Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1 piece apple (grated or finely chopped)
  • 1 piece carrot (grated)
  • 2 cups milk or plant-based alternative
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup or honey (optional)
  • 1 tsp cinnamon

  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 cup walnuts or pecans (optional)
  • 1 tbsp chia seeds or flaxseeds (optional for added nutrition)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a medium saucepan, bring the milk to a gentle simmer.
  2. Stir in the oats, grated apple, grated carrot, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
  3. Cook for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally until the oatmeal reaches your desired consistency.
  4. Stir in maple syrup or honey if desired.
  5. Garnish with nuts, seeds, or additional apple slices for added crunch.

Notes

For a chewier texture, use steel-cut oats. Add a splash of vanilla extract or a spoonful of yogurt or nut butter for extra creaminess.
