Ingredients for Apricot Honey Oatmeal

  • 1 cup water
  • Dried Apricot
  • 2 tablespoons honey, plus extra for serving
  • 1/2 cup rolled oats (quick-cooking or old-fashioned)
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, plus extra for serving

How to Make Apricot Honey Oatmeal

  1. Combine 1 cup water, 1/2 cup chopped dried apricots, 2 tablespoons honey, and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon in a medium saucepan.
  2. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat.
  3. Stir in 1/2 cup rolled oats (quick-cooking or old-fashioned).
  4. Return to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer. Cook for 1 minute for quick-cooking oats or 5 minutes for old-fashioned oats, stirring occasionally, until the oats are cooked through and the liquid is absorbed.
  5. Remove from heat and stir in 1 tablespoon of butter (optional).
  6. Serve immediately, sprinkled with extra cinnamon and a drizzle of honey to taste.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
