I made 100% plant-based old-fashioned café au lait flavored pudding using leftover oatmeal, which I made for my breakfast. I know it's a kind of silly long name to laugh at, but the taste of this pudding reminds me of the coffee milk packaged in the pyramid-shaped carton that came with the school lunch when I was in elementary school. We usually get plain cow milk, which I did not enjoy. But, once in a while, we get this coffee milk. It was sweet, and the bitterness of coffee made me feel grown-up every time I took a sip. It's a taste of nostalgic memories for me. 100% plant-based old fashioned café au lait flavored pudding (5 mason jars of 8 onz (236 ml) Ingredients: ・ 1/2 cup leftover oatmeal ・ 3 cups vegetable milk (soy, oat or coconut milk) ・ 2-3 TBS dandelion coffee 🌻If you prefer the stronger coffee flavor, please add more. 🌻If you like chocolate flavor, you can use cocoa powder instead👍 ・ 3 TBS maple syrup 🌻 If you like sweeter, you can add more ・ 1 tsp agar powder ・ 2 TBS tapioca starch (corn/potato starch, or kudzu) ・ A pinch of sea salt Directions: 1. Add all the above ingredients to the blender and blend well. 2. Pour the above mixture into a medium saucepan, boil over medium heat, and when thickened, simmer for another 3 minutes over low heat. (keep stirring the bottom of the pan with a wooden spatular to avoid burning) 3. Put in mason jars or glasses and cool in the refrigerator. How to make your oatmeal Boil 1 cup of your oatmeal (steel-cut/rolled oatmeal or any oats), 2 - 3 cups of water, and a pinch of sea salt in a saucepan over medium heat until it becomes soft. When it's a busy morning, I usually cook oatmeal. It takes only about 20 min. Well, if you compare cooking rice, this is much faster! All you have to do is to add oatmeal, water, and a pinch of sea salt in the saucepan and cook it until it becomes creamy soft. Although you may need to stir occasionally to avoid burning, it is still simple and straightforward to cook. I can make an easy, quick vegetable miso soup or warm-up leftover soup while I cook oatmeal. I love eating my oatmeal over the soup instead of milk. It is almost like a risotto, super satisfactory,fulfilling and very healthy! 😀 If I use the microwave, I know it would be much faster and convenient. But I haven't used the microwave for nearly ten years after I learned about the hazards of microwave cooking. Microwaves were originally called "radar ranges" when they were first introduced in the 1970's, You blast your food with high-intensity radar to make it hot... It does not sound natural. So, I try to use a stovetop burner for all my cooking. When I want to warm up the leftover rice, I usually steam it. Oats are one of the most nutritious whole-grain foods having a lot of remarkable medicinal benefits, such as lowering your cholesterol, eliminating free radicals to prevent cancer, keeping bowel movements regularly with their high fiber content, stabilizing the blood sugar level, enhancing the immune system for faster healing and support hormone balance. Since oats do not have much flavor, we can create many different types of savory dishes and desserts, such as this pudding. Besides, they are very affordable. I think it is wise to incorporate them into our cooking occasionally.
