For extra richness, replace 1 cup of the whole milk with half-and-half or evaporated milk.
For a stronger cinnamon flavor, increase to 1 1/2 teaspoons total or add a cinnamon stick during cooking (remove before serving).
Swap the raisins for golden raisins, dried cranberries, or chopped dried apricots.
For a less sweet version (great for breakfast), reduce the sugar to 1/3 cup and serve with honey or maple syrup on the side.
For a more indulgent finish, stir in 1 to 2 tablespoons of butter at the end of cooking.
To make it dairy-free, use a full-fat non-dairy milk such as canned coconut milk blended with almond or oat milk. Keep in mind it may thicken differently—check a bit earlier and adjust the cook time as needed
