Suddenly
it's fall outside. Leaves are starting to turn and mornings are chilly.
Which makes this breakfast a perfect belly warmer to your autumn
morning.
I
love oatmeal and I love the heartiness of steel cut oats especially.
They have a pleasant chew and keep your stomach happy and full until
lunchtime. But it's the apples here that get lightly caramelized and
soft, that makes this dish so extra special. Cinnamon and nutmeg add a
nice spice and easily recall the flavours in an apple pie.
Top
this with your favourite garnishes. For me, it's fresh apples slices
and walnuts for crunch, a spoonful of brown sugar and another sprinkle
of cinnamon.
Creamy Apple Cinnamon Oats
This
recipe makes a creamy and loose oatmeal which I think is just perfect.
If you like a thicker oatmeal, add in 1 1/2 cups milk instead of 2.
1 teaspoon butter
1 apple, diced
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 cup steel cut oats
tiny pinch of kosher salt
2 cups almond milk (or the milk of your choosing)
garnish: chopped walnuts, yogurt, fresh apple slices, cinnamon, brown sugar, milk
Over
medium heat in a medium-sized saucepan, melt butter and add in the
diced apples and spices. Let the apples soften slightly for about 3-5
minutes and then stir in the steel cut oats and a pinch of salt. Stir
everything until well mixed and fragrant, about 3 minutes. Pour in the
almond milk and cover, turning down the heat to medium-low and stirring
occasionally until oats are tender, about 25-30 minutes.
Garnish with your favourite toppings. Makes 2 servings.
