Caramel Oatmeal
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 cup plant-based milk
- 1 cup water
- 1/4 cup Peanut Butter Caramel
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon

Instructions
- Combine the oatmeal ingredients in a pot. This includes rolled oats, plant-based milk, water, peanut butter caramel, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt. Transfer the pot to a stovetop over medium heat. Cook for 6-8 minutes, stirring frequently, until thick and creamy.
- While the oatmeal is cooking, warm a skillet over medium-low heat. Lightly grease it with coconut oil (or nonstick spray). Add diced apple, ground cinnamon, ground ginger, and ground nutmeg. Cook for 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the apples are warm and soft.
- Serve the oatmeal with cooked apples on top. Add an extra drizzle of peanut butter caramel, chopped pecans, or any toppings of your choosing. Enjoy!
Notes
- Serve the oatmeal with any toppings of your choosing. I recommend serving it with extra peanut butter caramel and chopped nuts.
