Apple Cinnamon Oatmeal
[Vegan, Gluten-Free]

For the Oatmeal:

1. Begin by pulsing dried apple rings in a food processor or blender to make small chunks.
2. To a small saucepan add oats, water, dairy-free milk, apple bits, chia seeds, cinnamon, and salt. If using brown sugar, add now. When using liquid sweeteners such as maple syrup or agave, you can add it when the oats are finished cooking
3. Bring to a boil, stirring frequently.
4. Reduce heat and allow to cook for a few minutes on low-medium heat (a little longer if using rolled oats).
5. Remove from heat and separate into 2 bowls (add liquid sweetener now if using).

For the Toppings

1. Top with (optional) goodies; chopped apples, walnuts, granola, hemp, etc!
2. Enjoy!
