This Apple Cinnamon Oatmeal is a warm, comforting breakfast that combines creamy rolled oats with tender, cinnamon-spiced apples and crunchy pecans. Sweetened naturally with maple syrup and flavored with vanilla and sea salt, this wholesome bowl is perfect for a quick, nutritious start to your day.

Ingredients

Oatmeal

  • ½ cup old fashioned rolled oats
  • 1 cup water or milk
  • ½ tablespoon maple syrup (or brown sugar, or coconut sugar, optional)
  • ¼-½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • pinch of sea salt

Cinnamon Apples Topping

  • ½ cup diced apples
  • 2 teaspoons maple syrup
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon

Additional Toppings

  • 2 tablespoons chopped pecans
  • Additional cinnamon and maple syrup for serving (optional)

Instructions

  1. Cook apples: In a small saucepan, combine diced apples, 2 teaspoons maple syrup, and ¼ teaspoon cinnamon. Sauté over medium heat for a few minutes until the apples soften and appear similar to baked apples. Remove from heat and set aside.
  2. Cook oats: In another saucepan, add oats, 1 cup water or milk, ½ tablespoon maple syrup, ¼-½ teaspoon cinnamon, ½ teaspoon vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt over medium-high heat. Bring the mixture to a low boil, then reduce the heat to a low simmer. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the oats absorb most of the liquid and the oatmeal reaches a creamy consistency.
  3. Serve: Transfer the cooked oatmeal to a bowl. Top with the cinnamon-spiced apples, chopped pecans, an extra sprinkle of cinnamon, and additional maple syrup if desired for sweetness. Enjoy warm.

Notes

  • You can substitute water with any milk of your choice for creamier oatmeal.
  • Adjust cinnamon amount according to your taste preference.
  • Use brown sugar or coconut sugar instead of maple syrup as sweeteners if desired.
  • For a vegan option, use plant-based milk and ensure sweeteners are vegan-friendly.
  • Leftovers can be stored covered in the refrigerator for up to 2 days and reheated gently with a splash of milk or water.
