Ingredients Needed:

• 1/2 cup quick-cooking oatmeal
• 1 cup hot water
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons half-and-half
• 1 teaspoon maple syrup
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon raisins
• 1 teaspoon white raisins
• 1/2 teaspoon Craisins
• 1 tablespoon chopped red delicious apple
• 1 tablespoon chopped granny smith apple

How To Make Fruit and Maple Oatmeal?

1. Prepare the oatmeal: Add oatmeal to a microwave-safe bowl. Pour in hot water, salt, and half and half, then microwave for 1 minute. Stir well.
2. Add the sweetness: Stir in maple syrup to give the oatmeal a warm, sweet flavor.
3. Top with fruit: Sprinkle brown sugar, raisins, white raisins, Craisins, and chopped apples on top. Enjoy

Recipe Tips:

• Use Hot Water for the Best Texture: Adding hot water instead of cold helps the oats soften quickly and makes them creamy without overcooking.
• Don’t Skip the Half and Half: This makes the oatmeal rich and smooth. If you don’t have half and half, use milk or cream for a similar result.
• Mix Maple Syrup Before Adding Toppings: Stirring the syrup into the oatmeal first helps the flavor spread evenly instead of just sitting on top.
• Chop Apples into Small Pieces: Smaller apple pieces mix better into the oatmeal and give a nice crunch in every bite.
• Add Brown Sugar Last for a Caramelized Taste: Sprinkling brown sugar on top instead of mixing it in lets it melt slightly, creating a deeper, caramel-like sweetness.

How To Store & Reheat Leftovers?

• Refrigerate: Let the leftover oatmeal cool to room temperature. Then, transfer it to an airtight container and store it in the fridge for up to 2 days.
• Reheat: Heat the oatmeal in a small pot over low heat, adding a little milk or water to loosen it. Stir constantly until warmed through.
