How to make the Apple Pie Oatmeal

This oatmeal recipe is super easy, I prefer to make my oatmeal over the stovetop rather than in the microwave. It’s easy and made the creamiest oats ever.

In a small pan add rolled oats, maple syrup, plant-based milk, cinnamon, and water. Heat over medium heat and stir occasionally. Cook for 5-6 minutes until creamy.
In the meantime prepare the caramelized apples.
In a large skillet heat 1 tbsp of coconut oil with 1 tbsp of maple syrup. Add chopped apples and cook over medium heat for about 5 minutes. Stir occasionally.
Sprinkle the apples with cinnamon and stir to combine. Once the apples are covered in maple caramel take off the heat.
Transfer the prepared porridge into a bowl, top with caramelized apple, almond butter, hemp seeds, and more maple syrup. Enjoy!

Tips to make the best creamy oatmeal

Follow these few simple steps to make the creamiest and most delicious oatmeal.

Always make your oats over medium heat at the stovetop and whisk continuously.

Use high-quality milk and avoid making your oats just with water. Milk will make them silky and creamy.

Rolled Oats will work the best in this recipe. Porridge oats might give you a less creamy texture.

Is this Apple Pie Oatmeal Healthy?

Yes! This recipe is made with half of the milk and with no added sugar. If you want to add more protein in I. like to add one scoop of vanilla whey protein in the oatmeal. It makes the meal even more nourishing.
