Ingredients

Scale

Base Ingredients

  • 1 cup dry old fashioned oats
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 cup almond milk (or milk of choice)
  • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup
  • Pinch of salt

Toppings

  • 1 banana
  • 1/3 cup chopped nuts
  • 1/4 cup yogurt

Instructions

  1. Add to pot: Combine the dry oats, water, almond milk, cinnamon, maple syrup, and a pinch of salt in a pot. Place it over medium heat and bring the mixture to a low boil, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
  2. Simmer: Reduce the heat to low and let the oatmeal simmer gently. Continue stirring occasionally as it thickens. This process usually takes about 5 to 10 minutes until you reach your desired consistency.
  3. Serve: Once thickened, remove the pot from heat. Transfer the oatmeal to bowls and add your preferred toppings.
  4. Flavor: For a maple brown sugar style oatmeal, top with a sprinkle of brown sugar, cinnamon, chopped nuts, and sliced banana. Add yogurt if desired for creaminess and extra protein.

Notes

  • Use old fashioned oats for a creamy but textured oatmeal; quick oats will cook faster but can become mushy.
  • Adjust sweetness by varying the amount of maple syrup or adding brown sugar.
  • You can substitute almond milk with any milk of your choice including dairy or other plant-based milks.
  • Feel free to customize toppings with fresh or dried fruit, seeds, or nut butters.
  • Stir occasionally during cooking to prevent oats from sticking to the pot bottom.
