Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter (or coconut oil)
- 1 tablespoon light brown sugar
- 2 medium honeycrisp apples, peeled and diced
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
- 2 cups unsweetened almond milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Optional toppings: walnuts, maple syrup, extra splash of milk
Instructions
- In a 4-quart pot over medium-high heat, melt butter and stir in brown sugar, apples, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Cook 2–3 minutes, stirring, until apples are tender and caramelized.
- Add oats, almond milk, and vanilla extract. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 3–4 minutes until oats are cooked and creamy.
- Serve warm with walnuts, a drizzle of maple syrup, and extra milk if desired.
Notes
- For a creamier texture, replace half of the almond milk with coconut milk or regular milk.
- Use any variety of apple—Gala, Fuji, or Granny Smith—for different levels of sweetness and tartness.
- This oatmeal can be stored in the fridge for up to 4 days and reheated with a splash of milk.
