Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 cup water
- 1 cup milk (dairy or plant-based)
- 2 tablespoons almond butter
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey (optional, for sweetness)
- 1 tablespoon sliced almonds (optional, for garnish)
- 0.5 cup fresh fruit (e.g., banana slices, berries; optional for topping)
- 1 pinch pinch of salt
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the rolled oats, water, milk, and a pinch of salt. Stir to combine.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Once simmering, reduce the heat to low and cook the oats for 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent sticking, until the oatmeal reaches your desired consistency.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the almond butter, ground cinnamon, and vanilla extract. Mix well to ensure everything is evenly combined.
Taste the oatmeal and, if desired, stir in the maple syrup or honey for added sweetness.
Divide the oatmeal into two serving bowls.
Top each bowl with sliced almonds and fresh fruit, if using.
Serve warm and enjoy your Almond Butter Cinnamon Vanilla Oatmeal!
