How to Make Almond Butter Cinnamon Vanilla Oatmeal

  2. Bring the mixture to a boil over high heat.
  3. Reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer for 5-7 minutes, or until the oats have reached your desired consistency, stirring occasionally.

  5. Serve immediately and enjoy! Optional: Add 1/4 cup chocolate chips for extra indulgence.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
