My cinnamon roll oatmeal is thick, creamy, and secretly healthy. It's packed with protein and fiber and can be enjoyed hot or cold.

Servings:

Prep: 2 minutes mins

Cook: 5 minutes mins

Total: 7 minutes mins

Ingredients  

For the oatmeal

• ▢ 1/2 cup rolled oats gluten free, if needed
• ▢ 1/4 teaspoon salt
• ▢ 2 tablespoon granulated sweetener of choice * See notes
• ▢ 1/2 tablespoon Cinnamon
• ▢ 1 cup milk I used unsweetened almond milk
• ▢ 1-2 tablespoon cream cheese dairy free, if needed

Instructions 

• In a saucepan or microwave-safe bowl, combine the rolled oats, salt, cinnamon, sweetener of choice, and milk of choice and simmer on medium until most of the liquid is absorbed. If adding protein powder, stir it through.

• Remove from heat and pour into a bowl. Stir through the cream cheese and top with extra cinnamon

Notes

* Use any sweetener of choice- allulose, coconut sugar, white sugar, etc.  TO STORE: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 2-3 days.  TO REHEAT: Reheat oats with a splash of milk in the microwave for 45 seconds or on the stovetop, simmering over medium-low heat until warm. Variations Overnight oats. Combine all of the ingredients (you will only need half the amount of milk) in a shallow container. Refrigerate for 2 hours or overnight.  Make it vegan. Use dairy-free milk and vegan cream cheese.  Make a glaze. Rather than stirring in the cream cheese, I sometimes mix it with a drizzle of maple syrup to form a thin glaze and pour it on top right before serving.

This is such an amazing recipe!! I made it for breakfast this morning using 1 cup of a cake batter protein shake in place of the milk. It increased the calories by about 100, but it also bumped up the protein to 29g. Using the cake batter shake also definitely gave it the dough taste one would expect from a cinnamon. This one is definitely going into my regular breakfast rotation!

I ended up making a double batch. Not sure if the 1/2 tbsp of cinnamon was meant to be a 1/2 tsp but mine was WAY too much cinnamon – and I’m a cinnamon lover. Made a second plain batch and mixed them up and it was much better 😅

Great recipe. I used almond milk with a touch of honey and left out the sweetener. Also agree that the recipe likely should be a 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon. I too love cinnamon but a half teaspoon is too overwhelming. I made a plain batch per the suggestion of the other comment and it was much better. And now I have breakfast for tomorrow!

Did your recipe change? I made it before and came back to make it again and it looks different.
