Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 2 cups milk or water
- 1 apple, peeled and diced
- 1 tbsp maple syrup or honey
- ½ tsp cinnamon
- ¼ tsp nutmeg
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: Add oats, milk, diced apple, cinnamon, nutmeg, and a pinch of salt to a saucepan, preparing the base for your oatmeal.
- Bring to Boil: Heat the mixture over medium heat until it reaches a gentle boil, ensuring the oats start cooking evenly.
- Simmer and Stir: Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking and to allow the oatmeal to thicken.
- Add Sweetener: Stir in the maple syrup or honey to naturally sweeten the oatmeal just before serving.
- Serve Warm: Pour the oatmeal into bowls and enjoy warm for a comforting breakfast experience.
Notes
- Use steel-cut oats for a heartier, chewier texture but increase the cooking time accordingly.
- Add chopped nuts or raisins to enhance flavor and texture.
- Store any leftovers in the refrigerator and consume within 2–3 days.
