Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Rolled oats
- 1 cup Water
- 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk (or any milk of choice)
- 1 medium Apple, diced (leave the skin on for added fiber)
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon Maple syrup (optional, adjust to taste)
- 1 teaspoon Chia seeds (optional, for added nutrients)
- 2 tablespoons Chopped walnuts or pecans (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the rolled oats, water, and almond milk over medium heat. Stir well.
Add the diced apple and ground cinnamon to the saucepan. Mix to evenly coat the apples with cinnamon.
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low. Simmer for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the oats have absorbed most of the liquid and the apples are tender.
If desired, stir in the maple syrup and chia seeds for added sweetness and nutrients.
Once the oatmeal has reached your desired consistency, remove the saucepan from heat.
Divide the apple cinnamon oatmeal into two bowls.
Top with chopped walnuts or pecans for a crunchy garnish, if desired.
Serve warm and enjoy!
