Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Gluten-free rolled oats
- 2 cups Water
- 1 medium, diced Apple
- 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons Maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 cup Chopped nuts (like walnuts or almonds)
- 0.25 cup Raisins
- 0.5 cup Milk (dairy or plant-based)
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, bring the water to a boil. Add the gluten-free rolled oats and reduce the heat to a simmer.
Add the diced apple to the saucepan, stirring to incorporate it into the oats.
Mix in the cinnamon, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt, ensuring all the ingredients are evenly distributed.
Let the mixture simmer for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the oats are tender and have absorbed most of the water.
In the last 2 minutes of cooking, add the chopped nuts and raisins, stirring them into the oats.
Once cooked, remove the saucepan from heat and let it sit for a couple of minutes to thicken further.
Serve warm in bowls, topped with a splash of milk of your choice for added creaminess.
For extra flavor, sprinkle a little more cinnamon on top before serving.
