Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Old-fashioned rolled oats
- 2 cups Water
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 medium Apple (peeled and diced)
- 0.25 cup Raisins
- 0.5 cup Walnuts (chopped)
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 cup Milk (optional, for serving)
- 1 tablespoon Maple syrup (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Bring 2 cups of water and 1/4 teaspoon salt to a boil in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
Stir in 1 cup of old-fashioned rolled oats, reduce the heat to low, and simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add the diced apple, 1/4 cup of raisins, and 1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon to the saucepan. Continue to cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until the oats are creamy and the apples are tender.
While the oatmeal is cooking, prepare the honey-toasted walnuts. Heat a small non-stick skillet over medium heat and add 1/2 cup of chopped walnuts. Toast for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly, until fragrant.
Drizzle 2 tablespoons of honey over the walnuts in the skillet and stir to coat evenly. Continue to cook for another 1-2 minutes, until the honey caramelizes slightly around the walnuts. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
Once the oatmeal is done, divide it evenly between two bowls. Top each bowl with an equal amount of the honey-toasted walnuts.
If desired, drizzle with additional maple syrup and add a splash of milk for extra creaminess. Serve warm and enjoy!
