Ingredients

1 cup water 1 cup apple cider 1 cup rolled oats 1 Granny Smith apple, diced 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon ½ teaspoon vanilla extract ¼ cup hemp milk ¼ cup hemp seeds

02 / HOW TO MAKE IT

Let's cook.

Step 1

Start by bringing 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.

Cook's tip

- Use rolled oats for a creamier texture or steel-cut oats for a chewier bite.
- Stir frequently to prevent the oats from sticking to the pot.

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.
