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
- Combine the rolled oats, milk, and salt in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Stir together and bring to a gentle simmer.
- 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.
- Add the brown sugar, vanilla extract, and cinnamon (if using). Stir thoroughly until creamy.
- Remove from heat when the desired consistency is reached and let sit for a minute or two.
- 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.
