This hearty breakfast dish is packed with cholesterol-lowering soluble fiber. Leaving the apple skin on contributes even more fiber. Most of the fat is a healthy monounsaturated fat from the nuts.
Ingredients
- 1 apple, preferably McIntosh, cored and coarsely chopped
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Pinch kosher salt
- 2 cups water
- 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
- 1/4 cup toasted pecans
Directions
Combine the apple, oats, cinnamon, and salt in a large microwave-safe bowl water, and stir in the water. Cover and seal with plastic wrap or a tight fitting lid and heat in the microwave on high until apples are soft and most of the liquid is absorbed, about 8 minutes. Stir in the maple syrup. Divide between 2 bowls and top with the nuts. Serve immediately.

Good recipe, use often with some adds:
1 TBS cocoa powder
1/4 cub frozen blue berries
Instead of the Maple Syrup add a 1 to 2 tsp of Maple Sugar
With a 1/2 cub of Greek Yogurt you have a balanced breakfast in under 10 minutes.

This one is kind of bland. I was hoping for delicious from the reviews, but it's edible. I doubled the cinnamon and almost doubled the maple syrup, and still didn't find that it had much flavour. I did use a Granny Smith apple, though, so maybe the sweetness that's missing is from not using a Mac. It was notably better after adding a little milk at the end though.In all fairness, this is the first time I've had oatmeal in I-don't-know-how-many-years, and I think I stopped eating it because it just wasn't my favourite. I always preferred the Quaker Apples-and-Cinnamon variety, so I'll keep looking for another recipe.
