Why It Works
  • The combination of oats, almond milk, and water creates a creamy and flavorful base for the oatmeal.
  • The chopped apple adds a touch of sweetness and crunch, while the cinnamon and maple syrup add warmth and depth of flavor.
  • The oatmeal is cooked over medium heat, which allows the oats to cook through without scorching.
  • The oatmeal is allowed to sit for a few minutes before serving, which allows the oats to absorb the remaining liquid and become even creamier.
