Ingredients List
- 1 cup (90g) oatmeal
- 150 ml (about ⅔ cup) warm milk (you can use any milk of your choice, such as almond or oat milk)
- 2 apples, peeled and diced
- 20g (1 ½ tablespoons) butter, melted
- 1/2 teaspoon vanillin (or vanilla extract)
- 2 large eggs
Instructions
-
Prepare the Apples
- Peel and dice the apples into small cubes. Set aside.
-
Cook the Oatmeal
- In a saucepan, add the oatmeal and warm milk. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the oats have softened and absorbed the milk, about 5–7 minutes.
- Once the oatmeal has cooked, remove it from the heat.
-
Prepare the Egg Mixture
- In a small bowl, beat the eggs, melted butter, and vanillin (or vanilla extract). Stir until well combined.
-
Combine and Cook the Apples
- In another pan, melt a small amount of butter over medium heat and cook the diced apples until they soften slightly, about 3–5 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent burning.
-
Mix Oatmeal with Apple Mixture
- Add the egg mixture to the cooked oatmeal and stir quickly to prevent the eggs from scrambling. Allow it to cook for another 1–2 minutes, until the mixture thickens and becomes creamy.

Serve and Enjoy
- Divide the oatmeal into two bowls, topping each with the sautéed apples. Optionally, you can sprinkle a bit of cinnamon or a drizzle of honey for extra flavor.
