Cookies and Cream Oatmeal

A hard to find recipe online so thought I’d create one. This recipe isn’t very sweet, but refer to the Recipe Notes for some tips on making it sweeter or a stronger Oreo taste.

This recipe can easily be altered based on the number of people, I did a ratio of 3 Oreos per person.  In my recipe notes below, I suggest doing 4 Oreos per person if you want a sweeter/stronger Oreo taste in your oatmeal.

When crushing the Oreos I used a plastic bag and a heavy knife.  Made the process much easier than a food processor, which would make of cookie crumbs instead of the crushed pieces that we wanted for this.  The Vanilla I have was purchased from Amazon, which was cheap for a non-imitation vanilla in this quantity.

Ingredients

• 6 whole Oreos
• 1 3/4 cups Milk
• 1 cup Old Fashioned Oats
• 1 tspn Vanilla Extract
• 1/2 tspns Sugar

Instructions

1. Heat the milk in a medium saucepan.

2. While that’s heating up, separate the cream filling from the Oreos, and put wafers in a small plastic bag.  Crush the wafers until the largest pieces are about 1/4" in size.

3. Once milk reaches a boil, reduce to a simmer and add in the oats, vanilla, sugar and Oreo cream filling.

4. Cook for 5 minutes or until oats are of the consistency you want.  Oatmeal will still look liquidy.

5. Let oatmeal cool and thicken off the burner for about 3 minutes.

6. Mix in crushed Oreo wafers, and serve. Garnish with half an Oreo.

Recipe Notes

• For a one person serving divide the recipe in half.
• For a sweeter taste, add an extra two Oreos and 1/2 tablespoon of sugar instead of 1 teaspoon.
