I love cooking with oats, but am not overly fond of oatmeal. I find the texture a little unappealing.
When I needed a quick and simple breakfast that was also healthy and filling, I knew I wanted to incorporate oats, but in a little different way.
After a little experimenting I came up with this deliciously fresh and healthy alternative.
I love the crunch.
I love the sweet cinnamon-y flavor.
I love that it keeps me satisfied all morning long.
And I love that it also seems to curb my sweet tooth, despite having no added sugar.
Apple Pecan Breakfast Crisp
Makes 1 serving
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1 small apple, chopped
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon (or to taste)
- 1/4 cup warm water
- 2 tablespoons chopped pecans
Toss all ingredients together in a breakfast bowl and enjoy!
Alternatives:
Slivered almonds make a great substitute for the chopped pecans if you want to mix it up a bit.
My mom also likes preparing her oatmeal according to the package instructions and then adding the other ingredients before serving.
She happens to like gloopy oatmeal.
Any way you choose to enjoy this delicious breakfast, I hope it’s the perfect start to your morning!
