Maple and Brown Sugar Oatmeal

dark brown sugar

maple syrup

Bring water to a boil. Add oats and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Remove from heat and stir in brown sugar and maple syrup. Let sit until desired thickness is reached, 2 to 3 minutes.


6.16.18  The brown sugar and maple syrup give the oatmeal just enough sweetness, but doesn’t overpower.  Next time I’ll cut back just a bit on the amount of the water, husband thought it was a little runny, but that's just personal taste.  Scaled the recipe to two servings, and this does make a big bowl of oatmeal; in this house, it was more like three servings.  Garnished with some sliced banana and a sprinkle of brown sugar.  This is quick and easy for sure!

OMG this is delicious i'm 13 going on 14 and now that i know this i can eat oatmeal forever!

This is perfect.  No more instant packets for me.  Our son loves this combination.  Thanks for the recipe.

Really good.   Just the right amount of sweetness.

Thank you! It's delish! And since you asked for suggestions I noticed the packaged version includes salt so I would add a pinch of salt since salt always makes any desert taste better

I usually use half oats and half granola with raisins.

I really liked this recipe! I added a pinch of salt and a little bit more maple syrup and brown sugar to get a good balance of sweet and salty. Also to mix it up I added just a half teaspoon or so of allspice. It reminded me of Christmas and tasted great!

Make it every morning pretty much, and I use organic brown sugar and cary's low calories maple syrup!!!! My staple morning breakfast.

Yummy, one of my favorite combos maple syrup and brown sugar! The banana is  a nice topping, it is on my menu!

This is by far the best recipe that I have made. Props to the owner.

I loved this one. as a fourteen-year-old, it was easy and simple.  As my own twist, I added cranberries (my favorite). It went well with my tea. Thank you for the recipe!

I used milk and added chocolate chips in the end

I don’t know why everyone in the reviews is giving this such high ratings. The packet version tastes much better and if you want to get the same taste you would have to add a lot more sugar. However, then it would just be unhealthy. Just stick with the packet if you like true maple brown sugar oatmeal.

Upon looking for a way to save money and give my kids a somewhat healthier alternative to the pre-packaged oatmeal, Google led us to this recipe. I'm glad we gave it a try! I was a little skeptical about preparing it with water (since my kids like milk with the packets) but it came out great... and since I have one kid with nut allergies and one kid with egg and dairy allergies, it's nice to add a splash of their appropriate milks after it's done. Another great thing is that it can be dressed up as you like... I make one huge pot of it and the kids can add fruit or nuts (or not) as they please. Great quick and simple recipe! We enjoyed it for sure!

Thank you! Oatmeal sounded good this morning but I didn't have any packets. This tastes like the package and I was able to use the oats I normally only use in baking.

You had a great idea and I loved it!  Very easy and tasty!

Pretty dang close to the package. Flavor is my childhood favorite
