Instructions

  1. Stir the oats into 200 ml of cold milk to dilute them without lumps.
  2. In a saucepan, bring the rest of the milk with the cinnamon stick and the pinch of salt to a simmer.
  3. Remove the cinnamon, pour in the oat mixture in a thin stream while whisking, then add the sugar.
  4. Cook over low heat for 10 minutes, stirring often, until creamy and coating the spoon.
  5. Off the heat, stir in the vanilla and nutmeg, then serve piping hot in bowls.

Variations and tips

Condensed milk version. Add 2 tablespoons of sweetened condensed milk at the end of cooking for a richer, sweeter flavor.

Lactose-free. Replace the milk with unsweetened oat or soy milk and adjust the sugar.
