Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 2 cups milk (or plant-based milk like almond or oat milk)
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 medium apple, grated or finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • Pinch of salt
  • Optional toppings: chopped nuts, seeds, yogurt, or extra apple slices

Instructions

  1. Wash and grate or finely chop the apple. Leave the peel on for extra fiber.
  2. In a medium saucepan, combine the oats, milk, and water. Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat.
  3. Once the mixture begins to thicken, reduce the heat to low and stir in the grated apple and cinnamon.
  4. Cook for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the oats are soft and creamy. Add more milk or water if needed.
  5. Remove from heat and stir in honey or maple syrup to taste.
  6. Serve warm, topped with fresh apple slices, chopped nuts, or a drizzle of honey.

Notes

  • Use certified gluten-free oats for a gluten-free version.
  • Substitute honey with maple syrup or agave nectar for a vegan option.
  • Adjust the oat-to-liquid ratio (1:3) for your preferred consistency.
  • Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days and reheat with a splash of milk.
  • Add nut butter for extra creaminess and protein.
