Ingredients

Scale

Oatmeal Base

  • 1½ cups rolled oats (use certified gluten free if needed)
  • 1 cup grated carrot (adjust to preference)
  • 1 medium apple, diced (peeling optional)
  • 1 cup milk of choice (unsweetened almond milk used)
  • 1 cup water

Flavorings

  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey (optional, adjust to taste)
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon

Toppings (Optional)

  • Extra maple syrup or honey
  • Drizzle of peanut butter
  • Berries (fresh or dried)
  • Sliced bananas
  • Raisins or dried cranberries
  • Chopped nuts

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a medium saucepan, mix together the rolled oats, grated carrot, diced apple, milk, water, maple syrup or honey, cinnamon, and vanilla extract. Stir well to combine all ingredients evenly.
  2. Heat Mixture: Place the saucepan over medium heat and warm the mixture until it begins to simmer. Make sure to keep stirring occasionally to prevent sticking or burning.
  3. Cook Until Creamy: Allow the oatmeal to cook for 6 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the oats are tender and the mixture has thickened into a creamy consistency.
  4. Serve with Toppings: Spoon the oatmeal into bowls and add toppings such as extra syrup or honey, a drizzle of peanut butter, fresh or dried berries, sliced bananas, raisins, dried cranberries, or chopped nuts, according to your preference.

Notes

  • You can substitute the milk with any plant-based or dairy milk depending on dietary preference.
  • Adjust the sweetness by reducing or omitting maple syrup or honey if your apples are sweet enough.
  • Feel free to use peeled or unpeeled apples, depending on texture preference.
  • This oatmeal can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated with a splash of milk or water.
  • Adding nuts or seeds on top enhances the nutritional profile with healthy fats and protein.
