Cinnamon Roll Growing Oatmeal + More Healthy Oatmeal Recipes
Dec

2018
Recently, we made an amazing discovery in the Hungryland test kitchen: Adding light cream cheese to oatmeal makes it extra rich and creamy! For this recipe, we took inspiration from gooey cinnamon buns, and the results are just as delicious as you might imagine. P.S. “Growing” oatmeal is what happens when you cook oats with double the liquid as standard oatmeal and simmer them for twice as long… You get a GINORMOUS serving!
