Prep Time: 5 mins
Cook Time: 10 mins
Total Time: 15 mins
Cuisine: Breakfast
Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 2 cups milk
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- Fresh fruit for topping
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup of rolled oats and 2 cups of milk. Stir well to ensure the oats are evenly distributed in the liquid.
- Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally to prevent the oats from sticking to the bottom.
- Once the mixture begins to simmer, reduce the heat to low. Allow the oats to cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently until the oats are soft and have absorbed most of the milk.
- Add 2 tablespoons of honey and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon to the saucepan. Stir well to combine all the ingredients, allowing the honey to dissolve completely into the mixture.
- Continue cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until the oatmeal reaches your desired consistency. If you prefer a creamier texture, you can add a bit more milk at this stage.
- Once cooked, remove the saucepan from the heat and let it sit for a minute to thicken slightly.
- Divide the oatmeal into two bowls. Top each serving with fresh fruit of your choice, such as sliced bananas, berries, or diced apples, for added flavor and nutrition.
- Serve immediately while warm, and enjoy your delicious Avena con Leche as a hearty breakfast!
Tips
- Choose Your Oats Wisely: For the best texture, use rolled oats instead of instant oats, as they cook up creamier and retain a hearty bite.
- Experiment with Milk: While traditional cow's milk works wonders, feel free to substitute with almond, oat, or coconut milk for a dairy-free version that still tastes amazing.
- Customize Your Sweetness: Adjust the amount of honey to suit your taste. You can also try maple syrup or agave nectar for a different flavor profile.
- Add Extra Flavor: Don’t hesitate to mix in other spices like nutmeg or vanilla extract for a unique twist on the classic cinnamon flavor.
- Make it a Meal: Boost the nutritional value by adding nuts or seeds, such as almonds or chia seeds, for added crunch and healthy fats.
- Prep Ahead: If you're short on time in the mornings, prepare the oats the night before and simply reheat them in the morning for a quick breakfast option.
- Serve with Style: Top your oatmeal with a colorful array of fresh fruits like berries, bananas, or apples, and a sprinkle of nuts for a beautiful presentation that’s as appealing as it is delicious.
