    Caramel Apple Oatmeal Recipe

    Warm breakfasts on cool mornings are one of my favorite things about fall. Oatmeal is a staple in our house and this is a fun, seasonal way to change your normal bowl of oatmeal into a bit of a treat. Don't worry though, it's still totally healthy and you can make it with naturally sweetened caramel (recipes at the end of the post).

    The chunks of cooked apples, a little cinnamon, and just a drizzle of caramel make this caramel apple oatmeal a really fun and easy breakfast that will keep you (and the kids) full until lunch.

    I'm planning on enjoying my last farmers' market of the season on Saturday, and am hoping to find some grapes to juice and then bottle. I might also try a few pumpkin soup recipes. Other than that, it's a plan-free weekend!

    What fall activities do you have planned?

    Description

    This Caramel Apple Oatmeal is a fun, seasonal way to transform your normal bowl of oatmeal into a bit of a treat. This easy oatmeal recipe is healthy and delicious!


    Ingredients

    Scale
    • 2 cups water
    • 1 large or 2 small apples pealed cored and chopped, about 1 cup
    • 1 tablespoon butter or coconut oil
    • ¼ teaspoon salt
    • 1 ½ cups old fashioned oats
    • 2 tablespoons honey
    • ¼ to ½ teaspoon cinnamon
    • Chopped pecans or walnuts, optional
    • Caramel Sauce (homemade or store-bought)

    Instructions

    1. In a medium sauce pan add the water, chopped apples, butter, and salt. Bring the mixture to a boil and let it boil for 3 to 5 minutes or until the apples are tender.
    2. Add the oats, reduce the heat to medium, and stir while the oats cook for 1 to 2 minutes (I like a less mushy oatmeal, so I only cook it for 1 minute, it's up to you).
    3. Remove the oatmeal from the heat and add the honey and cinnamon to taste. Dish the oatmeal into 4 bowls, add the nuts and a drizzle of caramel and serve hot.

    Notes

    • The caramel is just a little icing on the cake. The sweetness comes from the honey and just a little flavor comes from the caramel. My kids loved that they got to have caramel for breakfast and I loved that most of the sweetness really came naturally from honey.
