Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

Cinnamon infused Atole de Avena (Mexican Sweet Oatmeal) is the a comforting warm drink perfect for chilly fall and winter weather!

 Atole de Avena combines milk, sugar, oats and cinnamon in a traditional Mexican beverage that is wonderful when served alongside Mexican sweet bread. #oatmeal #breakfast #mexican

Growing up, my husband was often up pretty early for school.  Although his walk was short, his parents were usually at work very early in the morning.  In many cases, they would wake up the kids and then have to take off.    As tempting as it was to go back to sleep, they always made it to school on time.

His parents used to make Atole de Avena (Mexican sweet oatmeal) and leave it out on the stove.  Their hope was that the kids would have something filling to eat before they left each morning.  It was the perfect way to fill up a hungry belly and keep it full so they could focus in class. 

A huge mug of Atole would keep their bellies full for most of the morning.   

Now, over 30 years later, we still enjoy it when we visit their house every week.  Now that the evenings are finally cooling down in Arizona, my kids have been asking for this like clockwork. 

Every, single, day.

Atole de Avena combines milk, sugar, oats and cinnamon in a traditional Mexican beverage that is wonderful when served alongside Mexican sweet bread.

The kids love to sip it out of a mug just like we do.  After all, it makes them feel super important as if they are drinking a grown-up drink.  We all know that this is not quite like that at all. 😉

If I make too much, I’ll usually refrigerate the extra so that we can joy it the next morning or evening.  It reheats easily on the stove and we’ll just add a little more milk to thin it out if it gets too thick.
