Ingredients

Scale

For the Apple Cinnamon Mixture

  • 1 tsp olive oil
  • 1 small apple, diced
  • ¼ tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

For the Oatmeal

  • ½ cup rolled oats
  • 1 cup almond milk

Toppings

  • Reserved sautéed apples
  • 1 tbsp almond butter
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup

Instructions

  1. Heat the olive oil and sauté the apples: In a medium pot over medium heat, warm 1 teaspoon of olive oil. Add the diced apple, ¼ teaspoon of cinnamon, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Sauté the mixture for about 3 minutes until the apples soften and become fragrant.
  2. Set aside some apples for topping: Remove a few pieces of the sautéed apples from the pot and keep them aside to use as toppings later.
  3. Add oats and almond milk: To the pot with the remaining apples, add ½ cup rolled oats and 1 cup almond milk. Stir to combine.
  4. Cook the oatmeal: Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Let it simmer gently for 10 to 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the oats are cooked and most of the liquid has absorbed, yielding a creamy consistency.
  5. Assemble and serve: Spoon the cooked oatmeal into a bowl. Top with the reserved sautéed apples, 1 tablespoon almond butter, and 1 tablespoon maple syrup for added richness and natural sweetness.
  6. Enjoy your warm oatmeal bowl: Serve immediately while warm for a comforting and nutritious breakfast treat.

Notes

  • For a creamier oatmeal, use steel-cut or quick oats but adjust cooking times accordingly.
  • You can substitute almond milk with any other plant-based milk or dairy milk if preferred.
  • Maple syrup can be replaced with honey or agave syrup for different sweeteners.
  • Adding a pinch of nutmeg or ground ginger can enhance the warm spice flavor.
  • For extra protein, consider adding a tablespoon of chia seeds or flaxseeds.
