Rolled oats simmer in almond milk with warm cinnamon until creamy, then get stirred through with diced apple and plump raisins. It's a cozy, naturally sweetened breakfast that's ready in about 15 minutes and easy to double for meal prep.
Ingredients
pantry
- 50 grolled oats
- 1 tspcinnamon
- 20 graisins
- 1 tbspmaple syrup
- 0.13 tspsalt
produce
- 1apple
dairy
- 250 mlalmond milk
Steps
- Core the apple and cut it into small, even cubes.
- Combine the almond milk, rolled oats, cinnamon, and salt in a saucepan and set over medium heat.
- Bring to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally, then reduce the heat to medium-low.
- Cook for 5 minutes, stirring every minute or so, until the oats begin to thicken and turn creamy.
- Stir in the diced apple and raisins, and continue cooking for 3–4 minutes until the apple softens slightly and the oatmeal is thick.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the maple syrup.
- Let the oatmeal rest for 1 minute off the heat to thicken further.
- Spoon into a bowl and serve warm.
Tips
- Stir the oats occasionally as they simmer to keep them from sticking or scorching on the bottom.
- Add the diced apple partway through cooking so it softens slightly but still keeps some texture.
- Use a sweeter apple variety, like Honeycrisp or Fuji, if you'd like the oatmeal a bit sweeter without added sugar.
- Let the oatmeal sit off the heat for a minute before serving — it will continue to thicken as it cools slightly.
