Description

This Cinnamon Roll Oatmeal recipe transforms simple oats into a decadent, cozy breakfast inspired by the flavors of a classic cinnamon roll. Creamy oats cooked to perfection are enhanced with cinnamon and brown sugar, then topped with a luscious cream cheese icing, creating a delightful morning treat that’s both comforting and easy to make.

Ingredients

Oatmeal

  • 1 cup old-fashioned oats
  • 2 cups water (or milk of choice)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar (or sweetener of choice)
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

Cream Cheese Icing

  • 2 tablespoons cream cheese, softened
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • 1-2 tablespoons milk (to thin the icing)

Instructions

  1. Cook the oats: In a medium saucepan, bring the water (or milk) and salt to a boil over medium heat. Stir in the oats, reduce the heat to low, and let simmer for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the oats are soft and creamy.
  2. Flavor the oatmeal: Stir in the ground cinnamon, brown sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix well and adjust sweetness if needed to suit your taste.
  3. Prepare the cream cheese icing: In a small bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and milk. Whisk the mixture until it becomes smooth and pourable, adjusting milk quantity as needed.
  4. Assemble the dish: Divide the cooked oatmeal evenly into serving bowls. Drizzle the cream cheese icing on top and use a spoon to swirl it gently, creating a cinnamon roll effect.
  5. Serve and enjoy: Serve the oatmeal warm immediately for the best comforting breakfast experience.

Notes

  • You can substitute water with any type of milk (dairy or plant-based) for creamier oatmeal.
  • Adjust the sweetness by adding more or less brown sugar according to preference.
  • The cream cheese icing can be made dairy-free by using vegan cream cheese and powdered sugar alternatives.
  • For added texture, consider topping with chopped nuts or dried fruit.
  • Leftover oatmeal can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days; reheat gently adding extra liquid if needed.
