Ingredients

• 1 cup Rolled oats
• 1 cup Milk (or non-dairy alternative)
• 1 cup Water
• 1 pinch Salt
• 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon Unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar
• 1 tablespoon Cream cheese (softened)
• 1 teaspoon Milk (additional, for drizzle)
• 0.25 teaspoon Vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

In a medium saucepan, combine rolled oats, milk, water, and a pinch of salt. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.

Step 2

Once boiling, reduce heat to low and simmer the oatmeal for 5-7 minutes or until it reaches your desired consistency, stirring frequently.

Step 3

While the oatmeal cooks, prepare the cinnamon sugar swirl by mixing the brown sugar, cinnamon, and unsalted butter in a small bowl. Set aside.

Step 4

In a separate small bowl, make the cream cheese drizzle by whisking together powdered sugar, softened cream cheese, 1 teaspoon of milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Add a tiny splash of milk if the mixture is too thick.

Step 5

Once the oatmeal is cooked, remove it from heat and divide it equally between two bowls.

Step 6

Spoon the cinnamon sugar mixture into the center of each oatmeal serving and gently swirl it with the tip of a knife or spoon to create a marbled effect.

Step 7

Drizzle the cream cheese mixture over the top of the oatmeal for a finishing touch.

Step 8

Serve immediately while warm and enjoy your cinnamon bun-inspired breakfast!
