Description
Rich, nutty oatmeal sweetened with pure maple syrup and topped with crunchy toasted pecans — a comforting, energy-packed breakfast perfect for cozy mornings.
Ingredients
Oatmeal
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 2 cups milk or water
- 2 tbsp pure maple syrup
- ¼ tsp ground cinnamon
- Pinch of salt
Toppings
- ¼ cup chopped pecans
Instructions
- Simmer the oats: In a medium saucepan, combine rolled oats, milk or water, maple syrup, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. Cook for 5 to 6 minutes until the oats are tender and creamy.
- Add pecans and serve: Stir in the chopped pecans to warm them slightly and distribute their flavor throughout. Serve the oatmeal warm, optionally topped with extra maple syrup or Greek yogurt for added creaminess and sweetness.
Notes
- Top with extra maple syrup or Greek yogurt for enhanced flavor and creaminess.
- Toast pecans in a dry skillet over medium heat until fragrant and slightly browned for a deeper, nuttier flavor.
