Cinnamon Roll Oatmeal
If you could eat cinnamon roll oatmeal and feel super good about it, would you be a heck yes? I sure am! I love this cinnamon roll custard oatmeal because we get an extra boost of protein and fat from the added egg, and it comes with all the delicious cinnamon bun flavors. Don’t skip on the 2 ingredient frosting recipe!
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk, (here’s how to make your own)
- 1/3 cup rolled oats
- 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 1 tbsp maple syrup
- 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/8 tsp sea salt
- 1 egg
Frosting Ingredients
- 1 tbsp cream cheese
- 1/2 tbsp maple syrup
- 2 tbsp raisins, optional topping
Instructions
- In a small pot over medium heat add the milk, applesauce, maple syrup, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and sea salt. Whisk together and allow the oatmeal to cook for 4-5 minutes, or until it’s started to thicken.
- Once the oatmeal is looking almost donw cooking, add in the egg and whisk for 2-3 minutes. Your cinnamon protein oatmeal should bubble as your cook it so that the egg cooks through.
- Pour into a bowl.
- Make the frosting by whisking the cream cheese and maple syrup together until smooth. If your cream cheese isn’t at room temperature, you can warm it to make the whisking process easier.
- Drizzle frosting onto your cinnamon oatmeal and top with raisins if desired. Enjoy!
