3. Sweeten and flavor – Stir in honey (or maple syrup) and vanilla. Mix well.

• Spices – ground cinnamon, nutmeg, or cardamom
• Nut butter – almond butter or peanut butter for extra creaminess
• Extra sweetness – a drizzle of honey, maple syrup, or date syrup

Tips

• Stir often – to avoid sticking and get a creamy texture.
• Adjust consistency – add more almond milk if you like it thinner, or cook longer for thicker oatmeal.
• Make it ahead – cook a larger batch and reheat with a splash of milk.
• Use rolled oats – for a heartier texture instead of instant oats.

• Apple cinnamon oatmeal – add apple chunks and a pinch of cinnamon while cooking.
