Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup rolled oats (90 g)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 cup milk (240 ml), any kind
  • 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt (120 g)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • For the cinnamon sugar swirl:
  • 3 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon butter, melted
  • For the sweet cream cheese drizzle:
  • 4 oz cream cheese (115 g), softened
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar (60 g)
  • 1–2 tablespoons milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease ramekins or a small baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine rolled oats, baking powder, cinnamon, and brown sugar. Stir to coat the oats evenly.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together milk, Greek yogurt, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined, avoiding overmixing.
  5. In a small bowl, mix brown sugar, cinnamon, and melted butter to form the cinnamon sugar swirl paste.
  6. Spoon half of the oat mixture into the prepared ramekins or dish. Dollop half the cinnamon sugar mixture over the oats and gently swirl with a knife or skewer. Repeat with remaining oats and cinnamon sugar.
  7. Place the ramekins or dish on a baking sheet and bake for 25-30 minutes until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted near the center comes out mostly clean.
  8. While baking, beat together softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and 1-2 tablespoons milk until smooth and pourable.
  9. Let the baked oats cool for a few minutes, then drizzle generously with the cream cheese topping and serve warm.

Notes

Use rolled oats for best texture; quick oats can be substituted but texture will differ. For gluten-free, use certified gluten-free oats. Avoid overmixing to keep a tender, custardy texture. Make the cream cheese drizzle fresh and slightly warm for best consistency. Cover with foil halfway through baking if oats look dry. Adding a pinch more baking powder helps keep the cinnamon swirl lifted.
