Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1 cup milk
- 1 cup water
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons cream cheese
- 2 teaspoons powdered sugar
- 0.25 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)
- 1 teaspoon butter (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the rolled oats, milk, water, salt, and ground cinnamon. Stir to mix evenly.
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil over medium heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer, stirring occasionally, for about 5-7 minutes or until the oats have softened and reached your desired consistency.
While the oatmeal cooks, prepare the cream cheese topping. In a small microwave-safe bowl, combine the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Microwave for 10-15 seconds to soften the cream cheese further, then stir until smooth and well combined.
Once the oatmeal is cooked, remove it from the heat and stir in the brown sugar until dissolved. Adjust sweetness if desired.
Divide the oatmeal into two serving bowls. Drizzle the cream cheese mixture over the top of each bowl, swirling it lightly into the oatmeal for a marbled effect.
If desired, sprinkle the chopped pecans or walnuts on top and add a small pat of butter for extra richness.
Serve warm and enjoy your creamy, cinnamon-spiced oatmeal!
