Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 2 cups unsweetened almond milk
- 1 medium apple
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup
- 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
Instructions
Peel and core the apple, then chop it into small, bite-sized pieces.
In a medium saucepan, combine the rolled oats, almond milk, chopped apple, ground cinnamon, salt, and vanilla extract.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a simmer, stirring occasionally.
Once the mixture begins to simmer, reduce the heat to low and continue to cook for about 5-7 minutes or until the apples are tender and the oats have absorbed most of the almond milk.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the maple syrup.
Divide the oats into two serving bowls and top with chopped walnuts if desired.
Serve warm and enjoy!
