Add a pinch of nutmeg or ground ginger along with the cinnamon for more warmth and complexity.
Use a plant-based milk like oat, almond, or soy milk, and substitute ghee with coconut oil or vegan butter. Use maple syrup instead of brown sugar if desired.

This recipe is optimized for rolled oats. If you use steel-cut oats, you will need to increase the liquid and cook time significantly (around 20-30 minutes). Instant oats will cook much faster but may result in a mushier, less desirable texture.
To make it vegan, simply substitute the whole milk with your favorite plant-based milk (oat milk works wonderfully for creaminess) and replace the ghee with coconut oil or a vegan butter.
Absolutely. You can cook a batch and store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The oatmeal will thicken as it cools. To reheat, add a splash of milk and heat it on the stovetop or in the microwave until warm.
The key is to use rolled oats instead of instant oats and to avoid overcooking. Simmer gently and stir frequently, but not constantly. Removing it from the heat while it's still slightly looser than you'd like is a good trick, as it will continue to thicken as it rests.
