Cuisine: American
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups gluten-free rolled oats
- 4 cups water or almond milk
- 2 ripe peaches, diced
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, combine gluten-free rolled oats, water (or almond milk), and pinch of salt. Stir ingredients together to ensure even distribution.
- Place the saucepan over medium-high heat and bring the mixture to a gentle boil, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking and ensure smooth consistency.
- Reduce heat to low and simmer the oats, continuing to stir intermittently, for approximately 10-12 minutes or until oats reach a creamy, tender texture.
- While oats are cooking, wash and dice the ripe peaches into small, uniform cubes, removing the pit and any tough sections.
- Once oats have reached desired consistency, remove from heat and stir in maple syrup and ground cinnamon, mixing thoroughly to incorporate flavors.
- Gently fold in most of the diced peaches, reserving some for garnish, allowing the fruit's natural warmth to blend with the oatmeal.
- Divide the oatmeal evenly among four serving bowls, topping each portion with the remaining fresh peach pieces.
- Optional: Drizzle additional maple syrup or sprinkle extra cinnamon on top for enhanced flavor and presentation.
- Serve immediately while warm, enjoying the comforting blend of sweet peaches, maple, and creamy oatmeal.
Tips
- Choose the Right Oats: Make sure to use certified gluten-free rolled oats to ensure your dish remains gluten-free and safe for those with sensitivities.
- Milk Alternatives: For a creamier texture, opt for almond milk or any other plant-based milk instead of water. This will enhance the flavor and richness of the oatmeal.
- Peach Perfection: Use ripe, juicy peaches for the best flavor. If peaches are out of season, feel free to substitute with other fruits like berries or apples.
- Customize Sweetness: Adjust the amount of maple syrup to suit your taste. You can also try adding a touch of vanilla extract for an extra layer of flavor.
- Toppings Galore: Don’t hesitate to get creative with toppings! Consider adding nuts, seeds, or a dollop of yogurt for added texture and nutrition.
- Make Ahead: Prepare the oatmeal in advance and store it in the fridge. Simply reheat and add fresh peaches and maple syrup before serving for a quick breakfast option.
- Serving Suggestion: Serve the oatmeal warm for the best experience, and consider pairing it with a side of scrambled eggs or a smoothie for a balanced meal.
