Equipment

  • 1 medium pot
  • 1 measuring cup
  • 1 Wooden spoon or spatula
  • 1 serving bowl

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 2 cups plant-based milk such as almond, oat, or coconut milk
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup or sweetener of choice
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon optional
  • 1/4 tsp vanilla extract optional
  • Pinch of salt optional
  • Toppings of your choice e.g., fresh fruit, nuts, seeds, nut butter

Instructions
 

  • Combine oats and milk: In a medium pot, add 1 cup of rolled oats and 2 cups of your chosen plant-based milk.
  • Cook the oatmeal: Place the pot over medium heat and bring the mixture to a simmer, stirring occasionally.
  • Simmer and stir: Let the oatmeal cook for about 5-10 minutes, stirring every few minutes to prevent it from sticking. Adjust the heat as needed to prevent boiling over.
  • Add flavorings: Once the oats have absorbed most of the milk and are at your desired consistency, stir in the maple syrup, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.
  • Serve: Pour the oatmeal into bowls and add your favorite toppings like fresh fruit, nuts, or nut butter. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Consistency: If you prefer thicker oatmeal, use less milk. For creamier oatmeal, add a little more milk during cooking or after it's finished.
  • Toppings: Experiment with different toppings, such as berries, banana slices, chia seeds, almond butter, or coconut flakes for added flavor and texture.
  • Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat with a splash of plant-based milk.
  • Make ahead: You can also prepare this oatmeal the night before and reheat it in the morning for a quick, no-cook option.
