Description

This cinnamon sugar apple oatmeal is the epitome of a healthy fall breakfast. Think ultra creamy vanilla oatmeal topped with caramelized cinnamon sugar apples with a sprinkle of granola for added crunch.


Ingredients

Scale

Vanilla Oatmeal

  • ½ cup Quick oats
  • ½ scoop Vanilla Protein powder ((optional))
  • 1 tbsp Sunflower butter or Nut butter of choice
  • 1 cup Cashew milk + ¼ Water
  • ½ tsp Vanilla extract
  • ½ tsp Pink himalayan salt

Cinnamon Sugar Apples

  • 1 medium Honey crisp apple ((or any variety you prefer))
  • 1 tbsp Coconut sugar
  • 1 tsp Ceylon cinnamon
  • 3 tbsp Water ((use as needed to deglaze the pan))
  • Pinch of salt

Additional Toppings

  • Honey
  • Hemp seeds, nuts or granola

Instructions

Vanilla Oatmeal

  1. Simply add in all the oatmeal bowl ingredients into a pot, and bring it to a boil. Once boiling, stir the oats and turn down the heat down to low. Let the oatmeal cook away for 5-6 minutes. The longer you let the oatmeal cook, the creamier and softer it'll be.
  2. During this time, you can start cooking the caramelized apples. Make sure to occasionally stir the oatmeal and add additional water as needed.

Cinnamon Sugar Apples

  1. Begin by slicing the apple as thin as you possibly can. You can also cut the apples into small cubes if you prefer that shape. Add the sliced apples into a pan with the coconut sugar, cinnamon water and salt.
  2. Turn the pan on high heat and let the apples cook without stirring until the water begins to bubble and boil. Once the water is boiling, turn the heat down to medium-low and let the apples continue to cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add a few dashes of water if needed to deglaze the pan. Continue to cook the apples until they are super soft and brown in color.

Assembly

  1. At this point the apples and oatmeal should be done. Simply pop the oatmeal into a bowl and add on the caramelized apples. Finish the bowl off with a drizzle of honey and sprinkle of granola or hemp seeds.

Notes

Note that the granola topping is completely optional, it just adds a nice crunch. Almonds, hazelnuts or sunflower seeds would also add a nice crunch too.
