(or oats flour)

cups
whole milk
▢
½
cup
sugar
▢

cups

Instructions
Place the old-fashioned oats in a blender and pour in half of the milk. Blend for 1 minute.
Add water, sugar, and cinnamon stick to a pot.
Bring to a boil, then set the heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for about 5 minutes.
Add the oats mixture, then the remaining milk and vanilla extract. Bring to a simmer.
Cook atole while stirring constantly for about 10 minutes.
Adjust sugar to taste, turn off the heat, and serve with a sprinkle of cinnamon powder on top.
Notes
Adjust the drink consistency by adding more milk to make it thinner or cooking it longer to make it thicker.
Do not stop stirring the mixture; it will spill out of the pot, or even worse, burn on the bottom.
You can make this oat drink vegan or dairy-free by using vegan beverages such as coconut milk, almond milk, soy milk, etc.
Or you can simply leave the milk out and use only water, it is still a nutritious and fulfilling drink you can serve for breakfast.
