What is fall without an awesome apple recipe? With the weather cooling down and everything, I figured a warm breakfast oatmeal recipe would be perfect. :D This was adapted from ohsheglows!
It’s somewhat of a calorie bomb, but the ingredients are good for you and it keeps you full forever! I actually split this over the course of two breakfasts since my appetite isn’t all that wonderful way early in the morning, but have at it!
Apple Pie Oatmeal
- 1/3 cup rolled oats
- 1 1/4 cups organic vanilla soy milk (or your choice of milk)
- 1 medium gala apple, chopped
- 1/2 unsweetened applesauce
- 1 tbsp chia seeds
- 1 tbsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp ground ginger
- 1 tbsp walnuts, coarsely chopped
- dash of sea salt
Instructions:
- In a small pot over medium heat, whisk together the rolled oats, apple, chia seeds, applesauce, milk, cinnamon, ginger and salt.
- Heat over medium heat for ~8 minutes, stirring often, until mixture thickens and liquid is absorbed.
- Pour into a bowl and sprinkle with chopped walnuts and a pinch of cinnamon.

I love apples in the fall and I’m always topping my oatmeal with it too!

Agreed! I need to go get some apples. <3 Epic shopping list, here we come!
Any way to incorporate more protein?

Yes indeed! You could throw in an egg into a pot with the other ingredients, or a scoop of vanilla (or whatever flavor you think would go with this, haha) protein powder! :]
Chocolate peanut butter it is. =p

haha, I’m kinda of the belief that apples go with almost anything, so that sounds good to me! :P
I am trying to include more chia seeds in my diet. I totally might tweek this and give it a try, it sounds wonderful.

I’ve found that they’re rather awesome with keeping me fuller for longer periods of time! :]
My appetite is huge in the morning b/c I work out then. I pinned this to try! Thanks!

I need to start working out in the morning again! Turning myself into a morning person is a very slow process though. :x
I hope you like it! :]
This sounds delicious! I just started eating hot oatmeal about a month ago so I am always excited when I see new recipes :)

I thought about topping my oatmeal with apples today (but I didn’t because I was too lazy to chop one)… now you have me rethinking my decision!

Looks good! I love the “fall” spices–cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger.
