High Protein Cinnamon Roll Oatmeal

Flavored with cinnamon, vanilla, maple syrup and a Greek-style yogurt “frosting,” this cinnamon-roll oatmeal is a winning breakfast worth waking up for. Oats offer lots of filling fiber to help keep you full and your heart healthy. Add toasted chopped walnuts if you want a little extra crunch.

Ingredients

2 cups nonfat milk
1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
4 teaspoons pure maple syrup, divided
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
pinch of salt
2 tablespoons nonfat plain strained (greek-style) yogurt

Directions

Place 2 cups milk in a medium saucepan; bring to a gentle boil over medium heat. Stir in 1 cup oats; reduce heat to maintain a gentle simmer and cook, stirring frequently, until the oats have softened and thickened, 7 to 9 minutes. Remove from heat.
Add 3 teaspoons maple syrup, 1 teaspoon each cinnamon and vanilla and a pinch of salt to the oats. Divide the oatmeal between 2 bowls.
Stir 2 tablespoons yogurt and the remaining 1 teaspoon maple syrup together in a small bowl. Drizzle over the top of the oatmeal.
