I love recreating my favourite desserts into a wholesome breakfast meal. This warmly spiced apple pie oatmeal is lightly sweetened, very creamy and will keep you feeling energized throughout your morning. It's the perfect weekday or lazy weekend breakfast. I topped mine with some roasted cinnamon apples to give it a little extra crisp.
Heat pot on medium heat. Add chopped apple and cinnamon powder and roast for 1 minute. Then add milk, oats, vanilla, salt, nutmeg and almond butter until oats are soft and thickened (may vary depending on desired consistency) ~ 3-5 minutes, stirring often. (Note- for large flake oats or rolled oats see notes for cooking instructions).
Pour into a bowl and top with optional maple syrup and other desired toppings. Enjoy warm!
Notes:
1) If using large flake oats or rolled oats: First add oats, milk, vanilla, cinnamon, salt, almond butter and nutmeg to a pot heated on medium. Allow oats to soften and thicken slightly ~10-15 mins stirring often, then add chopped apple and cook for another 2-3 mins.
2) For roasted sliced apples on top: Heat skillet on medium and add 1 tsp vegan butter and 1/4 tsp cinnamon. Once butter melted add sliced apples and roast on each side for 1 minute until browned.
