How to Make Butterscotch Oatmeal

  1. In a heavy-bottomed saucepan or a large microwave-safe bowl, whisk together 1 large egg, 1 cup milk (any kind), 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon.
  2. Stir in 1 cup rolled oats.
  3. **Stovetop:** Bring to a simmer over medium heat. **Microwave:** Microwave on high for 3-4 minutes, stir, then microwave in 1-minute intervals, stirring until thickened (total time will vary depending on your microwave).
  4. **Stovetop:** Once the oats begin to boil, reduce heat to low and cook, stirring frequently with a wooden spoon, until thickened (about 5-7 minutes). **Microwave:** Continue until the oats are cooked through and creamy.
  5. Remove from heat (or microwave) and stir in 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter until melted and incorporated.
  6. Divide into bowls and top with a dollop of 18% cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon sugar (mix 1 tablespoon sugar with 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon).
  7. Enjoy immediately! This delicious oatmeal is perfect for breakfast, brunch, or a comforting dessert.
