Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 cup plant-based milk
- 1 cup water
- 1/4 cup peanut butter caramel
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 medium apple, diced
- 1 tsp coconut oil
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/8 tsp ground ginger
- 1/8 tsp ground nutmeg
Instructions
- Combine rolled oats, plant-based milk, water, peanut butter caramel, vanilla extract, 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon, and salt in a medium pot.
- Cook over medium heat for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mixture thickens and becomes creamy.
- While the oatmeal cooks, heat a skillet over medium-low heat and lightly grease with coconut oil.
- Add the diced apple, 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg to the skillet.
- Stir occasionally and cook for 3-5 minutes until the apples are softened and warm.
- Serve the creamy oatmeal in bowls, topped with the warm spiced apples. Drizzle with extra peanut butter caramel and add desired toppings.
Notes
- Use certified gluten-free rolled oats if needed.
- Oat milk provides extra creaminess, almond milk adds a nutty note, and soy milk offers protein.
- Prep apples in advance and store in the refrigerator for quick reheating.
- Oatmeal can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; reheat with a splash of plant-based milk.
- Steel-cut oats can be used but will require a longer cooking time (20-25 minutes) and potentially more liquid.
