Atole De Avena (Mexican Oatmeal Drink)
Description
This recipe for Atole De Avena combines ground oats with almond milk, brown sugar, cinnamon stick, and vanilla extract. The oats are first processed into a flour-like texture, ensuring a smooth drink without gritty bits. The mixture is gently brought to a soft boil and then simmered for 10 minutes while stirring regularly to prevent boiling over. The result is a warm, creamy, cinnamon-spiced beverage with a lightly sweet flavor from the brown sugar or piloncillo if used.
The texture is reminiscent of a thin pudding or porridge, warm and comforting. It's best enjoyed hot, poured into mugs, making it a pleasant option for cooler weather or as a soothing drink with breakfast or snack time.
If the drink thickens too much, adding extra almond milk can adjust the consistency to your preference. The cinnamon stick also imparts a warm spice aroma while simmering, which enhances the drink's character.
Ingredients
- ½ cup rolled oats or oat flour, ground
- 3 cups almond milk unsweetened
- 1 cinnamon stick

Instructions

Notes
