Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup gluten-free rolled oats
- 2 cups water
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons light brown sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)
- 0.25 cup chopped nuts (such as pecans or walnuts, optional)
- 0.5 cup fresh fruit or berries (optional)
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, bring the water and salt to a boil over medium-high heat.
Stir in the gluten-free rolled oats and reduce the heat to medium-low to bring the mixture to a simmer.
Cook the oats, stirring occasionally, until they have absorbed most of the water and reached your desired consistency, about 5 to 7 minutes.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the pure maple syrup, light brown sugar, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Pour in the unsweetened almond milk and stir well to incorporate. If you prefer a creamier consistency, feel free to add more milk.
Divide the oatmeal into two serving bowls.
Top each bowl with chopped nuts and fresh fruit or berries if desired.
Serve warm and enjoy your gluten-free maple and brown sugar oatmeal.
