Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 2 cups plant-based milk
  • 1 medium fresh apple, peeled (optional), cored and chopped into small cubes
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon powder (natural)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (natural)
  • 1–2 tablespoons maple syrup (natural), to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon natural gelling agent
  • 1/4 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Apples: Start by peeling (if you prefer), coring, and chopping your apple into small cubes. This helps the apples soften perfectly and release their sweetness while cooking.
  2. Cook the Oats: In a medium saucepan, combine the rolled oats and plant-based milk over medium heat. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking and allow the oats to absorb the creamy liquid.
  3. Add Apples and Spices: Once the oats begin to soften, stir in the chopped apples, cinnamon powder (natural), and a splash of vanilla extract (natural). Let the mixture simmer gently until the apples are tender and the flavors meld beautifully.
  4. Sweeten and Finish: Mix in maple syrup (natural) to your preferred sweetness level and sprinkle in the natural gelling agent to thicken the oatmeal to a luscious consistency. Stir well and cook for an additional one to two minutes.
  5. Add Crunch: If desired, fold in chopped walnuts or pecans just before serving to add a satisfying crunch that complements the soft oats and tender apples.

Notes

  • Choose sweet-tart apples like Fuji or Honeycrisp for the best flavor and texture.
  • Lightly toast walnuts or pecans in a dry pan to enhance their aroma and crunch.
  • Adjust plant-based milk quantity to achieve your preferred oatmeal thickness.
  • Simmer on medium to low heat to prevent burning and encourage a creamy result.
  • Use freshly ground cinnamon powder (natural) for more pronounced flavor.
