This is a simple and delicious recipe to make apple cinnamon flavored healthy breakfast using steel cut oats. This recipe can be easily veganized by replacing the milk with any plant based milk. I love to make this almond milk too.
Breakfast is a "MUST" in our home and I don't encourage skipping it. Brain and body needs great kick start in the morning to push us over the day filled with challenges. The right fuel is necessary for that kick start. Healthy options can be included for a healthier life.
Oats is one of my favorite breakfast option and is heart healthier too. My usual bowl full of oats may be savory too like this Masala Oats or Instant Pot Oats Pongal. Sometimes I like plain oats with a little mango or lemon pickle. Other times, depending on the seasonal veggies or fruits, and with the request from my kids, I play around with it for a healthy breakfast.
Apples were ripe and perfect for picking in my friend's backyard. Myself and kids loved picking the apples in JD's backyard. Those were delicious ones. Apples are one of favorite and I love the combo of apples and cinnamon. I like it so much that often I would like to make Apple Crisp For One, yes, single serving to satisfy the cravings. Apple cinnamon oats are always welcome and loved in our home. Fresh homemade ones is full of flavor than store-bought mixes. I prefer making my own. Also, dicing the apple to small pieces helps in faster in cooking as well as for increased flavor in oatmeal. But it would work if you prefer bigger chunks too.
I am linking this apple and cinnamon Steel Cut Oats to Blogging Marathon and Full Plate Thursday.
