How To Make Maple Nut Oatmeal
Pour the milk into a large saucepan, and bring it to a gentle boil on medium heat. Once it begins to boil, add the rolled oats to the pan, and stir to combine.
Add the butter and a pinch of salt to the oats. Cook this mixture on medium heat for 5 minutes, stirring often. The milk will reduce in volume as it is absorbed into the oats.
Add The Good Stuff!
When you have finished cooking the oatmeal for 5 minutes, remove the pan from direct heat. Stir in the chopped apples, raisins, walnuts (or pecans), maple syrup and cinnamon.
Stir well, to fully combine all the ingredients in the maple nut oatmeal. Immediately divide the hot oatmeal into individual portions in serving bowls.
Serving Maple Nut Oatmeal
To serve the maple nut oatmeal, add a bit of additional milk (if desired) and stir to the consistency you prefer (oatmeal will be thick).
Drizzle a little maple syrup over the top of each serving OR sprinkle each portion with a teaspoon of brown sugar (optional but recommended).
Grab a spoon, and enjoy this delicious breakfast! Creamy, crunchy, and chewy, this maple nut oatmeal tastes great, and it is very filling! I think you’re gonna love it!
Any leftover oatmeal can be stored in an airtight container for 2-3 days and can be easily reheated in a microwave. You will probably want to stir in a little bit more milk before microwaving it to ensure a creamy texture.
This recipe can be easily doubled in case you have a larger family or want to have extra maple nut oatmeal pre-made in the fridge for quick, filling breakfasts on the go!
Thanks for stopping by today. I hope you have the opportunity to make this yummy and “not boring” oatmeal for yourself or those you love. Have a wonderful day and come back soon!

Maple Nut Oatmeal, with apples, raisins, pecans (or walnuts) and maple syrup is an easy, filling, delicious breakfast everyone will enjoy!
- 1¾ cup milk (I used 1%)
- 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1½ teaspoons butter
- 1 pinch salt
- ½ cup unpeeled apple, chopped
- ¼ cup walnuts or pecans (chopped)
- ¼ cup raisins
- ⅛ cup real maple syrup
- ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
Pour milk into a large saucepan; bring it to a gentle boil on medium heat. Once it begins to boil, add the rolled oats; stir to combine. Add butter and salt to oats. Cook on medium heat for 5 minutes, stirring often. Milk will reduce in volume as it is absorbed into the oats.
When oatmeal has cooked for 5 minutes, remove the pan from the heat. Stir in chopped apples, raisins, walnuts (or pecans), maple syrup and cinnamon, until fully combined. Immediately divide hot oatmeal into individual portions and place in serving bowls.
Add a bit of additional milk (if desired) and stir to the consistency you prefer (oatmeal is thick). OPTIONAL BUT RECOMMENDED: Drizzle a little maple syrup over the top of each serving OR sprinkle each portion with a teaspoon of brown sugar. Serve hot, and enjoy!
