Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup milk any kind
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1/2 cup rolled oats
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1/4 tsp cinnamon or more to taste

for the apple:

  • 1/2 apple diced small
  • 1 tsp coconut oil
  • 3 tbsp water or more as needed
  • 1/4 tsp cinnamon

Instructions

  • Add the milk and water to a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Then, add the oats and reduce heat to a simmer. Simmer for 4-5 minutes until the oats are soft, then stir in the maple syrup and cinnamon and transfer to a bowl.
  • Next, make the apples. Heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat. Once warm, add the apple and sauté for 1-2 minutes, then add the water and continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until the apples are soft. Last, add the cinnamon and stir until the apples are coated.
  • Top the oatmeal with the cinnamon apples, add an extra drizzle of maple syrup (optional) and enjoy!

Notes

*Calories are per serving and are an estimation
*The smaller you dice the apple, the more quickly it'll cook.
*Feel free to play around with the sweetness level. I don't mind this being a little sweet, but if you want it to be less sweet, start with 1 teaspoon of maple syrup and increase to taste. If you really don't want it to be sweet, use 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract instead.
