Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1.5 cups milk (or plant-based milk)
- 0.25 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon butter (optional)
- 0.5 cup fresh berries (e.g., blueberries, raspberries)
- 2 tablespoons chopped nuts (e.g., almonds, pecans)
- 1 tablespoon dark chocolate shavings (optional)
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the rolled oats, milk, and heavy cream. Stir well to prevent clumping.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally to avoid sticking.
Once simmering, reduce the heat to low and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until the oats become creamy and tender.
Stir in the brown sugar, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon. Taste and adjust sweetness as needed.
If desired, add the butter and stir until fully melted and incorporated for an extra layer of richness.
Remove the oatmeal from heat and let it sit for 1-2 minutes to thicken slightly.
Divide the oatmeal between two bowls and top with fresh berries, chopped nuts, and a sprinkle of dark chocolate shavings, if using.
Serve immediately and enjoy the decadent warmth of this luxurious oatmeal!
