Ingredients

Base Recipe

  • 1 ½ cup water
  • ½ cup milk or milk alternative*
  • 1 small apple, diced ¼” (~¾ cup diced)
  • 2 teaspoons brown sugar (or to taste)
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon
  • Dash kosher salt
  • ½ cup steel cut oats
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  • In a small saucepan, combine water, milk, diced apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Bring to a boil.
  • Add oats, reduce heat, and stir to combine. Simmer for ~20 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until oats soften and the liquid has thickened. Remove from heat, stir in vanilla extract, and let settle for another minute before eating. Oatmeal will continue to thicken as it cools.
