INGREDIENT NOTES:
Oats:
- To have the best texture, rolled oats should be used. Not only are they faster to cook and might end up mushy, but the quick oats work as well.
Plant Milk:
- It remains light due to milk made of almonds. Soy/oat milk is used to make it creamy. Add any unsweetened nondairy milk.
Apple:
- Take a crispy sweet apple, e.g., Honeycrisp or Fuji. To make it less spicy, peel it. Cut in small pieces so that it can cook faster.
Maple Syrup:
- Maple sweet nectar is added naturally. You can use date/agave syrup, should you wish. Cinnamon:
Gives a warm flavor. In the case of deviations, an additional pinch of apple pie powder or cardamom can also be added.
Extracting vanilla:
- Not required, but imparts richness and a dessert-like aroma.
Nuts:
- To add some crunch and good fats, you could use pecans or walnuts. The nut-free is superior.

- Add sugar, cinnamon, diced apple, and a small amount of salt & mix.
- If using, add the essence of vanilla.
- Mix everything well.
- At least cook it on a high flame.

TIPS:

STORAGE INFORMATION:
FRIDGE:
- Once, let the oatmeal cool perfectly. Store it in the mug, then transfer to a sealed container. store in a cool place for the next at least 2 days. Must heat it up for two minutes. If it is thick, then add some plant milk to it.
FREEZER:
- Not recommended for freezing. The texture of cooked oats and fruit can become too fluffy when defrosted.
FAQs:
Could steel-cut oats be used?
- No, they will not soften correctly in the microwave and need a longer period to heat. Use the quick oats or rolled oats.
May I take out the sugar?
- Indeed. To replace maple sugar, chopped bananas, or sliced dates can be used in terms of sugar content.
Does it contain no gluten?
- Yes, considering that the oats will have been tested to be gluten-free.
Will I be able to do two times the recipe?
- Indeed. Use a large bowl instead of using a mug. Microwave in 30-second intervals and stirring.
What complements this?
- Have a spoonful of almond butter, pumpkin seeds, raisins/coconut shreds.
