Blended Apple Cinnamon Oats
Just when you thought you knew every way to make oats - there's another one! These oats are blended up with the apple and THEN cooked. Making them creamy, smooth, thicc (with TWO c's!) and tasting like an apple pie. You can even add in egg whites at the end for some extra protein, and they might just become the best oats you've ever had!
Ingredients
- 2/3 cup rolled oats
- 1 medium apple
- 2 cups water
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon plus extra for topping
- 1 tbsp maple syrup
- 1/2 tbsp flax meal
- 2 large egg whites optional
- 1/4 tsp flakey salt for topping, optional
Instructions
- Dice up your apple, set about 2 tbsp of the pieces to the side. Then microwave the rest of the apple for 3 minutes OR cook it on the stovetop for 3-4 minutes to get all the apple pieces fully softened.
- Add your oats, cooked apple, cinnamon and flaxmeal to a blender. Add in the water and blend until you get a smooth consistency.
- Pour the blended mixture into a microwave safe bowl and microwave for one minute at a time, stirring each minute. Do this for 3-5 minutes or until you reach your desired thickness. The oats will be clumpy at the 1 and 2 minute mark, but after the 3 minute mark they will start to become smooth and creamy.
- You can also do this on the stovetop, just cook on medium heat for 4-6 minutes, stirring constantly until you reach your desired thickness!
- Take the oats off of the heat and stir in the maple syrup. Top with the apple pieces you set aside, plus extra cinnamon, flaxmeal and flakey salt! Serve warm :)
