Chai-Spiced Oatmeal

(4)

This chai-spiced oatmeal is perfectly spiced and just the right creamy consistency. Top this cozy oatmeal with your favorite chopped fresh fruit like mango, or serve it with dried fruit like golden raisins. For some extra crunch, top it with chopped pistachios or cashews and a dollop of yogurt to make it extra creamy.

Ingredients

  • 3 ½ cups whole milk, divided

  • 2 cups water

  • ¼ teaspoon salt

  • 2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats

  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

  • ½ teaspoon ground ginger

  • ½ teaspoon ground cardamom

  • 4 teaspoons dark brown sugar

Directions

  1. Combine 3 cups milk, 2 cups water and salt in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil, uncovered, over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally. Add oats; reduce heat to medium. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is creamy and thick enough to coat the back of a spoon, 8 to 10 minutes.

  2. Stir in cinnamon, ginger and cardamom until fully combined, about 30 seconds. Remove from heat; cover and let stand, undisturbed, until most of the liquid is absorbed, about 3 minutes. Divide among 4 bowls; top with brown sugar and the remaining 1/2 cup milk. Serve warm.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
