Ingredients

Scale

Oatmeal Base

  • 1½ cups rolled oats (use certified gluten free if needed)
  • 1 cup grated carrot (add more or less based on your preference)
  • 1 medium apple, diced (peeling optional)
  • 1 cup milk of choice (unsweetened almond milk recommended)
  • 1 cup water

Flavors and Sweeteners

  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey (or to taste; omit if apples provide enough sweetness)
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a medium saucepan, combine rolled oats, grated carrot, diced apple, milk, water, maple syrup or honey, cinnamon, and vanilla extract. Stir well to mix.
  2. Heat and Simmer: Place the saucepan on medium heat. Stir occasionally as the mixture heats until it begins to simmer gently.
  3. Cook Oatmeal: Continue cooking the oatmeal for 6 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking or burning, until the oats are soft and the mixture thickens to your desired consistency.
  4. Serve and Garnish: Serve the oatmeal warm. Top with additional maple syrup or honey, peanut butter drizzle, berries, sliced bananas, raisins, dried cranberries, or chopped nuts according to your preference.

Notes

  • Use certified gluten-free oats to make this recipe gluten free.
  • Adjust the sweetness by modifying the amount of maple syrup or honey, or omit it if apples are sweet enough.
  • You can substitute almond milk with any milk of your choice including dairy or other plant-based alternatives.
  • Adding toppings like nuts or dried fruits adds texture and nutritional value.
  • Stir frequently while cooking to avoid burning on the bottom of the pan.
