Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Old-fashioned rolled oats
- 2 cups Water
- 0.25 cups Milk (optional, for creaminess)
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon Pure maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons Dried cranberries
- 2 tablespoons Golden raisins
- 0.5 medium Red apple (diced)
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground cinnamon (optional)
- 1 pinch Pinch of salt
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups of water and a pinch of salt to a boil over medium-high heat.
Stir in the rolled oats, reduce the heat to medium, and let it cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally to keep the oats from sticking.
Add the diced apple to the cooking oats and continue to cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, until the oats are soft and the apple pieces are slightly tender.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the brown sugar, maple syrup, and cinnamon (if using) until well combined.
For extra creaminess, gently stir in the optional milk at this stage.
Divide the oatmeal evenly into two bowls.
Top each bowl with 1 tablespoon each of dried cranberries and golden raisins.
Serve warm and enjoy your homemade Copycat McDonald's Maple Brown Sugar Fruit Oatmeal!
