Ingredients

2 cup milk (either cow's milk or soy/oat milk)
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
1 cup large flake oats (can use old fashioned oats, but must cook longer)

TOPPINGS

1/2 tbsp melted unsalted butter (I use Becel unsalted vegan butter)
1 tbsp light brown sugar
1.5 tsp cinnamon powder
1 tsp water

GLAZE

2 tbsp cream cheese (I use vegan cream cheese for vegan option)
1 tbsp milk (either cow's milk or soy/oat milk)
1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
1 1/2 tbsp confectioners’ sugar (icing sugar)

Instructions

1
In a large saucepan add milk, vanilla and oats and bring to a boil over medium heat. Once boiling, reduce to low heat and continue to cook, stirring often until oatmeal begins to thicken. (For large flake oats- ~4-6 mins. For quick oats and steel- cut oats cook according to oat package instructions.)
2
While oatmeal is cooking, for topping: In a small bowl mix melted butter, brown sugar, water and cinnamon powder until well combined.
3
For glaze: microwave cream cheese in a small bowl for 10 seconds or until just melted. Stir in confectioners’ sugar, milk and vanilla until creamy.
4
Remove oatmeal from heat and split into two bowls. Top with topping and glaze as desired. May also top with roasted pecans.
