A Fall Spiced Apple & Miso Overnight Oatmeal

This bowl of oatmeal transcends all my other oatmeal experiences. One word: miso. This oatmeal tastes like spiced apple pie and the miso adds a depth of flavor that is so satisfying. I tried out this recipe multiple ways, with cardamom, without, with allspice, without, and my conclusion is: the more spice the better. I like it best with cardamom.

½ Cup steel cut oats
2 Cups water
2½ Teaspoons white miso paste
½ Teaspoon salt (You might like less. I like my food salty.)
1 Tablespoon maple syrup
½ Teaspoon cinnamon
¼ Teaspoon ground nutmeg
¼ Teaspoon ground cardamom (break open the shell and grind the black seeds with a mortar and pestle)
1 Medium-sized honey crisp apple chopped into ½” chunks
Handful of pecans
Optional: For more creaminess add a pat of butter
Option 2: Substitute allspice for cardamom
