Steel-cut oats with apples and pecans

By Totlxtc

Ingredients

• 1 * 1 cup almond milk
• 1 * 1 cup quick-cooking steel-cut oats
• 2 * 2 apples, cored and chopped into 1/2-inch pieces
• 1/2 * 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 4.5 * 4.5 teaspoons organic maple syrup, honey, or agave nectar
• 1/3 * 1/3 cup chopped pecans or walnuts, toasted

Preparation

Step 1

In a medium saucepan, combine the almond milk, 1 cup water and the oats. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to low, cover and simmer until most of the liquid is absorbed, for 10 to 12 minutes. Turn off the heat and let stand, covered, for 5 minutes.

While the oatmeal is cooking, in a small saucepan, place the apples, cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon of the maple syrup and 1 tablespoon water. Cook over medium heat until the apples are softened and the liquid has reduced to a syrupy consistency, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in the pecans and cover to keep warm.

Stir the apples and nuts into the cooked and rested oatmeal. Divide among four bowls. Drizzle 1 teaspoon maple syrup over each bowl and serve.
