Apple Cinnamon Oatmeal Bowl
- Yield: 1 1x
Ingredients
1/2 cup rolled oats (48g)
1 cup water (see notes)
1/4 tsp kosher salt
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tbsp pure maple syrup (15g)
1 tbsp salted pumpkin seeds (7g)
1 tbsp walnuts, chopped (7g)
1 tbsp chia seeds and/or ground flaxseed meal (12g)
20 grams vanilla protein powder
1/2 of an apple, finely diced (50g)
Instructions
Combine oats, water, and salt in a small saucepan. Bring to a gentle boil over medium heat, then reduce to low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the oats are thick and creamy, about 8-10 minutes.
Stir in the diced apple during the last couple of minutes of cooking so it softens slightly.
Remove from heat and stir in the cinnamon, maple syrup, protein powder, and chia seeds and/or flaxseed. Add a splash of milk if the oatmeal thickens too much.
Top with pumpkin seeds and walnuts before serving.
Notes
For extra protein without using protein powder, cook the oats in milk instead of water.
If you prefer a fresh, crisp apple texture, add the diced apple on top at the end rather than stirring it in while cooking.
