I am happy you are here. This recipe shows you how to make incredibly creamy apple cinnamon oatmeal on the stovetop in under 10 minutes. It is a cozy breakfast perfect for busy mornings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup rolled oats (old-fashioned oats work best for creaminess)
  • 2 cups water or milk (dairy or non-dairy for vegan option)
  • 1 medium apple, peeled and diced small
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup (or to taste)
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • Optional Toppings: chopped pecans, hemp seeds, extra cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Combine the diced apple, water or milk, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a small saucepan. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat.
  2. Cook the apples for 3 to 4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften slightly.
  3. Add the rolled oats and salt to the saucepan. Stir well to combine all ingredients.
  4. Reduce the heat to medium-low. Cook for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring frequently. Stirring often helps release the starches from the oats, creating a creamy texture.
  5. Remove the saucepan from the heat. Stir in the maple syrup and vanilla extract.
  6. Divide the oatmeal into bowls. Top with your favorite additions like pecans or seeds for a hearty breakfast.

Notes

  • For a vegan option, use plant-based milk like almond or soy milk.
  • To make this a low-point breakfast, reduce or omit the maple syrup and use water instead of milk.
  • If you want a thicker, richer texture, use half water and half milk.
  • For a dietitian-approved boost, stir in 1/4 cup of plain Greek yogurt after removing the oatmeal from the heat.
