Ingredients
Scale
- 3–4 cups oatmeal
- Water or oat milk (enough to cover the oats)
- 1–2 tablespoons maple syrup (adjust to taste)
- 1 apple, chopped
- 1 mashed banana
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon cardamom
- 1/4 cup raisins
Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Measure out your oatmeal and gather the other ingredients.
- Cook Oats: In a medium pot, bring water or oat milk to a gentle boil. Add the oatmeal and reduce the heat to a simmer.
- Add Fruit and Spices: Stir in the chopped apple, mashed banana, cinnamon, and cardamom. Continue to simmer, stirring occasionally, until the oats are soft and the mixture has thickened, about 10-15 minutes.
- Sweeten: Stir in the maple syrup and raisins. Adjust the sweetness to your liking.
- Serve: Scoop the oatmeal into bowls and enjoy warm.
Notes
- Creamier Oatmeal: For an extra creamy texture, use oat milk instead of water and cook the oats a bit longer.
- Toppings: Add your favorite toppings such as nuts, seeds, or fresh berries for extra flavor and texture.
- Storage: Leftover oatmeal can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat with a splash of water or oat milk to loosen the texture.
Enjoy the comforting warmth and goodness of homemade oatmeal, a perfect start to your day!
