Ingredients
  

2 cups rolled oats

3 cups almond milk (or any milk of choice)

1/2 cup maple syrup (or honey)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 teaspoon baking powder

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon salt

2 large eggs

1/2 cup raisins or chopped nuts (optional)

For the Cinnamon Swirl:

2 tablespoons melted butter

1/4 cup brown sugar

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

For the Cream Cheese Drizzle:

4 ounces cream cheese, softened to room temperature

1/2 cup powdered sugar

1 tablespoon milk (add more if needed)

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper to ensure easy removal.

    Mix the Oat Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, almond milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt. Stir thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated.

      Incorporate the Eggs: In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs until they are light and frothy. Carefully add the beaten eggs to the oat mixture and mix until fully blended. If desired, gently fold in the raisins or chopped nuts to add an extra crunch.

        Create the Cinnamon Swirl: In a small bowl, mix together the melted butter, brown sugar, and ground cinnamon until you have a smooth paste. This will be your delightful cinnamon swirl.

          Assemble the Dish: Pour the oat mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish. Using a spoon, drizzle the cinnamon swirl mixture over the surface of the oatmeal. Then, take a knife or toothpick and gently swirl it through the oatmeal to create a beautiful marbled effect.

            Bake the Oatmeal: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the oatmeal has set and the edges are a lovely golden brown.

              Prepare the Cream Cheese Drizzle: While the oatmeal is baking, make your cream cheese drizzle. In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until it’s smooth and creamy. Gradually add in the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract, mixing until you achieve your desired drizzle-able consistency. If the mixture is too thick, incorporate a bit more milk.

                Serve: Once the oatmeal is baked, allow it to cool for a few minutes before serving. Drizzle the cream cheese frosting generously over the warm portions and savor each bite!

                    - Presentation Tips: Serve directly from the baking dish, or for a fancier presentation, scoop portions into bowls and sprinkle a dusting of cinnamon on top before drizzling with the cream cheese frosting. Garnish with a few extra nuts or raisins for visual appeal. Enjoy your deliciously warm cinnamon roll baked oatmeal!
