High-Protein Cinnamon-Roll Oatmeal Is A Cozy Breakfast Idea

Yield: 2 servings

Flavored with cinnamon, vanilla, maple syrup and a Greek-style yogurt “frosting,” this cinnamon-roll oatmeal is a winning breakfast worth waking up for. Add toasted chopped walnuts if you want a little extra crunch.
Oats offer lots of filling fiber to help keep you full and your heart healthy.

Time: 15 minutes


Ingredients:

  • 2 cups nonfat milk

  • 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats

  • 4 teaspoons pure maple syrup, divided

  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • Pinch of salt

  • 2 tablespoons nonfat plain strained yogurt (Greek-style) yogurt


Instructions:

  1. Place 2 cups milk in a medium saucepan; bring to a gentle boil over medium heat. Stir in 1 cup oats; reduce heat to maintain a gentle simmer and cook, stirring frequently, until the oats have softened and thickened, 7 to 9 minutes. Remove from heat.

  2. Add 3 teaspoons maple syrup, 1 teaspoon each cinnamon and vanilla and a pinch of salt to the oats. Divide the oatmeal between 2 bowls.

  3. Stir 2 tablespoons yogurt and the remaining 1 teaspoon maple syrup together in a small bowl. Drizzle over the top of the oatmeal.
