Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 2 cups milk or plant-based alternative
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/3 cup raisins
  • Pinch of salt

Optional Ingredients

  • 1–2 teaspoons honey or maple syrup (optional, for extra sweetness)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Measure out your rolled oats, ground cinnamon, and raisins to ensure a smooth cooking process and balanced flavors.
  2. Combine Oats and Liquid: In a saucepan, mix the rolled oats with milk (or your preferred plant-based milk) and add a pinch of salt to enhance flavor.
  3. Cook on Medium Heat: Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking and promote even cooking.
  4. Add Cinnamon and Raisins: Once the oats begin to thicken, stir in the cinnamon and raisins, allowing the raisins to plump and the cinnamon to infuse the oats.
  5. Sweeten and Serve: If desired, add a drizzle of honey or maple syrup for extra sweetness. Transfer the oats to bowls and enjoy immediately while warm and creamy.

Notes

  • Use old-fashioned rolled oats for better texture and creaminess compared to instant oats.
  • Don’t skip the pinch of salt—it helps balance sweetness and enhances the cinnamon flavor.
  • Simmer the oats slowly to prevent burning and deepen the flavors.
  • Soak raisins in warm water or tea beforehand for extra plumpness.
  • Adjust consistency by adding more milk for runnier oats or cooking longer for thicker results.
