Is Oatmeal Vegan?
Yes, all simple whole forms of oats are vegan. Oats are simple whole grain foods; they are grown as a crop in fields, where they are dried and harvested. Then they are sorted and the processed every so slightly, such as rolling them into oats or cutting them into steel cut oats. This recipe calls for quick-cooking oats, which are partially cooked before they are bagged to cut back on your cooking time at home. The only time oats are not vegan is if they contain added ingredients, such as milk products, in the product formulation.
While this recipe is delicious with apples as a fall or winter time cereal, you can also swap out another seasonal fruit, such as berries, peaches, and persimmons. Plus, you can use steel cut oats or rolled oats in this recipe; just cook it over the stove or increase the microwave time as needed.
