Description
A warm and comforting apple cinnamon oatmeal recipe that’s naturally sweetened, dairy-optional, and ready in just 15 minutes — perfect for cozy mornings.
Ingredients
1 cup rolled oats
1 ¾ cups almond milk (or any milk)
1 medium apple, diced (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
1 ½ tsp cinnamon
2 tbsp maple syrup
1 tbsp chia seeds (optional)
Pinch of salt
Instructions
In a saucepan over medium heat, combine oats, almond milk, and a pinch of salt.
Once simmering, stir in the diced apples, cinnamon, and maple syrup.
Cook for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until oats are soft and apples tender.
Remove from heat and stir in chia seeds (if using).
Spoon into bowls and top as desired with nuts, yogurt, or extra apple slices.
Notes
Swap maple syrup with applesauce or mashed banana for a sugar-free version.
Store leftovers in the fridge up to 4 days; reheat with a splash of milk.
Add a pinch of nutmeg or pumpkin spice for a fall flavor twist.
