    Don't know what's got into me lately. I am obsessed with cinnamon. Must be the Autumn and this Autumn mood - chilly foggy mornings, the smell of wet fallen leaves in the park, dark that comes way to early in the evening. And the sweet cinnamon aroma is the perfect addition to that mood. So I'm seizing the opportunity to use cinnamon in my daily cooking and baking whenever I can.   

    My boys don't really complain. They love the smell of cinnamon around the house too. They love my sweet Cinnamon Oatmeal Cookies, freshly baked, straight from the oven. I, on another hand, enjoy more the sweet cinnamon-spiced breakfast. And lately, I fancy sweet, creamy, and warm porridge. So this Cinnamon Roll Oatmeal porridge... it didn't take me long to figure it out. It was a straight forward solution to my cinnamon craving and breakfast needs.

    It combines everything I love about breakfast. It's packed with all essential nutrients body needs in the morning - fibers good for digestion and heart health, proteins, and healthy fats for energy. It's also loaded with seasonal flavors and has just the right amount of sweetness. + SUPERFOODS bursting with antioxidants.

    This Cinnamon Roll Oatmeal actually tastes just like freshly baked cinnamon rolls. And if THAT does not get you out of bed in the morning, I don't know what will. It's utterly delicious, healthy, and easy to make breakfast solution that feels just like having the dessert in the morning.

    Cinnamon Roll Oatmeal ingredients

    This Cinnamon Roll Oatmeal breakfast is a super simple meal. It only calls for a few simple ingredients you probably have in your house already. 

    • OATS: Hearty, healthy, and filling, oats are stapled food in my pantry. It's one of my favorite grain. They are a great choice for breakfast since they are an excellent source of fiber, especially beta-glucan that is known for its power to lower cholesterol and therefore keep your heart healthy (1). Also, oats are high in vitamins, minerals, and some powerful antioxidants. + Proteins. YES, proteins!! They are nutritious and so versatile. When making oatmeal porridge, I love to use quick oats because they give a more soft creamy texture. But in this recipe, you can substitute them with rolled oats if you prefer a more chewy texture.  
    • CEYLON CINNAMON: Ceylon cinnamon, also known as “true” cinnamon, is a highly delicious spice with many health benefits. Cinnamon is loaded with powerful antioxidants with anti-inflammatory properties. (2, 3) Cinnamon gave this baked oatmeal a truly wonderful flavor.
    • HEMP SEEDS: Hemp seeds are loaded with healthy fats. They are exceptionally rich in two essential fatty acids, omega-6 and omega-3 but also a great source of high-quality proteins. (4) Hemps seeds enriched this Cinnamon Roll Oatmeal with nutrients and made it more filling and super healthy.
    • SWEETENER: To sweeten this Cinnamon Roll Oatmeal I used maple syrup. Although date syrup or honey is a great option too. 

    Other pantry ingredients you’ll need:

      • Milk
      • Vanilla extract
      • Salt
      • Sultanas

    How to make Cinnamon Roll Oatmeal 

    • Prepare and measure all ingredients using measuring cups.
    • In a saucepan, bring 1 cup milk to a boil. Stir in ½ cup quick oats and pinch of salt. Cook over medium heat until thickened, about 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally using the whisk.
    • Remove from heat and whisk in 1 tablespoon hemp seeds, 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey, and 2 teaspoon Ceylon cinnamon.
    • Stir in ⅓ cup sultanas or raisins.
    • Pour oatmeal in a serving bowl.
    • To make the topping: In a small bowl, combine 1 tablespoon maple syrup and 1 teaspoon Ceylon cinnamon. Mix it until you get the sticky texture.
    • Drizzle the maple syrup mixture and the yogurt over the oatmeal.
    • Serve warm.

    Substitutions

    • I like to use QUICK OATS here, but you can substitute quick oats with rolled oats. Rolled oats will give denser texture while quick oats will result in more creamy texture.
    • You can substitute MAPLE SYRUP with honey or date syrup. Make sure honey is not raw but in liquid, runny form. 
    • Substitute HEMP SEEDS with ground flex seeds or chia seeds.
    • Substitute SULTANAS with raisins or chopped dates.
    • Make it vegan: Use plant-based milk and yogurt. 
    • Make it gluten-free: Use certified gluten-free oats.
