Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Start by washing the apple under cool running water.
- Peel the apple if you prefer a smoother texture, or leave the skin on for added fiber and nutrients.
- Core the apple to remove seeds, then dice it into small, bite-sized pieces.
- In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the multi-grain oatmeal and the almond milk.
- Stir in the diced apple pieces.
- Place the saucepan over medium heat, bringing the mixture to a gentle boil while stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
- Once it starts to boil, reduce the heat to low.
- Let the oatmeal mixture simmer for about 5-7 minutes, or until the oatmeal has thickened and the apple pieces have softened to your liking. Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking.
- Stir in the brown sugar until it's fully dissolved and evenly distributed throughout the oatmeal. Adjust the sweetness to taste if necessary by adding a bit more sugar.
- Once the oatmeal has reached your desired consistency and the apples are tender, remove the saucepan from heat.
- Spoon the oatmeal into a serving bowl.
- For added flavor and texture, consider topping your oatmeal with a sprinkle of cinnamon, a handful of chopped nuts, or a drizzle of honey.
- Serve immediately while warm. Enjoy your nutritious and delicious oatmeal with apples!
Tips:
- Choose a crisp apple variety like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp to add a delightful crunch to your oatmeal.
- Feel free to adjust the sweetness by adding more or less brown sugar according to your taste preferences.
- For added texture and flavor, consider topping your oatmeal with a sprinkle of cinnamon, a handful of nuts, or some dried fruits.
- To make the oatmeal creamier, cook it longer on a lower heat, stirring frequently.
- If you prefer a thicker consistency, reduce the amount of almond milk slightly.
Your oatmeal and apples are now ready to enjoy! This simple yet delicious recipe provides a balanced and satisfying meal that's rich in fiber and essential nutrients. It's a great way to start your day or recharge in the afternoon.
