Ingredients
Scale
1 cup rolled oats
2 cups milk (any kind) or a 1:1 mix of milk and water
1 large apple, diced
2 teaspoons maple syrup or honey
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
1 pinch salt
1 tablespoon chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
1 tablespoon raisins (optional)
1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional)
1/4 cup extra milk for serving (optional)
1 teaspoon butter or coconut oil (optional)
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the oats, milk, and a pinch of salt. Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat, then reduce to a lively simmer. Stir often to keep the oats from sticking and to help them release their creamy starch.
Add the diced apples, maple syrup, and cinnamon. Continue to cook, about 8–10 minutes, until the oats are thick and the apples are tender but still holding their shape. You’ll smell warm cinnamon and toasty oats as the mixture thickens.
Taste and adjust. If you like it sweeter, add a splash more maple syrup. If you want more spice, dust in a little extra cinnamon (and a pinch of nutmeg if you’re feeling cozy).
Remove from heat. If using vanilla, stir it in now. For extra creaminess, stir in the butter or a splash of milk. Let rest 1–2 minutes for the oats to finish thickening.
Serve hot, topped as you like. A splash more milk can loosen the texture for stirring at the table, and a handful of nuts adds delightful crunch.
