Ingredients
  

For the Oats
  • 1 cup Rolled Oats Use old-fashioned for the best texture.
  • 2 cups Almond Milk Opt for unsweetened with just two ingredients (almonds + water).
  • 0.5 cup Water
  • 1 tablespoon Maple Syrup Substitute with date syrup or mashed ripe banana for a sugar-free version.
  • 0.25 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon Freshly grated cinnamon is best.
  • 0.125 teaspoon Kosher Salt Halve the quantity if using Morton salt.
  • 1 tablespoon Almond Butter Roasted is preferable for deeper flavor.
For Serving (Optional)
  • Seasonal Fruits Choose your favorites to brighten your bowl.
  • Chia Seeds Let them soak in the mixture for a few minutes.
  • Cocoa Powder Use unsweetened for a healthier option.
  • Coconut Flakes Toast them for a crunchy contrast.

Equipment

  • Medium heavy-bottomed saucepan

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a medium heavy-bottomed saucepan, add 1 cup of rolled oats over medium heat. Toast the oats for about 3 minutes, stirring continuously until they become nutty and slightly darker in color.
  2. Pour in 2 cups of almond milk and ½ cup of water into the saucepan with the toasted oats. Increase the heat slightly until the mixture reaches a gentle simmer.
  3. Stir in 1 tablespoon of maple syrup, ¼ teaspoon of cinnamon, ⅛ teaspoon of kosher salt, and ¼ teaspoon of vanilla extract. Mix thoroughly.
  4. Lower the heat to a gentle low and partially cover the saucepan. Cook the oats for about 8 minutes, stirring every minute.
  5. After cooking, remove from heat and stir in 1 tablespoon of almond butter. Mix until thoroughly combined.
  6. If the oats have thickened more than desired, gradually add additional almond milk to adjust consistency.
  7. Spoon your creamy almond-milk oats into bowls and get creative with toppings!
