Cinnamon Maple Oatmeal

Cinnamon Maple Oatmealwith Apples + Peanut Butter

Happy first day of spring AND international happiness day, lovelies! I hope you enjoy this nutritious and delicious vegan oatmeal :)

What goes together better than cinnamon maple and apples? NOTHING. This is currently my go to oatmeal and it is SUPER easy to make. (huge plus cause i work a lot and am super lazy)

There are only three ingredients (five with apples + pb) and it is really good for you. The oats have fiber and with the cinnamon your metabolism gets a little rev. It's also not super sugary and is all natural (yay no chemicals!)

Cinnamon Maple Oatmeal

Serving Size: 1 bowl

Calories per serving: 288

Ingredients:

1/2 cup oats*

1 tbsp cinnamon

1 tbsp maple syrup

*I really like the gluten free whole oats, but I've been using Quaker 1 minute oats at work and they work equally as well.

Directions: 

1. Rolled Oats: 

Bring 1 cup of water to a boil. Add the oats and reduce the heat, stirring occasionally. Cook down until it's the consistency you want then remove from heat. Stir in cinnamon and maple syrup.

2. Instant Oats: 

Mix together 1 minute oats and cinnamon (since i bring it to work, i combine them in a sandwich bag and shake 'em up :) ). Put cinnamon oats in a bowl if they're not in one already and add hot water until it is the consistency you like, maybe a little more because the oats will absorb some of the water. You can add the maple syrup before or after the water (doesn't make a difference! :) )

3. Toppings:

Cut up an apple, spread some peanut butter on the pieces and throw them on top too complete this delicious apple cinnamon combination. You can use any fruit on top of there for some extra deliciousness and/or vitamins/antioxidants/nutrition.

Enjoy your oatmeal!

love always,
