Ingredients

Scale

Basic Ingredients

  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 2 cups plant-based milk
  • 1 medium crisp apple, chopped into small cubes
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon (natural)
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup (natural), or to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon natural gelling agent
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Prepare Ingredients: Chop your apple into small cubes for even cooking and gather all other ingredients to ensure a smooth and enjoyable cooking process.
  2. Combine Oats and Milk: In a medium saucepan, combine the rolled oats and plant-based milk. Place over medium heat and bring to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
  3. Add Apples and Spices: Once the oats start to soften, stir in the chopped apples, cinnamon (natural), a pinch of salt, and the natural gelling agent. Allow the apples to soften and infuse their sweet essence as the oatmeal cooks.
  4. Sweeten Your Bowl: After the oatmeal thickens to your liking, usually after 10 to 15 minutes, remove from heat and stir in the maple syrup (natural) to taste. Adjust sweetness according to your preference.
  5. Serve Warm: Ladle the oatmeal into bowls and enjoy a cozy, comforting start to your day.

Notes

  • Use fresh, crisp apples for better texture during cooking.
  • Adjust the amount of plant-based milk to control the oatmeal’s thickness and creaminess.
  • Cook the oatmeal slowly over low heat to develop deeper flavors.
  • Stir gently and frequently to avoid lumps and sticking.
  • For quicker mornings, soak oats in plant-based milk overnight before cooking.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Freeze portions in sealed containers for up to one month; thaw overnight before reheating.
  • Reheat gently on the stove or microwave, adding plant-based milk if needed to loosen texture.
