As the weather starts to get cooler, there is simply nothing better than waking up in the morning and enjoying a sweet, warm bowl of oatmeal. Below you will find the absolute best, and easiest recipe for fall breakfast…Apple Cinnamon Oatmeal. Enjoy!

Ingredients:

2 apples

½ teaspoon cinnamon

2 cups water

1 cup rolled oats

¼ cup maple syrup

⅓ cup oat milk

Instructions:

1. Chop the apples into bite size pieces.
2. Place the apples into a saucepan and then add in the water and cinnamon. Bring the mixture to a boil, and cook the apples until they are tender. Then, scoop out the apples from the water, and set aside.
3. Pour the oats into the saucepan with the water from cooking the apples, bring to a boil and then reduce cooking for a total of 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally. 
4. Once the oatmeal is just about finished cooking add in the maple syrup, apples that you set aside, and oat milk. Stir to combine. 
5. Serve warm with more oat milk if desired. 

Ellie’s Notes: 

• You can use whatever type of apples you have, however I prefer Honeycrisp.
• Any type of milk works, but oat milk will give the dish a better texture, in my opinion.
• I love to top it off with chopped walnuts, and a sprinkle of cinnamon!
