Ingredients for Amish Market Oatmeal Oamc

  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • Milk
  • Cinnamon Stick
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

How to Make Amish Market Oatmeal Oamc

  1. Combine 1 cup rolled oats, 3 cups liquid (water, soy milk, or skim milk – adjust to your preferred consistency), 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1 whole cinnamon stick in a large saucepan.
  2. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring frequently.
  3. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. Add more liquid if needed to reach desired consistency.
  4. Remove cinnamon stick before serving.
  5. Serve immediately with your favorite toppings (suggestions: dark brown sugar, cinnamon, dried cranberries, cherries, or walnuts).
  6. **To freeze (OAMC):** Allow the oatmeal to cool completely in the saucepan. It will thicken as it cools.
  7. Spray a muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray.
  8. Ladle cooled oatmeal into the muffin tin, filling each cup about ¾ full.
  9. Cover the muffin tin with plastic wrap and freeze until solid.
  10. Pop the frozen oatmeal portions out of the muffin tin and store in a freezer-safe bag.
  11. **To reheat:** Microwave a frozen portion for 1-1 ½ minutes, adding 1-2 tablespoons of extra liquid if needed. Add your favorite toppings and enjoy!

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.
