Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Rolled oats
- 1 cup Milk (or non-dairy alternative)
- 1 cup Water
- 1 pinch Salt
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar
- 1 tablespoon Cream cheese (softened)
- 1 teaspoon Milk (additional, for drizzle)
- 0.25 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine rolled oats, milk, water, and a pinch of salt. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
Once boiling, reduce heat to low and simmer the oatmeal for 5-7 minutes or until it reaches your desired consistency, stirring frequently.
While the oatmeal cooks, prepare the cinnamon sugar swirl by mixing the brown sugar, cinnamon, and unsalted butter in a small bowl. Set aside.
In a separate small bowl, make the cream cheese drizzle by whisking together powdered sugar, softened cream cheese, 1 teaspoon of milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Add a tiny splash of milk if the mixture is too thick.
Once the oatmeal is cooked, remove it from heat and divide it equally between two bowls.
Spoon the cinnamon sugar mixture into the center of each oatmeal serving and gently swirl it with the tip of a knife or spoon to create a marbled effect.
Drizzle the cream cheese mixture over the top of the oatmeal for a finishing touch.
Serve immediately while warm and enjoy your cinnamon bun-inspired breakfast!
