Ingredients
1 cup rolled oats
1 cup plant-based milk (oat or almond)
1 cup water
1/4 cup peanut butter caramel
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon (for oats)
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon (for apples)
1/4 tsp salt
1 medium Honeycrisp apple, diced
1 tsp coconut oil
1/8 tsp ground ginger
1/8 tsp ground nutmeg
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine oats, plant-based milk, water, peanut butter caramel, vanilla extract, half the cinnamon, and salt.
Place over medium heat and stir frequently for 6 to 8 minutes until the mixture is thick and creamy.
In a separate small skillet, heat coconut oil over medium-low heat.
Add the diced apples, the remaining cinnamon, ground ginger, and ground nutmeg.
Sauté the apples until they are soft and golden brown, approximately 5 to 7 minutes.
Divide the cooked oatmeal into two bowls.
Top each bowl with the caramelized apples and serve warm.
Notes
Ensure the peanut butter caramel is at room temperature to incorporate easily into the oats. You can customize this by topping with toasted nuts or seeds for extra crunch. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days; reheat with a splash of water to restore the creamy consistency.
