For Oats
- 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
- 3/4 - 1 cup Whole Milk
- pinch Himalayan salt
- 1 tbsp raw cane sugar
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon powder to taste
- 1 tsp vanilla bean paste
- 1 tsp salted butter optional
For Icing
- 2 tbsp powdered sugar
- 1 tsp Whole Milk
Cook your oatmeal in milk either in the microwave by combining the two in a large bowl and microwaving (uncovered) for 2½-3 min and then removing it from the microwave and covering it and letting it sit, or by bringing the milk to a simmer in a small saucepan and then adding the oats, taking the pot off the heat and leaving it covered for 2-3 minutes. With your oats softened, stir in the salt, sugar, cinnamon, vanilla and butter, while it's still warm and steaming. Cover and let sit for an additional 5 minutes.
Mix together icing sugar and cinnamon powder with a tsp of milk into a very thick icing and put into a piping bag or sandwich bag with a small corner snipped off.
Uncover the oatmeal and divide between two smaller bowls (2 portions) and pipe a spiral of icing over the top of each bowl's oatmeal. Top with an optional sprinkle of cinnamon powder.
Enjoy!
