Apple Cinnamon Oatmeal
Cozy up with a sweet and delicious bowl of apple cinnamon oatmeal. With only seven ingredients, this easy fall-inspired breakfast will keep you full and satisfied.
Ingredients
- 1 tsp butter
- ½ honeycrisp apple, skin-on and diced small
- ½ tsp cinnamon
- ½ cup old fashioned oats
- 1 cup milk
- pinch salt
- ½ Tbsp maple syrup
Optional toppings
- chopped pecans, extra maple syrup, extra cinnamon
Equipment
- small pot
Instructions
- Add your pot to the stove and heat to medium.
- Melt butter. Add apple and cinnamon, and stir. Cook for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until apples are slightly softened and browned.
- Add oats, milk, salt, and maple syrup. Stir.
- Stay close to the stove until the milk starts steaming and lightly bubbling. Then, stir occasionally and continue cooking until oats have thickened and absorbed most excess liquid. This takes about 4-5 minutes on my stove, but it will depend on your stove and the size of your pot. The longer your cook the oats, the thicker your apple cinnamon oatmeal will be.
- Transfer to a bowl. Add toppings of choice and enjoy immediately!
Notes
- Swap honeycrisp apple for any type you love.
- Feel free to use a whole apple instead of half, and save half to top your oats. Bonus: this will add a few grams of extra fiber too!
- You can stir in extra maple syrup if you like sweeter oats.
- Nutrition facts are calculated without toppings.
- Make this dairy-free by using plant-based butter and a non-dairy milk.
