Description

A warm and comforting Maple and Brown Sugar Oatmeal recipe perfect for a quick and nutritious breakfast. Creamy rolled oats cooked with cinnamon and sweetened naturally with pure maple syrup and brown sugar, topped with your favorite nuts or fruits for added texture and flavor.


Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 2 cups water or milk (or a combination of both)
  • 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • Pinch of salt

Optional Toppings

  • Chopped nuts
  • Raisins
  • Sliced bananas
  • Drizzle of additional maple syrup


Instructions

  1. Boil liquid: In a medium saucepan, bring the water or milk to a gentle boil over medium heat, creating the perfect base to cook your oats.
  2. Cook oats: Stir in the rolled oats, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 5-7 minutes while stirring occasionally until the oats are tender and the mixture thickens to a creamy consistency.
  3. Add sweetness: Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the pure maple syrup and brown sugar until fully dissolved, infusing the oatmeal with rich natural sweetness.
  4. Serve and garnish: Spoon the warm oatmeal into bowls and top with your favorite optional toppings such as chopped nuts, raisins, sliced bananas, or an extra drizzle of maple syrup for added flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Use milk instead of water for creamier oatmeal.
  • Adjust sweetness by adding more or less maple syrup or brown sugar according to taste.
  • Cook oats on low heat to prevent burning and ensure even cooking.
  • Add toppings just before serving to keep them fresh and crunchy.
  • For vegan option, use plant-based milk like almond or oat milk.
