There is no need to give up oatmeal just because you can't have starch. This recipe falls between traditional oatmeal and rice pudding, and it's just plain delicious.
Almost Oatmeal
2C TVP granules
1/4 cup flax seed (optional, makes it more creamy)
1 quart milk or water
1/4 cup sugar
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon maple extract (or to taste)
Optional add-ins:
raisins
craisins
dried blueberries
chunky applesauce (our favorite, decrease the liquid by up to one cup)
Combine all ingredients in a saucepan, bring to a simmer and reduce heat to med/low. Simmer about 40 minutes, until done. Add more milk and stir more often during cooking if you prefer your "oatmeal" creamier. This can be made the night before by putting all the ingredients in the crockpot and setting it on low, though I've only used this method with water. The longer and slower it cooks the more it resembles "regular" oatmeal.
