Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Start by peeling, coring, and dicing the apples into small, bite-sized pieces.
- 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.
- Add 1 tsp of vanilla extract and 1/4 tsp of cinnamon to the oatmeal mixture. Stir well to combine.
- 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.
- Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in 1/8 cup of roughly chopped walnuts and 1 tbsp of flaxseed.
- 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.
- 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.
