Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Old-fashioned rolled oats
- 2 cups Unsweetened almond milk
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon Pure maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon Pure vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Fresh or frozen berries (optional)
- 2 tablespoons Chopped nuts, such as almonds or walnuts (optional)
Instructions
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the almond milk and ground cinnamon.
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally to infuse the cinnamon flavor.
Once simmering, add the rolled oats to the saucepan and reduce the heat to low.
Cook the oats, stirring frequently, until they are soft and have soaked up most of the almond milk, approximately 5 to 7 minutes.
Stir in the pure maple syrup and vanilla extract, mixing well to combine.
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the oatmeal sit for a minute to thicken slightly.
Serve the oatmeal warm in bowls, topped with your choice of fresh or frozen berries and chopped nuts, if desired.
