Ingredients
- 1 cup organic steel-cut oats
- 3 cups filtered water
- 1 cup whole milk or oat milk
- 1 organic apple (grated, skin on)
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp fine sea salt
- 1/3 cup raw walnuts (chopped, toasted)
- 2 tbsp raw honey or maple syrup (to taste)
Instructions
-
Toast the walnuts in a dry skillet over medium heat for 3–4 minutes until fragrant. Set aside.
-
In a heavy saucepan, combine oats, water, milk, grated apple, cinnamon, and salt. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce to a low simmer.
-
Cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, for 20–25 minutes until the oats are tender and the porridge has thickened.
-
Remove from heat and let stand 5 minutes — it will thicken more as it sits.
-
Divide into bowls. Top each with a drizzle of honey or maple syrup and a generous spoonful of toasted walnuts.
Make ahead: Cook a double batch and refrigerate for up to 5 days. Reheat with a splash of milk.
