Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 2 cups unsweetened almond milk
- 1 cup water
- 0.5 cup raisins
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the rolled oats, unsweetened almond milk, and water. Stir well to ensure the oats are evenly submerged in the liquid.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle boil, stirring occasionally to prevent the oats from sticking to the bottom.
Once it reaches a boil, reduce the heat to low and allow the oats to simmer gently. Continue to cook, stirring frequently, for about 5-7 minutes or until the mixture begins to thicken and the oats are tender.
Add the raisins, maple syrup, ground cinnamon, vanilla extract, and salt to the pan. Stir the ingredients thoroughly into the oatmeal, making sure the raisins are evenly distributed.
Continue to cook the oatmeal for an additional 2-3 minutes, stirring often, until it reaches your desired level of creaminess and the raisins have plumped up slightly.
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the oatmeal sit for a minute to thicken further if desired.
Serve the creamy oatmeal warm, garnished with extra raisins or a sprinkle of cinnamon if you wish. Enjoy your cozy, dairy-free breakfast!
