole milk, granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, and salt.

Step 2

Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally to prevent the oats from sticking to the bottom.

Step 3

Once the mixture begins to simmer, reduce the heat to low and cook for about 15-20 minutes, stirring frequently, until the oats are soft and the mixture thickens to a pudding-like consistency.

Step 4

If using an egg yolk, temper the yolk by whisking it in a small bowl and gradually adding a few spoonfuls of the hot oatmeal mixture while whisking constantly. Slowly stir the tempered yolk back into the saucepan and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly, until fully incorporated.

Step 5

Stir in the vanilla extract and raisins (if using) during the last minute of cooking.

Step 6

For added creaminess, stir in the butter until fully melted and combined.

Step 7

Remove the saucepan from heat and let the pudding cool slightly. Serve warm or chilled, garnished with an extra sprinkle of cinnamon if desired.
