A warm and nutritious oatmeal dish that combines the delightful flavors of cinnamon rolls with creamy frosting, perfect for breakfast or brunch.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup old-fashioned oats
- 2 cups milk (any kind)
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons cream cheese
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- Chopped nuts (optional)
- Raisins or dried cranberries (optional)
Instructions
- Combine the oats and liquid: In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup of old-fashioned oats and 2 cups of milk (or your chosen liquid). Turn the heat to medium and bring it to a gentle simmer while stirring occasionally.
- Add the sweetness and spice: Once your mixture starts simmering, add in the 2 tablespoons of brown sugar, 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Keep stirring until everything is dissolved.
- Cook the oats: Reduce heat to low and cook for about 5 to 7 minutes until the oats absorb the liquid.
- Prepare the cream cheese topping: While your oats are cooking, soften 2 tablespoons of cream cheese in the microwave for about 10-15 seconds. Mix in the 1/4 cup of powdered sugar until smooth.
- Serve the oatmeal: Once your oats have reached the desired consistency, scoop them into a bowl and top generously with your cream cheese frosting.
- Add toppings: Sprinkle on chopped nuts, raisins, or a drizzle of maple syrup to elevate your Cinnamon Roll Oatmeal.

For a fun twist, try adding chocolate chips or a drizzle of melted chocolate on top!
