Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
- 2 cups water
- 0.5 cup milk (or non-dairy milk of choice)
- 1 piece fresh apple (medium-sized, diced)
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup (or honey)
- 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.125 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 cup chopped walnuts (optional, for topping)
- 2 tablespoons raisins (optional, for topping)
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the water, diced apple, ground cinnamon, and salt. Bring to a gentle boil over medium heat.
Once boiling, stir in the rolled oats and reduce the heat to low. Let the mixture simmer, stirring occasionally, for about 5-7 minutes or until the oats are tender and the mixture starts to thicken.
Stir in the milk, maple syrup, and vanilla extract, and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until the oatmeal reaches your desired consistency.
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the oatmeal sit for a minute or two to absorb the flavors.
Divide the oatmeal into two bowls and top with optional toppings such as chopped walnuts, raisins, or additional diced apple if desired.
Serve warm and enjoy your fresh apple cinnamon oatmeal!
