How do you Make Cinnamon Oatmeal Better?
Cinnamon oatmeal is all well and good. But have you ever tried cinnamon oatmeal that tastes like an actual cinnamon roll?
I was skeptical at first, but it’s true! By adding a swirl of cinnamon roll filling and a swirl of cinnamon roll icing to the top of the bowl of oatmeal (instead of mixing it in), you get true bite of cinnamon roll taste with every bite.
And it is SO GOOD.
Making the cinnamon swirl and the icing for the top takes a little extra effort, but it’s totally worth it.
Is it Better to Make Oatmeal with Milk or Water?
I always use water to make oatmeal, and my husband always uses milk. Technically it’s fine either way. But here’s why I prefer water for making oatmeal:
‣ Oatmeal absorbs water more easily than milk. So the oatmeal cooks quicker in water.
‣ Since it takes longer for the milk to be absorbed by the oatmeal, the milk is exposed to direct contact with heat for a longer period of time = higher risk for burned milk.
‣ Oatmeal made with milk always turns into a goopy mess.
Pro Tip: if you like the creaminess from milk in your oatmeal, simply cook the oatmeal with a little less water than you normally do and add in milk at the end. The result will be a perfectly creamy, non-goopy texture!
