Maple Brown Sugar Oatmeal

Maple Brown Sugar Oatmeal

Yes, this brown sugar maple oatmeal is a gluten-free breakfast recipe. However, oats can be processed in the same facility as gluten-containing ingredients, like wheat and barley, so there’s a cross-contamination risk. If you’re highly sensitive to gluten and want to minimize exposure, look for oats that are certified gluten-free to be on the safe side.

Ingredients :

• 4 cups water
• 2 cups old-fashioned oats
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 3 tablespoons 2% milk
• 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
• 3 tablespoons maple syrup
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, optional
• 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans, optional

Directions

1. Place water in a large saucepan; bring to a boil. Stir in oats and salt; reduce heat to low. Cook 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until oats are soft. Remove from heat; stir in milk, brown sugar and maple syrup. Cover; let sit 3-4 minutes. Stir in cinnamon and top with nuts, if desired.
