with whipped coconut cream, warm spices, and a cinny maple glaze.
I remember the first time I tried Auntie Anne's cinnamon sugar nuggets with sweet glaze. They were tiny, warm, soft bread bites, rolled in sweet sugar with vanilla icing to dip them in. It's safe to say the entire baggie was devoured within minutes.
This cozy bowl of porridge is my take on that favorite childhood treat. The coconut yogurt mimics the sweetened cream cheese icing and the cinny maple swirl uses agave as a natural sweetener. With one spoonful, you get all the flavors of a cinnamon roll in a single bite. You can have it as is, or add caramelized apples and walnuts to your porridge. I hope this breakfast brings you as much happiness as it does us.
"Start your morning off right with this decadent porridge."

Cinnabon Porridge
Ingredients:
• 40g oats
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 3/4 - 1 c unsweet vanilla almond milk
• 1 tbsp maple syrup or agave or stevia
• 20g cinni buns protein powder*
• 1/2 tsp cinnamon
• 1/4 tsp cardamom
• Pinch salt
• 70g coconut yogurt, for topping
• Apples, walnuts *optional
Cinny Maple Swirl:
• 1 tbsp PBfit or nut buter
• 1 tbsp maple syrup or agave
• 1/2 tsp cinnamon, pinch salt
(Serves 1)
Method:
1. In a saucepan or microwave safe bowl, combine the oats, salt, cinnamon, cardamom, vanilla, sweetener of choice and almond milk. Simmer on medium heat, stirring often, until most of the milk is absorbed. If adding protein powder*, gently stir it in now. If your porridge is too thick, add extra milk to desired consistency.
*If microwaving, I advise not adding the protein powder until the end. Cook about 1-1:30.
2. Mix the cinny maple glaze ingredients in a ramekin until smooth. You may need to add a pinch of water or milk to thin.
3. Remove porridge from heat and pour into a bowl. Top with coconut yogurt and the cinny maple glaze. You can add caramelized apples and chopped walnuts, or anything else you like! Enjoy :)
*Use your favorite protein powder! If you don't have cinni buns, you can use an alternate protein powder, or substitute with yogurt.
*Use any sweetener of choice- erythritol, coconut sugar, honey, white sugar, etc.
*Prefer overnight oats? This is great if you’d like to prep your breakfast in advance.
Just use half the amount of milk. Add all your ingredients into a mason jar, close, and shake shake shake. Top with yogurt and glaze. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight. When ready to eat, add toppings and maybe an extra splash of milk.
*Slow cooker version? For 4 servings– 3 cups water, 3 cups milk, 2 cups oats, 1/4 cup sweetener of choice, 2 tbsp cinnamon, 1 tbsp cardamon, 2 tsp vanilla, 2 pinches salt.
Place the ingredients in a slow cooker and cover. Cook on low for 8 hours. Turn off heat and stir through the protein powder. Add toppings, as you like.
