Cinnamon Roll Oatmeal THM (E) Breakfast


 One of my favorite recipes pre-THM was Cinnamon Roll Oatmeal. This oatmeal was cooked in milk, so it was super creamy, was laced with the perfect brown sugar cinnamon mix and was topped with a creamy icing. It probably had as much sugar as three donuts! I’ve been craving a breakfast similar to my old standby, so I decided to create a healthier version of this oatmeal with a protein filled glaze and plenty of cinnamon flavor. Did I mention this recipe is an E? This recipe makes a single bowl of oatmeal but is sure to be a crowd-pleaser if you multiply it. 
Mix 1/2 C. of rolled oats with 1 C. of almond milk in a small saucepan. Let this cook over low-medium heat until the oats are cooked to your liking. When your oats are done, stir in 1/8 t. molasses, sweetener to taste (I used 3 T. Truvia), 2 t. cinnamon and a dash of salt.  Let the oatmeal cool while you create your “icing”. 




To make the icing, mix 1 T. protein powder with 2 T. Greek Yogurt, 1/4 t. butter or caramel flavoring, and sweetener to taste. I wanted my topping super sweet, so I used 1 1/2 T. Truvia. If this glaze mixture is too thick, you can add 1/2 T. almond milk. Drizzle the glaze over the oatmeal and garnish with a sprinkle of cinnamon!

This oatmeal is the perfect E breakfast paired with some berries or a small wedge of cantaloupe. The greek yogurt and protein powder provide the perfect amount of protein to start your day!



 Recipe:

1/2 C. Rolled Oats
1 C. Almond Milk
3 T. Truvia
1/8 t. Molasses
2 t. Cinnamon
Dash of salt
2 T. Greek Yogurt
1 T. Protein Powder
1/4 t. Butter Extract
1 1/2 T. Truvia

Mix the oats and almond milk together and cook over medium-high until done. Stir in Truvia, cinnamon, molasses, and salt. Combine greek yogurt, protein powder, extract and Truvia in a small bowl. Add a dash of almond milk if too thick. Drizzle over the oatmeal. Enjoy!

  4. Hi, Michelle!
    I used artificial flavoring. 🙂
    I haven't seen a flavoring made with regular butter. If you're more of a purist, you technically are able to use 1 teaspoon of butter and keep this in "E" mode.

  10. This was good! Our 3-year-old enjoyed it, too. I subbed fat free cream cheese for the protein powder, soaked the oats overnight, added 1T chia seeds.

    1. Can you make this into overnight oatmeal – I am assuming do the same thing but instead of cooking it just add all ingredients and make the frosting in the morning? I’m new to this oatmeal thing?

  21. I made this and it was good! I will probably put 1/2 the cinnamon in next time! It almost made it bitter.

  22. Thank you so much for this recipe. I have the hardest time finding E things that I like. I can’t wait to make this for my kids, it was delicious!
