Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Rolled oats
- 2 cups Almond milk
- 1 cup Water
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Maple syrup
- 0.25 cup Dried apricots
- 0.25 cup Dried cranberries
- 0.25 cup Raisins
- 0.25 cup Chopped nuts (e.g., almonds, walnuts)
Instructions
Chop the dried apricots into small pieces if they're not pre-chopped and set aside along with the dried cranberries and raisins.
In a medium saucepan, combine the rolled oats, almond milk, water, and salt. Stir the mixture gently to combine.
Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally.
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and continue cooking for about 10-12 minutes, stirring frequently, until the oats have absorbed most of the liquid and have reached a creamy consistency.
Add the cinnamon, vanilla extract, and maple syrup to the oatmeal. Stir well to incorporate these flavors.
Fold in the chopped dried apricots, dried cranberries, and raisins, allowing them to heat and slightly plump up in the warm oatmeal.
Remove the oatmeal from the heat. Let it sit for a minute to finish thickening.
Serve the creamy oatmeal in bowls, sprinkled with chopped nuts for added texture and flavor.
