TVP "Oatmeal"

Need to cut carbs, but miss hot cereal? This is one of my favorite breakfast cereals. My favorite way to make it is in a slow cooker ("crock-pot"), but you can do it on the stove or even in the oven. It keeps in the fridge for up to a week, and freezes well.

Put in crockpot, saucepan, or *large* casserole dish (be careful about this - when I tested it in the oven, it overflowed):

1 quart unsweetened soy milk (can use coconut milk or any other milk)
2 C TVP
Spices/flavorings to taste. I like:
1T cinnamon
1 t nutmeg
1.5 T vanilla
Sweetener to taste

You can also whisk in eggs if you want. If you use 4 eggs or more, it makes it more like rice pudding.

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.
