Cozy up to a bowl of comfort with maple brown sugar oatmeal! Each spoonful bursts with creamy sweetness—a perfect way to start the day.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups water
  • 1 cup Old Fashioned rolled oats
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more if desired
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup
  • 1/2 teaspoon maple extract (optional but recommended)

Instructions

  1. Bring the water to a boil in a large saucepan. Stir in the oats, salt, and cinnamon. Reduce the heat to medium. Cook for about 6 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until creamy and the liquid is mostly absorbed. 
  2. Remove from the heat and let stand for 2 minutes, which allows more liquid to be absorbed (or you can spoon into bowls and then rest). Stir in the maple, brown sugar, and maple extract. Taste and add more sugar, maple, or extract to taste, or drizzle with maple syrup before serving.
  3. Storage info: You can make maple brown sugar oatmeal in advance and refrigerate up to 4 to 6 days. Reheat in the microwave or stovetop with a splash of water or milk, then add additional seasonings to taste and toppings.
