Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 2 cups unsweetened almond milk (or preferred milk)
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1 tablespoon cream cheese (softened)
- 1 teaspoon milk (for glaze)
- 1 teaspoon butter (optional, for topping)
- 2 tablespoons chopped pecans or walnuts (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the rolled oats, almond milk, ground cinnamon, brown sugar, pure vanilla extract, and salt.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle boil, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 6–8 minutes, or until the oats reach your desired consistency. Stir frequently to ensure even cooking.
While the oatmeal cooks, prepare the cream cheese glaze. In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, softened cream cheese, and 1 teaspoon of milk until smooth. If needed, add a few more drops of milk to achieve a drizzling consistency.
Once the oatmeal is cooked, remove it from the heat and divide it evenly into two serving bowls.
Drizzle the cream cheese glaze over the oatmeal in a spiral pattern to resemble a cinnamon roll. Add a small dollop of butter on top, if desired.
Top with chopped pecans or walnuts for a crunchy garnish and additional flavor.
Serve warm and enjoy this cinnamon roll-inspired oatmeal as a hearty and delicious breakfast!
