Ingredients
- 1 tsp olive oil
- 1 small apple, diced
- 1/4 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1 cup almond milk
- 1 tbsp almond butter
- 1 tbsp maple syrup
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a small pot over medium heat. Add the diced apple, cinnamon, and vanilla extract and sauté for about 3 minutes until the apples begin to soften.
- Remove a few apple pieces and set them aside for topping.
- Add the rolled oats and almond milk to the pot and bring to a boil.
- Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 10–15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the oats are tender and most of the liquid is absorbed.
- Transfer the oatmeal to a bowl and top with the reserved apples, almond butter, and maple syrup before serving.
Notes

- Swap almond milk with oat milk or soy milk if preferred.
