Print Recipe

This brown sugar cinnamon oatmeal is a warm and cozy breakfast option that’s quick to prepare and full of comforting flavor.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup water or 1/2 cup water and 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup large flake rolled oats
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons brown sugar, plus more if desired
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Bring water or a water and milk mix to a boil in a small saucepan over medium-high heat.
  2. Stir in rolled oats, cinnamon, brown sugar, and salt. Reduce heat to medium-low.
  3. Let the mixture simmer, stirring occasionally, until the oats are tender and the texture thickens to your liking, about 5 minutes.
  4. Take the pan off the heat, cover with a lid, and let it sit for 2 minutes to absorb any remaining liquid.
  5. Spoon into a bowl, add any extra toppings or sweeteners you like, and enjoy.
  6. For microwave method: Combine all ingredients in a large microwave-safe bowl. Heat on high for 1 minute and 30 seconds. Stir and heat for another 45 seconds.
  7. Let the oatmeal rest for 1 minute, stir again, and serve warm.

Notes

  • Use certified gluten-free oats if needed.
  • Dark brown sugar gives a deeper flavor, but light brown or other sweeteners work too.
  • Steel-cut oats can be used by substituting 1/4 cup and cooking for 20–25 minutes.
  • Quick oats can replace rolled oats; use 1/2 cup oats and 3/4 cup water. Cook for 3–4 minutes.
  • Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
  • Reheat with a splash of milk or water to loosen the texture.
