  • Almond milk – feel free to use any plant-based milk
  • Maple syrup – to sweeten the oats

How to make caramelized apple oatmeal

I must say I love a warm and cozy breakfast, and this caramelized apple oatmeal is so easy to make, it’ll take your breakfast oats to a whole other level.

To cook the oats:

In a pot, add the milk, oats, and maple syrup. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently until oats are thick.

To make the caramelized apples:

Chop the apples. In a small pan, add the coconut oil and let it melt over medium to high heat. When the coconut oil is melted, add the sugar followed by the chopped apples. Mix and stir, until the apples are golden and caramelized on all sides.

To top your apple oatmeal, add some melted nut butter, and sprinkle some shredded coconut, or cinnamon.

How to store caramelized apple oatmeal

If you’d like you can also prepare the oats beforehand and store them in the fridge, for a ready-to-eat breakfast. Just cook them, store them in the fridge, and heat them on the stovetop or in the microwave.

I’m back!!! - after some months finishing my masters program, starting a new job, and moving twice… and finally I’m back!!! This makes me very happy! Cooking makes me feel very much at home and I had missed it.. a lot! So a big thank YOU for being here 🙆🏼‍♀️😁

As most of you know, black beans are one of my favourite foods. So it was just natural to make these black bean brownies. They are incredibly moist, soft, and fudgy and have become one of my favourites. I’ve tried them several times and I’ve finally found the perfect ingredient ratio. Don’t worry they don’t taste like black beans!

These are gluten free, low in sugar, and high in protein and fiber. Can’t wait for you to try them!
