    Ingredients

    • Oats - You probably saw this one coming!
    • Milk - Use dairy, almond, coconut, oat, soy or any other type of milk that you like.
    • Maple syrup - Real Canadian maple syrup has a lovely sweetness that can't be beat.

    How to make maple oatmeal

    For two portions of oatmeal, add porridge oats, milk and maple syrup to a pot. Combine and cook for approximately 5 minutes, or until the porridge has reached the desired consistency. Place in bowls, and serve with your choice of toppings. It is really that easy!

    Storing leftovers

    Leftover maple oatmeal can be stored in the fridge for up to 5 days. Serve it cold, or reheat it in the microwave before serving. This recipe is therefore perfect to prepare healthy breakfasts for the week ahead.

    Frequently asked questions

    Is maple oatmeal allergy friendly? - This dish is soy free, nut free and egg free. It can be made dairy free and vegan by using a plant based milk alternative, like almond milk. You can also make gluten free oatmeal by purchasing gluten free oats.

    Can I substitute the maple syrup? - Absolutely! You can omit the maple syrup, or substitute it with honey or agave syrup if you want to keep the sweetness.

    Ingredients
      

    • 100 g porridge oats
    • 300 ml milk (I used almond milk)
    • 3 teaspoon maple syrup

    Optional toppings

    • 1 tablespoon chopped pecans
    • 1 tablespoon pumpkin seeds
    • 2 teaspoon maple syrup

    Instructions
     

    • Add porridge oats, your choice of milk and 3 teaspoon maple syrup to a pot. Cook on medium heat for 5 minutes until you have porridge consistency.
    • Place in a bowl, and add toppings. I used pecans, pumpkin seeds and maple syrup, but feel free to use the ones you prefer.

    Notes

    Note: the calorie count does not include toppings.

    Try other toppings

    You can choose to exclude toppings altogether, or use other toppings if you prefer. I suggest trying walnuts, almonds, sunflower seeds, nut butters, banana, apples, cinnamon, roasted pumpkin or plums.

    Make it vegan and dairy-free

    Remember to use a dairy free milk if you want to make vegan oats. I always make my oats with almond milk, as that's my personal favorite, but this recipe can be made with oat milk, soy milk, or any other plant based milk, as well as cow's milk.

      I definitely prefer the idea of making my own oatmeal instead of buying the package stuff. This sounds delicious!
