Apple Cinnamon Oatmeal

 I tried making Creamy Oatmeal from Cardamom and Tea.  It called for 3/4 cup rolled oats, 1.5 cups milk (I used coconut), and 1.5 cups water.  I cooked it for 30 minutes and it never thickened. I'll try this recipe next.




  • 1 small apple, diced (or ½ large)
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 cup milk 
  • 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1½ tablespoon maple syrup or honey
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon hemp seeds (or nuts & seeds of choice)
  • 1 tablespoon pumpkin seeds (or nuts & seeds of choice)


  • Dice the apple into small pieces. Heat a saucepan on medium high heat. Add the apples, ½ tablespoon of the syrup, and ¼ teaspoon of the cinnamon. Cook for ~5-10 minutes, until the apples have softened, stirring frequently. Remove a couple spoonfuls of the apples from the saucepan and set them aside for topping the oatmeal.
  • Add the oats, milk, water, vanilla, and remaining maple syrup and cinnamon. Stir and bring everything to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Add the pumpkin seeds and hemp seeds and heat another minute.
  • Add more milk or water as needed to get to your desired thickness. Serve with the remaining apple on top.

  • Topping Ideas: banana, blueberries, dates, cacao nibs, coconut flakes, almonds, honey

Instructions

Seeds

  • Blitz the chia, hemp, and flax seeds in a coffee grinder or a food processor until it turns into a powder. We will be using 1 tbsp of the seed mixture for this recipe. Go ahead and store the rest in the fridge, sprinkling it on your quinoa porridge, oatmeal, smoothies, anything!

Quinoa Porridge

  • Place a medium pan over medium heat. Add the quinoa, and toast for 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent burning.
  • Add the milk, and reduce the heat to medium-low. Bring to a simmer, and add in 1 tbsp of the seed mixture, cinnamon, cloves, and vanilla.
  • Cook the quinoa porridge, uncovered, for about 15-20 minutes, maintaining a gentle simmer, until the quinoa is softened. Add a splash more milk, if needed, to reach the desired consistency. I like my porridge a bit thinner so I always add more milk.
  • Remove the cinnamon and cloves, if using.
  • Divide the porridge between bowls and top with your favorite fruit!

Stewed Apples and Oatmeal

 



👩‍🍳Cooking apples can bring gut benefits because heat breaks apples’ pectin into its soluble form, which is what your gut bacteria can ferment and use.

Then it’s just rolled oats, chia and milk on the stove, topped with the apple and a big spoon of Greek yoghurt for protein.

🍎 Stewed apple (big batch):
- 5 apples, diced
- Splash of water
- 1 tbsp cinnamon

Cook on low heat for 10–15 minutes, until soft and jammy. Keeps in the fridge for about a week.

🥣 Oats (per bowl):
- ½ cup rolled oats
- 1 cup milk
- 1 tbsp chia seeds

Cook until creamy, then top with a few spoons of stewed apple and Greek yoghurt.

Save this for your next slow morning 🤍

Low Histamine Hot Bowl *****

10.9.26


 Very good!  *I'd cooked some fresh green beans in the air fryer, and I cut them into bite-sized pieces and added them.  With the carrots, I shredded them, added to a small bowl, along with a few tablespoons of water, covered the bowl and microwaved them for a couple of minutes so they were easier to chew.  For the pumpkin seeds, I used a pumpkin and sunflower seed mix.  I loved the potatoes in this dish, and I liked the whole dish better without the dressing than with.
