Ingredients
Scale
Oatmeal
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 3.5 cups almond milk
- 2 tbsp maple syrup
- 2 tbsp solid coconut oil
- 1 tbsp almond butter
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- pinch salt
Apple Topping
- 2 small honeycrisp apples, peeled and chopped
- 1 tbsp coconut oil
- 1 tbsp maple syrup
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
Instructions
- Cook oats: In a sauce pot, combine the rolled oats and almond milk. Turn the heat to medium-high and bring the mixture to a rolling boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium and stir occasionally. Cook for 15 minutes until the oats become creamy. Turn off the heat.
- Add flavorings: To the cooked oats, add maple syrup, solid coconut oil, almond butter, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Stir well until everything is fully combined and the oatmeal is creamy.
- Prepare apple topping: In a sauce pan over medium heat, add coconut oil. Once melted, add the chopped apples, maple syrup, and cinnamon. Stir together and cook for 6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the apples soften and glaze nicely.
- Serve: Divide the creamy oatmeal into bowls and top each serving with the warm cinnamon apples for a delicious and comforting breakfast.
Notes
- Use rolled oats for a creamier texture; quick oats may result in a mushier consistency.
- For a vegan and allergy-friendly option, use almond milk and coconut oil as shown.
- If you prefer a thinner oatmeal, add a little more almond milk during cooking.
- Substitute honeycrisp apples with any sweet, firm apple variety like Fuji or Gala.
- Maple syrup can be adjusted to taste or substituted with agave syrup for a different flavor.
