Apple Pie Oatmeal

I was in the mood for comfort this morning, and no one else in the house felt the same. So for me I made myself Apple Pie Oatmeal. Just what this momma needed warm, sweet, filling, and healthy. I hope you enjoy as much as I do.


Ingredients:

1/3 cup regular oats
1 tablespoon flax seed
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp ground ginger + pinch of sea salt
1  1/4 cups Almond Milk
1 Macintosh apple, cut into 1 inch pieces (to peel or not to peel is up to you) or whatever kind you want
1 tablespoon pure maple syrup + more for drizzling
1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
2 tbsp chopped walnuts, for sprinkling on top

Directions:
1. In a medium sized pot over medium heat, whisk together the oats, chopped apple, 1 flax seeds, applesauce, Almond milk, 1 tbsp pure maple syrup, 1 tsp cinnamon, 1/4 tsp ginger, pinch of sea salt. Whisk well.
2. Heat over medium heat for about 8 minutes, stirring often. When the mixture thickens and the liquid is absorbed, it is ready. Stir in the pure vanilla extract.
3. Pour into a dish and sprinkle with chopped walnuts, a pinch of cinnamon, and a drizzle of pure maple syrup.

Yummy!
