✅ Ingredients (Serves 1)
- ½ cup rolled oats
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or milk of your choice)
- 1 small apple, finely chopped (leave the skin on for extra fiber)
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed
- Optional toppings: crushed walnuts, almond butter, chia seeds, or a drizzle of coconut yogurt
🍲 Instructions
1. Simmer the Oats
In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the oats, almond milk, and chopped apple. Stir in the cinnamon.
Let the mixture come to a gentle simmer, then reduce the heat to low. Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 8–10 minutes, or until the oats are soft and the apples are tender.
2. Stir in the Flaxseed
Once the oats have thickened to your desired consistency, remove the pan from heat. Stir in the ground flaxseed for a boost of fiber and omega-3s. Let it sit for 1 minute to thicken slightly.
3. Serve and Customize
Transfer the oat mixture to a bowl. Top with your favorite extras—crushed walnuts for crunch, a spoonful of almond butter for creaminess, or a sprinkle of chia seeds for even more nutrients. No sugar needed—the apples provide just the right amount of natural sweetness.

💡 Tips & Variations
- Prefer chunkier apples? Add half during cooking and save the rest to stir in at the end for extra texture.
- Use steel-cut oats for a chewier bite—just adjust the cooking time accordingly.
- Not a fan of flaxseed? Try ground chia or hemp seeds for a different nutritional profile.
- Want extra creaminess? Stir in a splash of coconut cream just before serving.
