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

  1. 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.

This recipe was amazing and delicious! I did not have pecans, only walnuts, though I did not want to possibly ruin it, so I didn’t add them. I halved the recipe and put half an irregularly chopped red apple, a lot of cinnamon, a bit of normal sugar that I crushed up so it wouldn’t overpower the cinnamon, a dash of salt, and of course, the oats. I didn’t use any precise measurements and just winged it, so I have no idea how much water I really did add, but it seemed to cover it just enough so i could see a small layer of the top. For microwaving, I put it in mine for 4:10 minutes with a small microwave safe plate on top as the lid. When it finished, it had dripped a little on the side of the bowl, which I am surprised at since I expected it to overflow! I grabbed it out (used protection - it was really hot!) and I let it sit for just one minute before I slowly slid the plate off, avoiding the steam. Finally, I rinsed the plate in the sink and gave the oatmeal a stir - it was cooked. Added maple syrup (drizzle) Not that messy overall, and it tasted great! In the future, I plan to season the apple before I add it such as with brown sugar, maybe extra cinnamon, nutmeg, or something. Loved this recipe!! 😍
