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

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. If the oats are too thick, add a little extra milk to thin it out.
- 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.
Microwave oats: If cooking the oatmeal in the microwave, use 75% power to better mimic a gentle stovetop simmer and keep the texture creamy.
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.
