Ingredients

  • 1 apple cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 2 cups water 453 mL
  • 1 cup rolled oats 80 g
  • 1 Tbsp brown sugar
  • Pinch each of salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves

Instructions

  • Cook: In a medium saucepan, stir together all ingredients. Set over medium heat and bring to a gentle simmer. Cook for about 5 minutes, or until liquid has been absorbed and oats are cooked through (take a bite, they should be soft).
    A saucepan with chopped apples, oats, and a pile of brown sugar on a red background offers the comforting aroma of apple cinnamon oatmeal.
  • Serve: Serve warm, optionally topped with brown sugar and sliced almonds.

Notes

Storage: This oatmeal can be kept in the fridge for up to 3 days in an airtight container. It tends to get thicker over time, so reheat it with a bit of vegan milk or water.
To make this with steel-cut oats, cook steel-cut oats for 25 to 30 minutes, adding more water as needed.
To make this with instant oats, cook for 1 to 2 minutes.
To make this in the microwave, cook on high for 3 minutes.
