Ingredients
Scale
Oatmeal
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 3.5 cups almond milk
- 2 tbsp maple syrup
- 2 tbsp solid coconut oil
- 1 tbsp almond butter
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- pinch salt
Apple Topping
- 2 small honeycrisp apples, peeled and chopped
- 1 tbsp coconut oil
- 1 tbsp maple syrup
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
Instructions
- Cook the Oatmeal: In a sauce pot, combine the rolled oats and almond milk. Place over medium-high heat and bring the mixture to a rolling boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium and continue cooking, stirring occasionally, for 15 minutes or until the oatmeal becomes creamy.
- Add Flavorings: Remove the pot from heat and stir in the maple syrup, solid coconut oil, almond butter, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt until everything is thoroughly combined and creamy.
- Prepare the Apple Topping: In a separate saucepan, heat coconut oil over medium heat. Add the peeled and chopped honeycrisp apples, maple syrup, and cinnamon. Stir occasionally and cook for 5 to 6 minutes until the apples soften and become tender.
- Assemble and Serve: Spoon the creamy oatmeal into bowls and generously top with the warm cinnamon-spiced apple mixture. Serve immediately for a comforting breakfast.

- Substitute almond milk with any other plant-based milk or dairy milk for variation.
- Use other sweeteners like honey or agave nectar if maple syrup is unavailable.
- Feel free to add nuts or seeds for extra texture and protein.
- Adjust cinnamon quantity to taste for more or less spice.
- Leftover oatmeal can be refrigerated and gently reheated with additional almond milk.
