Ingredients
- ½ cup (50 g) rolled oats
- ½ to 1 tbsp maple syrup or honey, to taste
- 1 cup (240 ml) milk or water or a combination of both
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- ⅓ tsp ground cinnamon
- a pinch of salt
Caramelized Apples
- ½ apple diced
- 1 ½ tsp maple syrup or honey
- ¼ tsp ground cinnamon
Instructions
Caramelized Apples
In a bowl, combine apple dices with maple syrup and ground cinnamon. Microwave on high for about 30 to 45 seconds, or until soft and tender. As an alternative, sauté in a pan until tender and caramelized.
Cinnamon Oatmeal
In a pot, combine rolled oats with maple syrup, milk or water, vanilla extract, cinnamon and a pinch of salt.
Simmer over medium heat for around 5 minutes, or until the oatmeal reaches the desired texture. Stir regularly so that it does not stick to the pan.
Once cooked, taste and adjust with more maple syrup if it is necessary. Transfer to a serving bowl and top with the caramelized apple topping.
