Once you’ve achieved that lovely boil, it’s time for the star of the show—1 cup of old-fashioned rolled oats! Stir those in with a flourish and reduce the heat just a tad to maintain a gentle simmer.

Once the oats have reached the desired consistency, remove the pan from the heat and get ready to add the magic ingredients. Toss in 3 teaspoons of pure maple syrup, 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and, of course, a pinch of salt. Give it a good stir, and watch as the aroma fills the air, making your kitchen smell like a warm bakery on a Sunday morning!
Now that we’ve got our base looking so divine, it’s time to dish them up! Spoon that gorgeous oatmeal into two bowls and prepare for the grand finale! In a little bowl, mix together 2 tablespoons of nonfat plain Greek yogurt with the remaining 1 teaspoon of maple syrup. This is your frosting, and let me tell you, it’s the cherry on top!

Drizzle that luscious Greek yogurt frosting over the oats like you’re a famous pastry chef showcasing your masterpiece. If you’re feeling fancy—or just really hungry—don’t hold back!
