Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 cup water
- 1 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- 1 medium apple
- 2 tablespoons sliced almonds
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 teaspoon butter or coconut oil (optional)
- 1 tablespoon extra sliced almonds
- 1 teaspoon extra honey or maple syrup
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the rolled oats, water, milk, salt, and ground cinnamon. Stir to mix.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
While the oatmeal is heating, core and chop the apple into small bite-sized pieces. Leave the skin on for added texture and nutrients if preferred.
Stir the chopped apple into the simmering oatmeal. Allow the mixture to cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the oats are creamy and the apples have softened.
Once the oatmeal has reached your desired consistency, remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, and optional butter or coconut oil for extra richness.
Divide the oatmeal into two serving bowls. Top each bowl with 1 tablespoon of sliced almonds and a drizzle of extra honey or maple syrup, if desired.
Garnish with additional cinnamon and serve warm. Enjoy your cozy Apple Almond Oatmeal!
