Mexican Avena Recipe
Report
This Avena recipe is a simple and nutritious meal that can be made with just a few ingredients. The smell of rolled oats being slowly cooked with cinnamon and milk is delicious!
Share:
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups water
- 1 cinnamon stick
- 1 cup (80 g) rolled oats (whole grain)
- 1 ½ cups milk (use your favorite kind. I use oat or almond milk)
- ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 Tablespoon brown sugar optional
Optional toppings
- Fresh fruit: bananas, berries, apples
- Nuts & seeds: walnuts, pecans, pistachios, and/or cashews, chia or sunflower seeds
- extra sweetener like agave or honey.
Instructions
- In a small saucepan, bring the water and cinnamon stick to a soft boil and boil for two minutes or so until the cinnamon releases the color and flavor.
- Reduce the heat to low and pour in the oats. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the oats are soft and have absorbed most of the liquid, about 3 minutes.
- Note: stir the oats gently in order to prevent the cinnamon stick from breaking apart.
- Add the milk and optional sugar.
- Cook covered for 4 to 5 more minutes, stirring often to prevent the mixture from sticking to the pot.
- Remove the cinnamon stick, add the vanilla and mix to integrate.
- Remove from heat, cover and let stand for 2-3 minutes.
Notes
- Make Ahead Tips: You can make the oatmeal on the stovetop in advance. To reheat, simply add a splash of milk or water and microwave for 1 minute.
- For a more solid oatmeal, use 1 cup milk or less water.
- Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container. They will last about 5 days in the fridge.
