I really like a bowl of thick sizzling oatmeal about as soon as every week or so and this cinnamon roll oatmeal is so yummy I’d simply need to have it extra usually than that. My regular oatmeal routine is with steel-cut oats (which I feel might simply be used on this recipe as nicely) however usually I simply toss on some brown sugar and possibly some walnuts or craisins. This topping combo is superb and I’m now interested by how I might presumably make simply the topping in bigger quantities to maintain within the fridge and add to my oatmeal routine!
The recipe says it serves 4 and that held true for my household of 4. For the yogurt topping, I used vanilla Greek yogurt and did embody a few drops of vanilla. The timing I discovered to be barely off because it took about quarter-hour for the oatmeal to come back to a boil earlier than cooking for 3-5 minutes. In all, the recipe took half-hour, begin to end, with a few of that point simply stirring the pot. The recipe doesn’t specify, however you positively have to stir the pot as it’s cooking or you’ll have a horrible burnt milk/oatmeal layer on the underside of the pot.
It additionally mentions to “put aside” the oatmeal when it’s completed however doesn’t specify how lengthy. As I had already made the topping and was in a rush, I didn’t let it sit, though I feel if I had it will have continued to thicken a bit because it set. So, if you happen to choose very thick oats, do let it sit a couple of minutes earlier than consuming.
For the topping, my butter took 25 seconds to soften and since our residence is comparatively cool it arrange after I integrated the brown sugar and cinnamon (and earlier than the oats had been completed). I simply broke it up with a fork and “sprinkled” it on prime, form of like a crumble topping. Every time I make oatmeal, I at all times add 1/4-1/2 tsp of salt (relying on the quantity I’m cooking) and discover it actually enhances the oats. Aside from that, all of us loved it and will certainly make it once more quickly.
