Ingredients:

1 cup water
240g
1 tsp vanilla extract
4.20g
1/4 tsp cinnamon
0.65g
1/2 cup oats
40g
1/2 cup blueberries
77g
2 apples
360g
1/8 cup walnuts
14g
1 tbsp flaxseed
7g
1/4 cup raisins
36g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Apples:
- Start by peeling, coring, and dicing the apples into small, bite-sized pieces.
2. Cook the Oatmeal:
- In a medium saucepan, bring 1 cup of water to a boil.
- Reduce the heat to medium and add 1/2 cup of oats to the boiling water.
- Stir in the diced apples and cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the oats and apples are tender.
3. Flavor the Oatmeal:
- Add 1 tsp of vanilla extract and 1/4 tsp of cinnamon to the oatmeal mixture. Stir well to combine.
4. Add the Blueberries and Raisins:
- Gently fold in 1/2 cup of blueberries and 1/4 cup of raisins. Allow the mixture to cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, until the blueberries just begin to soften and release their juices.
5. Incorporate Walnuts and Flaxseed:
- Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in 1/8 cup of roughly chopped walnuts and 1 tbsp of flaxseed.
6. Serve:
- Transfer the cinnamon blueberry apple oatmeal to serving bowls.
- If desired, you can garnish with a sprinkle of extra cinnamon or a few additional walnut pieces.
7. Enjoy:
- Serve warm and enjoy this nutritious and flavorful oatmeal as a hearty breakfast or a wholesome snack!

Tips:

- Use fresh, ripe apples and blueberries for the best flavor and texture.

- Toast the walnuts in a dry pan for a few minutes before adding them to the oatmeal to enhance their flavor.

- If you prefer a creamier oatmeal, consider substituting some or all of the water with milk or a dairy-free milk alternative.

- For added sweetness, drizzle a bit of honey or maple syrup over the oatmeal just before serving.

- Prepare all the ingredients the night before for a quick and easy morning routine.
