Atole de Avena or Oatmeal Atole is a milk drink thicken with oatmeal and has cinnamon, sugar, and vanilla added in for extra flavor.
Notes
If you want to give it an extra boost of flavor you could toast the oatmeal in a separate pan before adding it to the blender. It will give the drink a toasted nutty flavor.
Once you have added the blended oatmeal milk to the water, please do not walk away from your stove! The milk will boil over and make a giant mess! Also, keep stirring! It will burn at the bottom of the pan.
If you like it sweeter add another tablespoon or 2 of sugar or you can add the rest of the sweetened condensed milk.
I prefer using rolled oats but quick oats work just fine, too.
Ingredients
- Water
- Rolled or quick oats
- Sweetened condensed milk
- or white sugar
- Ceylon Cinnamon stick
- Mexican vanilla extract
- or regular vanilla extract
- Milk

How to make Atole de Avena
To a pot add the 2 cups of water, sugar, and the cinnamon stick. Cover and simmer for about 10 minutes.
To a blender add the evaporated milk, regular milk, vanilla, and rolled oats.
Add your blended ingredients to the boiling cinnamon water.
Continually stir the atole until it begins to thicken, about 15-20 minutes over medium-low heat.
Once thick, remove the cinnamon stick.
It is now ready to serve in a heat safe mug.
Enjoy!
