APPLE CINNAMON OATMEAL WITH CARAMELIZED APPLES + PECANS

Sooo…I’ve been sitting here wondering what to call this bowl of delicious apple oatmeal for a little while now. My sister’s suggestions were “apple pie oatmealiciousness” and “caramel apple oatmeal extravaganza” and while more exciting than my usual recipe titles, not exactly SEO friendly or very self-explanatory.

I finally decided on Apple Cinnamon Oatmeal, but MAN how boring does that sound? It reminds me of the instant oatmeal packets from childhood – remember those? And the weird, thin, almost chalky oatmeal it made?

This apple cinnamon oatmeal is such a far cry from those sad breakfast days, so I had to include the “with Caramelized Apples + Pecans” because that wonderfully delicious topping is one of the main reasons this oatmeal is so good.

Ingredients

• ⅓ cup rolled oats gluten free if necessary
• 1 small apple peeled and diced into bite-sized pieces
• ⅓ cup 100% pure apple juice
• ⅓ cup non-dairy milk I used almond
• ½ teaspoon cinnamon
• ⅛ teaspoon nutmeg
• 1 tablespoon maple syrup or add to taste
• For the toppings
• ½ apple peeled and diced into bite-sized pieces
• 1 tablespoon coconut oil
• 2 tablespoons coconut sugar
• 2 tablespoons chopped pecans

Instructions

1. In a small saucepan, combine oats, diced apples, apple juice, almond milk, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Simmer until liquid has absorbed into the oats, stirring frequently to prevent burning, for about 8-10 minutes. Add maple syrup to taste.
