Starch Free Fauxtmeal

This recipe is totally cool, mostly because it's not a recipe. But it has a great photo, so there's that, at least.




Fauxtmeal (faux-t-meal)
TVP (plain, non-flavored)
Milk (whatever kind floats your boat)
sugar (or stevia or agave or whatever you like)**
cinnamon or other spices
fruit, perhaps, or raisins, or anything else you can think of**


Combine equal parts TVP and milk. Add sugar and spice(s) and fruit to taste... all of this is completely optional. Add whatever you like!!! Place the whole lot in a cake pan or a pie plate or a 9x13 pan or any pan that you like. The only important part is that your mixture should be somewhere around an inch thick.

Bake at 350° for about 30 minutes, or until done. Add extra liquid when serving if you prefer your oatmeal to have that "soupy" quality.

That's it, and that is a non-recipe recipe if I ever saw one! Oh, and it's starch free.

*remember, honey has maltose, so don't use that if you're maltose-intolerant
** don't be silly and add potatoes or taro with your raisins, 'cause then it's not starch-free anymore

After I posted this recipe, it occurred to me that some people might not know what TVP is. For this recipe, it's important to get the Plain variety, because it can come in different flavors, and I don't imagine that chicken- or beef-flavored oatmeal would be very tasty. I get mine in the bulk bins of my local WholeFoodMart, but Bob's Red Mill sells it in ~1lb packages.

Here is a linky to Bob's TVP on their website:
