A warm and comforting breakfast that tastes like apple cake in a bowl. These apple cake oats combine rolled oats with fresh apples, cinnamon, and a touch of maple syrup for a naturally sweet and satisfying start to your day.
1 cup rolled oats
1 1/2 cups unsweetened almond milk
1 medium apple, peeled, cored, and diced
1 tablespoon pure maple syrup
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/8 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons chopped walnuts (optional, for topping)
1 tablespoon raisins (optional, for topping)
In a medium saucepan, combine the rolled oats, almond milk, diced apple, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and salt.
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil over medium heat, then reduce the heat to low and simmer, stirring occasionally, for about 8 minutes or until the oats are soft and the mixture has thickened.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the pure maple syrup and vanilla extract until well combined.
Divide the apple cake oats evenly between two bowls.
If desired, sprinkle chopped walnuts and raisins on top for added texture and flavor.
Serve warm and enjoy your apple cake oats!
