Atole de Avena

Creamy and warm, this atole de avena is a great beverage to snuggle up with this autumn. One sip of this cinnamon-vanilla oatmeal drink will warm you from the inside out, like a chunky-knit blanket in a cup!

Instructions

  1. Grind the oats in a blender or small food processor until it reaches a thick flour consistency.
  2. In a saucepan bring the water with the cinnamon stick to a boil. Remove from heat, cover, and let steep for 30 minutes. Discard the cinnamon sticks.
  3. Optional: Add piloncillo or brown sugar and let it come to a boil uncovered until sugar dissolves.
  4. Add oats to the water and lower heat and simmer for 10 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent sticking. Add milk and vanilla and simmer for an additional 5 minutes until creamy.
  5. Serve in a mug and add more milk or water if you want it thinner. Sprinkle with ground cinnamon and if desired, sweeten to taste with brown sugar or maple syrup (this is totally optional). 

Notes

  • Nutrition does not include sugar or added garnishes.
  • When making atole de avena, you want to have oats that you can pulverize into a flour. I prefer the consistency of Quaker Old Fashioned Oats, but you can also swap in Quaker Quick 1-Minute Oats.
