After the How to Start Intermittent Fasting post and The Diet to End all Diets post, there was a lot of interest in my oatmeal volcanoes and protein pudding. So I ventured into video land and played Emeril Lagasse for a few days. Enjoy!
No, seriously. Make both and enjoy them.
Just don’t fall in love too quickly and eat too many volcanoes in one day. (Like I did on Tuesday.)
Share to all oatmeal lovers, please. You owe it to them.
Oh, and if you can’t spare the twenty minutes to watch both of the videos then you really don’t want to make and or eat either anyway. Your choice. But if you’re ADD here is the shorts:
Volcano:
Oats – water – soak – paste consistency – 70% heat – solid – 85% heat – crust – fin
Pudding:
3 tbsp water – (3) 70cc scoop unflavored protein – nutmeg – cinnamon – cocoa – mix
Feeling daring?
Add:
cottage cheese OR sour cream - banana - nuts
This looks awesome! But say I get about 150 g of protein a day. The pudding alone would make about 70 g of protein which feels like way too much to be getting from just whey. Or is this is a silly fear? In any case it can always be scaled down I suppose.
That is admittedly one of the downsides. You can always make it two scoops, throw in a banana and some nuts or whatever to give it some bulk. I wouldn’t say it’s too much from whey. In fact, whey is the cheapest source of protein so it seems like a “waste” but it’s not overly cost intensive.
I’d love to try these. Any chance that you could provide some written instructions/recipe as well as the videos?
Chuck, appreciate your interest. You can flip to the goodies on the first and second video. Should take about 15 minutes. Apologies for them being kind of long. But that’s the extent of my video skillz.
When eating the volcano, do you mix take a spoonful of oats and combine dip in the pudding? Or do you mix it? What is your plan of attack?
I usually dip into the lava. Always leaving copious amounts left for my last bite.
Anthony, that looks really good. I can’t wait to tackle this in kitchen (aka The Lab). Using the flax seeds would give it a nice toasty flavor, perfect.

Yeah, flax goes well!
Hi Anthony…great vid…a tad bit long, but totally worth watching…a pity that my high carb day is tom…
Btw, there is a little mixup in your hyperlinks at the top of the page. Clicking on the “diet to end all…..” takes me to the “how to start intermittent…” page
Cheers
Thanks Rajat. Fixed that.
Great, thanks for posting this! I have to buy some oats, and some nutmeg…
Nutmeg is optional. But good nonetheless.
“this is baby making time right here” hahaha.i laughed throughout the videos.looks awesome man.dont worry to much about your shadow or the camera :p true,every oatmeal lover should really see this!
Appreciate it broseph.
The protein pudding is making sweet love to my mouth right now.
Thanks for the tip.
Make children.
My first oatmeal volcano was a failure
…I got the water wrong. Initially I put too much water in the soaking period. And later, I left it on the stove too long, and it got burnt…threw away the whole batch.
…An alternate recipe for anyone who cares is making a pudding with: organic dark honey, cinnamon, a teeny amount of star anise, vanilla essence and 1 spoon instant coffee along with chocolate whey…#win. The original one by Anthony is awesome too.
Persistence always rewards…barely 20 min after this fiasco (took that much time to watch the video again and take notes), I prepared another batch of oats, more carefully this time. I got a decent volcano, that I later wolfed down with a lot of satisfaction.
The best thing was the protein pudding (I could not resist making two batches- one slurped by itself, other with the volcano). I made the perfect pudding
Happens to us all. Tried to warn you though! Be diligent with the water!
Your pudding is more adventurous no doubt. And the more sweet stuff you add, the more orgasmic it is.
You did your best. In retrospect, the video has it 100% covered. However, I was salivating too much to notice the details the first time
Its good to learn cooking by making horrible mistakes…it leaves an indelible mark on your brain, and you do not get it wrong again
Hah, yes it does.
I’ll have to try the protein pudding. I’ve got the Chocolate-Supreme-flavored protein from Optimum Nutrition. Have you ever noticed that casein protein is much thicker than whey? Food for thought, I guess.
Great choice with cinnamon, by the way. I’ve been using it to sweeten everything.
Never owned casein!
