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 rolled oats and almond milk. Place over medium-high heat and bring to a rolling boil. Once boiling, reduce heat to medium and stir occasionally. Cook for 15 minutes or until the mixture becomes creamy, then 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 thoroughly until everything is well combined and the oatmeal is creamy.
- Prepare Apple Topping: In a separate saucepan, heat coconut oil over medium heat. Add chopped apples, maple syrup, and cinnamon. Stir with a spatula and cook for 6 minutes or until apples have softened and released their natural sweetness.
- Serve: Spoon the creamy oatmeal into bowls and top evenly with the warm cinnamon apples. Serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.
Notes
- You can substitute almond milk with any other plant-based milk or dairy milk if preferred.
- For a nuttier flavor, toast the oats lightly in the pot before adding almond milk.
- The maple syrup can be adjusted according to desired sweetness.
- Adding a handful of nuts or seeds on top can enhance texture and nutrition.
- Use firm, crisp apples like Honeycrisp or Gala for the best topping texture.
- This recipe can be easily doubled to serve more people.
