Ingredients

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

Instructions

  • 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!

Notes

  • Feel free to adjust the ratio to make the oatmeal to the consistency you enjoy whether that's a bit thicker or a bit thinner. 
  • To make this recipe dairy free: use your favorite dairy free milk.
  • To make this recipe vegan-friendly: use your favorite dairy-free milk and omit the use of the butter or substitute it with your favorite alternative.
  • You can add extra cinnamon powder to your oatmeal's frosting for an even bigger cinnamon flavor!
