Spiced Apple Oatmeal

October 24, 2014

Fall weather means (or almost) sweater weather. :)
However…it also means lots of heart-warming fall flavours aka cinnamon, nutmeg, apples, pumpkin, spice and everything nice!

So, I am sharing with you guys a heart-warming breakfast for a guaranteed great start to a chilly Fall day: spiced apple oatmeal.  It basically tastes like a delicious APPLE PIE IN A BOWL but with a bit more spice (because I loooove cinnamon)!  This recipe can be vegetarian and vegan friendly if you omit the egg whites.








The thing I love about oatmeal is that you can top them with whatever you want!  I topped my spiced apple oatmeal with a dried fig, apple slices, granola, coconut, dark chocolate, almond butter and some almonds.  If you really want...you could even sprinkle some more cinnamon on top!



Chow & Enjoy!

Spiced Apple Oatmeal

__________________________________________

Serves 1

1/3 cup almond milk
1/3 cup water
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp ground ginger
1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
1/3 cup oats
1 apple (cut half of the apple into cubes)
2 tbsp unsweetened applesauce
1 to 2 tbsp rainsins/sultanas
1 tsp natural vanilla extract
Optional:1/4 cup egg whites for some extra protein


Pour almond milk and water into a pot.  Stir in cinnamon, ginger and nutmeg.  Bring the liquid and spices to a boil. Stir in oats, cubed apples and apple sauce.  Turn the heat down to low and let the oats and apple cook for about 10-15 minutes or until they're fluffy and cooked.  You can add a splash of almond milk if you like (to thin it out).  After the oats are cooked and apple is soft, stir in raisins/sultanas, vanilla extract and egg whites (if using). Let it simmer for 5 minutes. Meanwhile, slice the other half of the apple and use them to top off your oatmeal. Serve warm.
