Ingredients

For the oatmeal

For the maple pecans

Toppings

  • 1 apple chopped
  • 1 pear chopped
  • maple pecans roughly chopped
  • nut butter to drizzle
  • maple syrup to drizzle

Instructions

For the maple pecans

  • Add the pecans to a skillet heated over a medium heat and toast for 3-4 minutes until fragrant. Add the vanilla extract and maple syrup and stir until pecans are coated in bubbling maple syrup. Set aside on parchment paper and let cool.
    ⅓ cup pecans, 1 tablespoon maple syrup, ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract, pinch of sea salt flakes

For the oatmeal

  • Add the oats, cinnamon, salt and milk to a medium saucepan and bring to a simmer over a medium heat. Cook until the desired consistency, about 5-10 minutes. Once thickened, add the vanilla extract, brown sugar and maple syrup and stir to combine.
    1 cup rolled oats, 2 cups milk of choice, pinch of salt, ½ teaspoon cinnamon, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 2 tablespoons maple syrup, 2 tablespoons dark brown sugar
  • Top the oatmeal with your chosen toppings and enjoy!
    1 apple, 1 pear, maple pecans, nut butter, maple syrup

Notes

  • Nutrition includes maple pecans but not the additional toppings.
  • Stir constantly to create a super creamy oatmeal and prevent it from burning.
  • Add the maple syrup and brown sugar later on to avoid burning. 
  • Cook longer for a thicker oatmeal.
