Ingredients:
- For the Oatmeal:
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 4 cups water or milk (or a mix of both for creaminess)
- 1/4 cup coconut palm sugar
- A pinch of salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- For the Toppings:
- 2 large apples, cored and diced (preferably Granny Smith or Fuji)
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil or butter
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon (plus extra for serving)
- 1/4 cup chopped nuts (walnuts or almonds, optional)
- A drizzle of honey or maple syrup (optional)
Prepare the Oatmeal
In a medium saucepan, combine the rolled oats, water or milk, coconut palm sugar, and a pinch of salt. Bring to a gentle boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally.
Simmer
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the oats are cooked and the mixture is creamy. Stir in the vanilla extract and mix well.
Sauté the Apples
While the oatmeal is cooking, heat the coconut oil or butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the diced apples, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes, or until the apples are tender and caramelized.
Assemble the Bowls
Once the oatmeal is ready, divide it into four bowls. Top each bowl with the warm sautéed apples and a sprinkle of chopped nuts if using.
Serve
Add an extra sprinkle of cinnamon on top and drizzle with honey or maple syrup if desired. Serve warm and enjoy the delightful flavors of winter!
Enjoy!
