Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 cup milk
- 1 cup water
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons cream cheese
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup fresh blueberries
- 1 teaspoon light brown sugar
- 0.25 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons crushed graham crackers (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the rolled oats, milk, water, and salt. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally.
Reduce the heat to low and let the oats cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until they reach a creamy consistency.
While the oatmeal cooks, in a small microwave-safe bowl, combine the cream cheese, honey, and vanilla extract. Microwave for 10-15 seconds to soften, then stir until smooth.
Once the oatmeal is cooked, remove it from the heat and stir in the brown sugar and ground cinnamon for a hint of sweetness and warmth.
Divide the cooked oatmeal evenly between two bowls.
Drizzle the cream cheese mixture over the top of each bowl of oatmeal, creating a swirl to mimic the look of a Danish pastry.
Top each bowl with fresh blueberries, distributing them evenly.
For an added touch, sprinkle 1 tablespoon of crushed graham crackers over each bowl as an optional garnish.
Serve your Blueberry Cream Cheese Danish Oatmeal warm and enjoy a breakfast that feels like dessert!
