Place rolled oats, diced apple, cinnamon, salt, milk of choice, and optional sweetener in a medium saucepan.

Once the porridge is thick, divide it into bowls and serve hot with your choice of toppings.

Once the oatmeal has cooled, refrigerate the remaining oatmeal in an airtight container for up to 5 days.

sautéed apple cinnamon oats

For a quick morning meal, I like to put everything together in one pot and cook it all at once until thick and creamy.

Heat a little coconut oil or butter (or vegetable butter) in a small saucepan. Stir in the diced apples and cinnamon and sauté for 5 minutes or until apples are tender.

Sautéed apples go great with vegan pancakes

For those who prefer to use a food scale instead of a measuring cup or spoon, the gram measurement to use is:

480 grams of milk of your choice, 90 grams of rolled oats, 150 grams of diced apples (measured after dicing). Don’t forget the salt and cinnamon.
