My mom used to serve a version of this for breakfast—cooked with milk, sugar, and a hint of cinnamon. It is still one of my favorite breakfasts, although now I make a more wholesome version with almond milk and chopped dates.

¼ cup raisins
Salt to taste

Good but I’ll make some tweaks next time for our palates— it was a little sweet for my taste (and I used only about 3/4 c dates, measured unchopped). I’ll also cut back on the cinnamon and clove for us. It made two solid size servings for us.

So I’ll make again and I appreciate having the recipe. It’s pretty simple to pull together if one has left over rice. I’d also make it with other grains— millet, farro, etc. thanks for having this!

I’m going to make this with millet.

Can you use soy milk?

Hi Mindy,
Yes any type of unsweetened, unflavored plant-based milk would work in this recipe. Let us know what you think!

This was a delicious breakfast from my usual oatmeal. I didn’t add salt, dates or almonds., it was plenty sweet with the raisins and apples. I will definitely make it again.
