    apple cinnamon oatmeal

    I came up with this simple recipe for apple cinnamon oatmeal one morning when I didn’t have any bananas for breakfast and I’m not a fan of raw apples in my oatmeal.  Chop the apples into small bite-size pieces so they cook with the oatmeal in the microwave.  Then outcomes a delightfully baked apple for breakfast.  I included a chopped date to add a little sweetness, but a dash of maple syrup would also work.  The lemon juice will add a little tartness but can be left out.  A dash of cinnamon for some flavor and almost warming effect.  Top with some ground flaxseed for your daily dose of omega-3 fats.  Then chopped walnuts or pecans for a little crunch.

    For this recipe, I used a  Honey-crisp apple, but any kind will work.  A Granny Smith apple would be a nice touch and it would make the dish a little more tart.  Just use your favorite apple or what's on sale.  With this recipe, it only takes a few minutes to have a warm healthy breakfast for those cool crisp fall mornings.

    If you enjoy quick and healthy microwave oatmeal for breakfast I also have a cinnamon raisin oatmeal recipe on my blog.

    Allie’s note= how long it takes to cook will vary depending on your microwave and your desired consistency.

    I hope you enjoy the apple cinnamon oatmeal!

    Description

    Healthy and simple apple cinnamon oatmeal that tastes like apple pie.


    Ingredients

    Scale
    • ½ cup old fashioned oats
    • 1 apple (diced)
    • 1 date (diced) (optional)
    • ¾ cup plant-based milk or water
    • ¼ teaspoon lemon juice (optional)
    • 1 teaspoon ground flax seed
    • 6 pecans or walnuts halves (chopped)
    • Dash of cinnamon

    Instructions

    1. Dice the apple small enough to cook in the microwave and dice the date (if using) small enough to get lots of little bits throughout the oatmeal.
    2. In a microwave-safe bowl combine the oats, diced apple, diced date, lemon juice, and plant-based milk.
    3. Heat in the microwave for about 2-2.5 minutes. Times will vary depending on your microwave and your desired consistency for the oatmeal.
    4. Let it cool for at least a minute in the microwave.
    5. Add the ground flaxseed, a dash of cinnamon, and the chopped pecans or walnuts.  If you used water add a splash of milk after cooking to make it creamy.
    6. Stir to combine and enjoy.
