Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 apple, diced
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 2 cups milk or water
- 1 tbsp maple syrup
- ½ tsp cinnamon
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a medium saucepan, add the diced apple, rolled oats, milk or water, maple syrup, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Stir to mix all the ingredients evenly.
- Cook Oatmeal: Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook the mixture, stirring occasionally, for about 8 to 10 minutes. Continue cooking until the oats have softened and the mixture has become creamy in texture.
- Serve: Once cooked, remove from heat. Serve the oatmeal warm, optionally topped with extra diced apples or chopped nuts for added texture and flavor.
Notes
- Add raisins for more natural sweetness and texture.
- This recipe works great for making overnight oats; simply soak the ingredients overnight in the fridge.
- Use milk for a creamier texture or water for a lighter, dairy-free option.
- Adjust the maple syrup amount to your preferred sweetness level.
