This slow-cooked winter comfort dessert is a healthier option for your family that doesn't sacrifice flavor. If you can't find turbinado or raw sugar, you can use brown sugar, adjusting to 3/4 cup. This can also be made in the oven. —Teri Rasey, Cadillac, Michigan


Test Kitchen tips
  • Try different flavors inspired by food from other countries. For a taste of India, try a sprinkle of cardamom with golden raisins; for Thailand, cook it first, then stir in fresh mint and fruit like mangoes and kiwis.
  • Give it some crunch by topping with slivered almonds, chopped walnuts or hazelnuts.
  • For the ultimate winter morning comfort food, let the pudding cook overnight, then top with fresh bananas right before eating.
