Directions
Bring the water and apple cider to a boil in a medium saucepan. Once it’s boiling, stir in the oats, turn the heat down to low, and let it cook gently, stirring now and then, for about 3 minutes. Next, add the chopped apple, cinnamon, and vanilla extract. Keep cooking and stirring carefully until the oats are tender and the apples have softened, which should take another 3 minutes or so. Take the pan off the heat, then stir in the hemp milk and hemp seeds. Give everything a good mix, and it’s ready to enjoy.
Serving Ideas To Try
Try topping with fresh fruit like berries or sliced bananas for natural sweetness. A drizzle of honey or maple syrup can add extra flavor. You can also sprinkle some cinnamon or a handful of nuts for added texture.
How To Keep It Fresh
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave, adding a splash of milk or water to restore creaminess. Avoid freezing, as the texture may change.
