Apple Pie Oatmeal

Here it is--my very first recipe post on this blog! I went with a basic favorite and super easy bowl of oats, even if it may seem more appropriate for a warm winter morning than a summer one! I love the flavors and spices involved in this recipe, and I hope ya'll do too!

Apple Pie Oatmeal

Serves: 1

Ingredients:

• 1/3 cup rolled or old-fashioned oats
• 3/4 cup water
• Splash of almond milk (or other milk of choice)
• My Seed Mix: 1/2 tsp flax + 1/2 tsp chia + 1/2 tsp hemp (optional)
• 1 small apple (I used gala), diced into very small pieces
• Spices (to taste): apple pie spice -or- lots of cinnamon + pinch of nutmeg + pinch of ginger
• Toppings of Choice (I used blackberries, homemade walnut butter, and melted coconut butter) 

Make It!

1. In a small sauce pan, bring water to boil. Lower heat to medium and add oats, seed mix, and apple. 
2. Once most of the water is absorbed, stir in spices.
3. Let remaining liquid absorb, stirring occasionally. 
4. Once oatmeal is very thick, add a splash of almond milk and stir.
5. Once oatmeal has reached desired consistency, transfer to a bowl. If too hot/thick, add additional splash of almond milk. 
6. Add desired toppings. 
7. Enjoy!
