Cinnamon Roll Baked Oatmeal Cups

Happy New Year!

To welcome the new year, I have made breakfast.

Not just any breakfast...this one has frosting!  Cream cheese frosting!

We adore that stuff around here, especially for breakfast.  Especially covering things like cinnamon rolls and breakfast cake.  Today we're taking oatmeal to another level, don't you dare hesitate to try this one.

I have made this several times and now if I mention we're having 'the oatmeal with frosting' for breakfast, the kids get so excited.  This version is on the healthy side, since it's January and all, and is a great way to start the year day.

For Oatmeal:

1 cup OLD FASHIONED OATMEAL

1/2 cup UNSWEETENED APPLESAUCE

1/2 cup MILK

1/2 teaspoon VANILLA EXTRACT

1 teaspoon CINNAMON

3 Tablespoons PURE MAPLE SYRUP

1/8 teaspoon SALT

For Frosting:

2 Tablespoons CREAM CHEESE, softened

4 Tablespoons POWDERED SUGAR

1/2 teaspoon VANILLA EXTRACT

Milk or Half & Half, as needed

Preheat oven to 375°.  Lightly grease ramekins or small oven proof bowls.

In a medium bowl, combine oatmeal ingredients.  Divide mixture evenly among prepared bowls.  I usually divide the mixture into 3 equal portions because that is the perfect amount for my kids, you can also divide it 2 or 4 ways depending on your crowd.

Bake for 15-20 minutes until center is set.

Meanwhile, mix together frosting ingredients.  Serve oatmeal warm topped with frosting.
