Oats
- 40 g gluten-free oats
- 200 ml milk or your choice of milk
- 200 ml water
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 2 tsp chia seeds
Caramelised Apples
- 2 red apples chopped
- 2 tbsp maple syrup
- ½ tbsp coconut oil
- 2 tsp cinnamon
Cooking the Oats
In a saucepan, combine oats, milk, water, cinnamon, and chia seeds. Stir well and bring to a simmer over low heat.
Cook the oats on low heat, stirring occasionally, until thickened and creamy, about 10-12 minutes. Add more water if you prefer thinner oats.
Caramelising the Apples
Chop the apples into small cubes and add to a frying pan. Add coconut oil, maple syrup, and cinnamon.
Cook on low heat, stirring occasionally, for 10-15 minutes until apples are soft and the sauce is thick and sticky.
- Low and slow cooking yields the best texture for oats.
- Add extra water if you prefer a thinner consistency.
- Garnish options: pecans and pumpkin seeds for added crunch and nutrition.
