I’ve always found apple recipes to be very comforting! Specially for those cold days or whenever you crave something COZY! This Apple Pie Oatmeal bowl is healthy, filling and naturally sweetened.

I’m a FAN of having a bit of everything in a bowl! Something sweet, something crunchy, creamy and thick at the same time and so it is this BOWL.

This is a single serving recipe but feel free to double portions.

How to make Apple Pie Oatmeal

The ingredients

• Rolled oats – I like to use rolled oats because it with a chewier and thicker consistency. But you can use quick oats for a smoother texture.
• Granulated sweetener of choice –  add in case your applesauce is not sweetened
• Flaxseed – great for a thick oatmeal. PLUS, you get omega-3 and extra fiber!
• Cinnamon – perfect for the cozy vibes
• Applesauce – I use unsweetened
• Almond butter – a MUST for a creamy oatmeal
• Vanilla extract – for the perfect hint
• Vanilla greek yogurt – Any kind works. If, Vegan make sure to pick a plant-based one
• Milk of choice – I used unsweetened almond milk but you can use any other kind of plant-based or dairy milk
• Cacao nibs – Ohhhh they are the best for the crunchy part of this bowl
• Pinch of salt – Brings out the flavor of all the other ingredients
• Water
