If you follow my blog, you know I eat A LOT of No Oat Oatmeal these days. It is my go-to breakfast because it is so filling and satisfying, keeping me fueled for hours. I was craving apples with cinnamon the other day, so I decided to incorporate them into my usual recipe (tweaking a few things) and boy, did it turn out well! It was exactly what I was craving, like a mini apple pie in a bowl, but much healthier!
Paleo Apple Cinnamon No Oat Oatmeal (also gluten-free!)
Ingredients
- 1 apple (diced)
- 3/4 cup egg whites
- 1 Tbsp applesauce
- 1 tsp coconut oil
- 2 Tbsp milk of your choice
- 1 Tbsp flaxseed (ground)
- 1 Tbsp chia seeds
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1-2 tsp raw honey (to taste)
Instructions
- Heat a small pot over medium heat and add coconut oil and apples. Saute apples until slightly brown and softened.
- Meanwhile whisk the rest of the ingredients in a bowl and pour into pot. Continue to stir until the consistency resembles "oatmeal."
- Serve immediately with a dollop of almond butter on top and a drizzle of raw honey!
I have to try this! I know I’ve left that comment before. But I always chicken out and make my usual protein oat bran. I’m such a creature of habit! But I promise, I’m going to . . . soon!
Haha, I’m a creature of habit, too, so no worries! It IS really good! I think you will love it! Happy Friday!
I tried three or four different ‘no oat oatmeal’ recipes before finding yours. And I really have to say that it is my favorite. My 3yo loves it too! I have yet to actually make it as written and probably never will (I use whole eggs and not just egg whites), I did just purchase chia seeds and am excited to give those a try.
Awesome, I’m glad you like it (and your 3 year old). Keenan loves that stuff, especially with almond butter on top! Thanks for visiting and I hope you will come back again!
