I think in Autumn and Winter, the coldest seasons, we all need some comfort food.
Since breakfast is my favorite meal, then I say...we all need comfort food for breakfast!
And this cinnamon apple oatmeal <\/strong>can definitely be part of that category. Delicious, sweet, healthy and comforting.
Take a blanket, sit on the sofa and enjoy!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to make cinnamon apple oatmeal in ONLY 2 steps<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Making a nice and creamy apple oatmeal (and looooots of cinnamon powder) is actually pretty easy.
The most important part? Keep stirring with a spatula<\/a><\/strong>, throughout the process!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To make a delicious oatmeal, follow these steps: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Combine<\/strong>
    Combine all the ingredients into a pan: water, oats, a pinch of salt, cinnamon and - if you don't caramelize apples - also chopped apple and maple syrup.
    Personally I like to use half of the apple INSIDE my oatmeal, and the other half caramelized.<\/li>
  2. Cook<\/strong>
    Cook until creamy, but remember to keep stirring! That is very important in order not to make it stick to the pan.
    I use a silicon spatula for this purpose.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Optional step: CARAMELIZED apples<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    1. In a small pan, combine maple syrup, chopped apples and a pinch of cinnamon. Bring to a simmer and let caramelize (keep stirring).

      If you do this, don't add extra maple syrup<\/strong> TO<\/strong> the oatmeal, just use it to caramelize the fruit. Otherwise it'll be too sweet.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n
      \"Apple<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

      Can you prepare it in advance?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

      Of course you can!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      I usually take my photos during the day (in the evening when I want to shoot with artificial light). So, if it's savory food I eat it for lunch\/dinner.
      If it's breakfast - like in this case - I store it into a airtight jar until the day after.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      And...<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \"Apple
      I love my apple oatmeal with a LOT of cinnamon powder!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

      Can you heat overnight oats?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

      Totally! As I just mentioned, I store my apple oatmeal (and not only this) into a jar, then in the morning I heat it into a pan or - even quicker - into the microwave!
      Healthy and nutritious breakfast in literally a few seconds! What's better than that?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \"Closeup<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

      What consistency should oatmeal be?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

      Now, that's a good question.
      In my vanilla strawberry oatmeal post I've shared a small clip where I show you the consistency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/a>\n\n\n\n

      Some people suggest not<\/strong> to keep stirring otherwise texture becomes gluey.
      I don't know if it depends on the kind of oats, on the water\/oats ratio or what, but I've never found my oatmeal to be sticky.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      My suggestion is: try both ways (1. let it undisturbed and stir a couple of times, 2. then try to stirring throughout the process). And choose what you like most.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
