🍽 Ingredients

📖 Instructions

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine the milk, eggnog, and brown sugar. Heat over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the mixture is warm and the sugar is completely dissolved. Don't let it boil!
  2. Once the milk mixture is warm, add the rolled oats. Reduce the heat to low and continue to stir occasionally. Cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the oats are tender but not mushy. If it gets too thick, add a splash more milk.
  3. While the oats are cooking, prepare your toppings. Wash and chop any fresh fruit. Measure out any nuts or spices you want to use. I love to use cinnamon and nutmeg around the holidays!
  4. Once the oatmeal is cooked, remove it from the heat and pour it into a serving bowl. Top it with your favorite toppings. You can totally get creative here!!
  5. If you want a little extra sweetness or creaminess, you can stir in a dollop of whipped cream or a drizzle of maple syrup once its in the bowl. Yum!
  6. Gently stir to combine the toppings with the oatmeal. Then, grab a spoon and enjoy your warm and cozy Eggnog Oatmeal Bowl!

📝 Notes

  • For a richer flavor, use full-fat milk and a high-quality eggnog.
  • Adjust the amount of brown sugar to your liking.
  • Get creative with your toppings!
  • Make it festive with a sprinkle of holiday sprinkles!
