Oatmeal and apples

This warm and comforting oatmeal and apples recipe is perfect for a nutritious breakfast or a cozy snack. Combining hearty multi-grain oatmeal with the natural sweetness of apples and almond milk, and finishing with a hint of brown sugar, this dish offers both flavor and health benefits.

Ingredients:

1/2 cup multi-grain oatmeal
40g
1 tsp brown sugar
3.20g
1 apple
180g
1 cup almond milk
240g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Apple:
- 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.
2. Cook the Oatmeal:
- 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.
3. Simmer the Mixture:
- 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.
4. Sweeten the Oatmeal:
- 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.
5. Serve:
- 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.
6. Optional Garnishes:
- For added flavor and texture, consider topping your oatmeal with a sprinkle of cinnamon, a handful of chopped nuts, or a drizzle of honey.
7. Enjoy:
- 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.
