This creamy oatmeal recipe is a versatile and delicious breakfast option, perfect for starting your day with a warm and satisfying meal.
Combine the oats, milk, and 4 cups of water in a large saucepan and bring to a gentle boil over medium heat.
Stir occasionally to prevent the oats from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
Reduce the heat to low and add the salt and cinnamon. Stir well to combine.
Adding spices at this stage allows their flavors to infuse into the oatmeal.
Peel, core, and chop the apple into small pieces. Slice the banana.
Cut the fruits into evenly sized pieces for consistent texture.
Add the chopped apple and banana slices to the oatmeal. Stir and let it simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Stirring occasionally prevents the oatmeal from sticking and ensures even cooking.
Stir in the maple syrup and mix well. Cook for an additional 2 minutes.
Adjust the sweetness to your preference by adding more or less maple syrup.
Serve the oatmeal warm in bowls, optionally garnished with a sprinkle of cinnamon or a drizzle of maple syrup.
For added texture, top with chopped nuts or a dollop of yogurt.
