Creamy Brown Sugar Oatmeal


  • Author: mark-bennett
  • Total Time: 15 minutes
  • Yield: 2 servings 1x

Description

A warm and comforting bowl of creamy brown sugar oatmeal, perfect for starting your day off right.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 2 cups milk (or a non-dairy alternative like almond, soy, or oat milk)
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
  • Fresh fruits (e.g., bananas, berries) for topping
  • Nuts or seeds for added texture
  • A splash of maple syrup (if desired)

Instructions

  1. Combine the rolled oats, milk, and salt in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Stir together and bring to a gentle simmer.
  2. Reduce the heat to low as it starts bubbling. Stir occasionally to ensure the oats don’t stick to the pan, cooking for about 5 minutes until tender.
  3. Add the brown sugar, vanilla extract, and cinnamon (if using). Stir thoroughly until creamy.
  4. Remove from heat when the desired consistency is reached and let sit for a minute or two.
  5. Serve hot in wide bowls, topping with fresh fruits, nuts or seeds, and a drizzle of maple syrup if desired.

Notes

For a healthier option, swap brown sugar for mashed bananas or a natural sweetener. Ensure to store leftovers properly and reheat with a splash of milk for creaminess.
