Easy Oatmeal Without Milk (Vegan)

Oatmeal without milk or any dairy products can be made easily at home for breakfast.

You can use plain water to cook the oatmeal or you can use coconut milk or almond milk or cashew milk or any other plant based ingredients to make the oatmeal.

This is a yummy vegan apple cinnamon oatmeal recipe without sugar, as we are using pure fresh maple syrup to sweeten the oatmeal and it makes a delicious breakfast or brunch perfect for any busy morning including holidays.

You can make delicious oatmeal without milk using any of the above mentioned plant based milks or just using water, fruits, nuts and maybe dried fruits like raisins, apricots, prunes, dates.

The options are many when it comes to what to add to your vegan oatmeal without milk.

Fruits like chopped apples, bananas, blueberries, peaches are all my favorites for adding to my oatmeal.

One thing I especially love to use when I make the dairy free oatmeal is pure fresh maple syrup, which not only sweetens the oatmeal, but also adds a wonderful flavor to the dairy free oatmeal.

You may also try other natural sweeteners like vegan honey, stevia or whatever sweetener you like even if it is white sugar. However white sugar do not have any specific flavor, as it is plain and only adds sweetness to the oatmeal.

I highly recommend using pure fresh maple syrup in vegan oatmeal without milk.

Another ingredient that adds much flavor to the dairy free oatmeal (other kinds of oatmeal too) is cinnamon powder. Always try to use organic ceylon cinnamon powder if you use it regularly, as it is the best!

In this oatmeal recipe without milk, I chose a combination of apples and cinnamon, which is great when paired together.

You can also enjoy the delicious oatmeal with maple syrup, apples, flax seed powder and raisins for breakfast, brunch, snack or dinner.

I made this oatmeal without milk in a microwave to make it easy and more quick. Just make sure you use a good quality microwave safe bowl.

I highly recommend using ceramic bowl, as plastic bowls may not hold well for long when you cook in microwave.

So here is how I made this yummy oatmeal without milk following this vegan dairy free oatmeal recipe for breakfast.
