Ingredients
- 1 cup Rolled oats
- 2 cups Water
- 1 medium Apple
- 0.25 cup Walnuts
- 2 tablespoons Maple syrup
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.125 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 cup Milk (optional)
Directions
Step 1
In a medium saucepan, combine the rolled oats, water, and salt. Place it over medium heat and bring it to a gentle simmer.
Step 2
While the oatmeal starts cooking, wash and core the apple, then dice it into small bite-sized pieces. Set a few slices aside if you’d like to use them as garnish later.
Step 3
Stir the diced apple into the saucepan with the oats. Add the ground cinnamon and continue cooking, stirring occasionally, for about 8–10 minutes, or until the oatmeal reaches your desired consistency and the apples are tender.
Step 4
Meanwhile, toast the walnuts in a dry skillet over medium heat for 2–3 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent burning. Remove from heat and set aside.
Step 5
Once the oatmeal is fully cooked, remove it from heat and stir in the maple syrup. Taste and adjust the sweetness as needed.
Step 6
Divide the oatmeal into two bowls. Top each bowl with the toasted walnuts and reserved apple slices. Drizzle with a splash of milk, if desired.
Step 7
Serve warm and enjoy your delicious apple walnut oatmeal!
