Ingredients

• 1 cup rolled oats
• 2 cups water
• 0.5 cup milk (or non-dairy alternative)
• 1 medium apple (diced)
• 0.25 cup walnuts (chopped)
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 2 tablespoons maple syrup (or honey)
• 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 pinch salt

Directions

Step 1

In a medium saucepan, combine the water, milk, and salt. Heat over medium heat until it begins to simmer.

Stir in the rolled oats and diced apple. Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer, stirring occasionally, for about 5-7 minutes or until the oats are creamy and the apples have softened.

Step 3

Add the ground cinnamon, vanilla extract, and maple syrup (or honey) to the oatmeal. Stir to combine and continue cooking for another 1-2 minutes.

Step 4

Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the chopped walnuts.

Step 5

Taste and adjust sweetness or spice levels as desired. If the oatmeal is too thick, you can stir in a splash of milk to reach your preferred consistency.

Step 6

Serve the oatmeal in bowls and top with any optional toppings, such as extra walnuts, raisins, a sprinkle of cinnamon, or a drizzle of syrup.

Step 7

Enjoy the warm and comforting flavors of your Apple Cinnamon Walnut Oatmeal!
