Remember the gooey, sticky sweetness of biting into a Cinnabon? Or, rather, remember yesterday at the mall when you walked by Cinnabon and almost caved but didn't? (Or, you know, did?)
Today's oatmeal recipe is the solution to any guilt, nostalgia, or sticky fingers you may have experienced: cinnamon bun oatmeal-- with icing!
This recipe mixes healthy ingredients like whole grains from the oatmeal, metabolism-revving cinnamon, and protein-filled tofu (yes, tofu).
The best news of all? You can have cinnamon buns for breakfast without actually having cinnamon buns for breakfast.
