Cozy Apple Cinnamon Oatmeal
A quick and easy bowl of oatmeal that's perfect for fall! This cozy bowl is sweetened with apples and spiced with cinnamon and a pinch of nutmeg.
Servings 2
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 2 cups unsweetened almond milk (or other milk of choice)
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 1 large apple
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- Pinch of nutmeg
Optional Toppings:
- Pecans or walnuts, roughly chopped
- Ground flaxseed
- Almond or pecan butter
Instructions
- Add the oats, milk, chia seeds, cinnamon and nutmeg in a small saucepan. Cut the apple in half and set one half aside. Peel and shred the other half and stir in with the oats.
- Bring the oats to a boil, then reduce heat to low-medium heat and simmer until thick and creamy, about 5 minutes.
- Transfer to 2 bowls and top with the remaining apple (diced) and other desired toppings.
Notes
This oatmeal is lightly sweetened with apples. If you want sweeter oats, add maple syrup or brown sugar to taste. I also recommend a sweet variety of apple, such as gala or honey crisp.
You can cook the entire apple into the oats, instead of keeping half for a topping.
