Directions

Step 1

In a medium saucepan, combine the rolled oats, milk, and heavy cream. Stir well to prevent clumping.

Step 2

Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally to avoid sticking.

Once simmering, reduce the heat to low and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until the oats become creamy and tender.

Step 4

Stir in the brown sugar, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon. Taste and adjust sweetness as needed.

Step 5

If desired, add the butter and stir until fully melted and incorporated for an extra layer of richness.

Step 6

Remove the oatmeal from heat and let it sit for 1-2 minutes to thicken slightly.

Step 7

Divide the oatmeal between two bowls and top with fresh berries, chopped nuts, and a sprinkle of dark chocolate shavings, if using.

Step 8

Serve immediately and enjoy the decadent warmth of this luxurious oatmeal!
