Apple Cinnamon Oatmeal with Caramelized Apples + Pecans

Ingredients

• 1/3 cup rolled oats (gluten-free if necessary)
• 1/2 medium apple (peeled and diced into bite-sized pieces)
• 1/3 cup 100% pure apple juice
• 1/3 cup non-dairy milk (I used almond)
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
• 1 tablespoon maple syrup or to taste
• 1/2 medium apple (peeled and diced into bite-sized pieces)
• 1 tablespoon coconut oil
• 2 tablespoons coconut sugar
• 2 tablespoons chopped pecans
• Dairy-free coconut yogurt
• Cashew butter + Maple syrup
• Granola of choice

Instructions

1. 1

   In a small saucepan, combine oats, diced apples, apple juice, almond milk, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Simmer until liquid has absorbed into the oats, stirring frequently to prevent burning, for about 8-10 minutes. Add maple syrup to taste.

2. 2

   Meanwhile, in a separate small saucepan, melt the coconut oil over medium heat. Add the diced apple chunks and coconut sugar. Cook for a few minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sugar has melted and formed a caramel-like sauce on the apples. Stir in the pecans.

3. 3

   Serve the oatmeal immediately, topped with the caramelized apples. Enjoy!
