I mixed cinnamon with oats. Coffee shop secret!

Prepare Oats: In a small saucepan, combine the oats, milk, and a pinch of salt. Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.

Add Cinnamon: Once the oats start to thicken (after about 5 minutes), sprinkle in the ground cinnamon. Stir well to evenly distribute the spice through the oats.

Sweeten It: Stir in your choice of sweetener. You can add a bit of honey, maple syrup, or brown sugar to taste. If you like it sweeter, feel free to add more.

Finish Cooking: Let the oats cook for another 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the consistency is creamy and the oats are soft.

Serve: Pour the cinnamon oats into a bowl. Top with your favorite toppings like chopped nuts, dried fruit, or a drizzle of extra honey for added flavor.

Enjoy: Enjoy your cozy, coffee-shop-inspired bowl of cinnamon oats for breakfast or as an afternoon snack!

Why It’s Special:
Cinnamon: Not only adds a warm, sweet, and slightly spicy flavor, but it also has health benefits, like anti-inflammatory properties and the ability to regulate blood sugar.
Oats: Provide fiber, protein, and a good source of energy, making it a hearty breakfast.
You can easily elevate your oatmeal game by adding cinnamon—just like they do in coffee shops! Enjoy this simple and flavorful dish.
