Homemade maple cinnamon oatmeal is a hearty, warming, and filling breakfast that is naturally sweetened with maple syrup. This quick and simple breakfast is sure to be one of your go-to recipes.

A bowl of homemade maple cinnamon oatmeal sits on a countertop with a spoon.

I’ve always really loved instant oatmeal packs that you can buy in the store…but I didn’t love all of the extra ingredients that came along in those instant oatmeal packs. So I set off to create a delicious oatmeal that would be quick and easy, homemade, and still delicious.

One of our favorite recipes is homemade maple cinnamon oatmeal. Made with rich whole milk from our family milk cow, the warmth from cinnamon, and the sweetness from maple syrup made from our small batch maple syrup operation, this recipe is a simple homestead breakfast.

This easy breakfast comes together with a handful of ingredients, is naturally sweetened with maple syrup, and is a warm and hearty start to any morning.

Cinnamon: Cinnamon adds warmth and flavor to the oatmeal
Milk: We use whole milk for ours, often from our family milk cow, but any milk will work.
