Cinnamon Roll Oatmeal

By peridot728

Ingredients

• 2 cups skim milk or milk of choice
• 1 cup rolled oats
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup
• 2 tablespoon nonfat plain Greek yogurt
• 1 teaspoon pure maple syrup
• 1 teaspoon skim milk or milk of choice

Preparation

Step 1

In a small saucepan, bring milk to a gentle boil.

Stir in oats, turn heat to low and cook until oats have absorbed liquid about 3 to 5 minutes.

Turn off heat and stir in cinnamon, vanilla, and maple syrup. Divide oatmeal into two bowls.

In a small bowl, stir together yogurt, maple syrup, and milk. Drizzle over top of oatmeal. Serve immediately.

Ingredient Variations and Substitutions:
You can use quick oats instead of rolled oats if desired.

This will cut your cooking time slightly.

This recipe works well with any milk or milk substitute. Dairy milk will provide the most protein, while sweetened plant milks will add more sugar.

Try adding other spices, like nutmeg or ginger, for variation. Honey will also work in place of maple syrup.

Cooking and Serving Tips
Be careful not to heat milk over too high of heat to prevent curdling or scorching. As soon as you add the oats, turn heat to low to prevent boiling over.

Serve oatmeal with a piece of fruit for a rounded out breakfast.
