Gluten Free Apple Oatmeal
by: claire cary
This creamy stovetop apple oatmeal is the perfect cozy fall breakfast. It's topped with maple cinnamon sauteed apples and comes together in less than 30 minutes. Cozy, comforting and so easy to make!
Ingredients
Oatmeal
- 1 cup rolled oats certified gluten free
- 1 cups milk dairy or non-dairy
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- pinch of salt
Apples
- 1 tablespoon butter or coconut oil
- 2 honeycrisp apples cored and diced
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
Instructions
- Add the oats, milk, maple syrup, cinnamon, vanilla and salt to a medium pot on the stove.
- Bring to a low boil over medium/high heat, then reduce heat to low and let simmer until thick, stirring occasionally. This will take about 5-10 minutes. If you prefer it a bit less thick, just add more liquid.
- Meanwhile, melt the butter in a saute pan over medium heat. Add in the diced apples, maple syrup and cinnamon. You can also add in some brown sugar here, but I wanted to keep this as low sugar as possible. Saute, stirring regularly, for about 5-10 minutes or until the apples are soft and nice and brown. Feel free to add any nutmeg, ginger, etc.
- Divide the oatmeal among two bowls, then top with the sauteed apples, chopped nuts if desired (I like almonds, walnuts or pecans here) and an extra drizzle of maple syrup. Nut butter and a dollop of greek yogurt is also delicious for more flavor and added protein. Enjoy!
Notes
I like to use all milk for the oatmeal, but you can use half milk half water if you prefer! I used soy milk for a bit of extra protein.
Feel free to add in some ground flax seeds to the oatmeal to up the protein and fiber content!
