This is our favorite fall breakfast with warm cinnamon and in-season apples. Oatmeal has become one of my favorite breakfasts and when it’s as easy as this one, it’ll quickly become your favorite too.

TYPES OF OATS

  • You wantย Old-fashioned rolled oatsย for overnight oats. Whole oat groats are steamed and, instead of being cut with a metal blade, they are rolled and flattened into flakes, which allows them to cook faster than steel-cut oats.
  • Steel-cut oats: Steel-cut oats, also called Scottish or Irish oats. They are processed the least. Steel-cut oats sliced into pieces with steel. This leaves much of the bran intact. Steel-cut oats time the longest time to cook. Theyโ€™re great for cooking in a slow-cooker.
  • Quick or instant oats: Similar toย old-fashioned rolled oats, instant oats are the most processed of the three oat varieties. They are pre-cooked, dried, and then rolled and pressed thinner thanย rolled oats. For these reasons, instant oats cook more quickly than steel-cut orย rolled oats. They retain less of their texture and often cook up mushy.

APPLE CINNAMON OATMEAL

I used old-fashioned rolled oats for this recipe. I added fresh apples, cinnamon, and coconut sugar. You can add brown sugar if you like. I have also drizzled over Date Syrup instead of adding sugar and it’s amazing!! (Get Date Syrup here.)

You can also add dried cranberries, raisins, or any fruit if you don’t have apples on hand.

  1. Since Jan 1st, I've cut out wheat and sugar from my diet, and I discovered that I LOVE unsweetened Silk almond milk mixed with unsweetened cocoa powder and sugar sub – better than the Swiss Miss packets I once OD'ed on.

    Im stopping by from Friendship Friday.

  2. Mmmm. Looks nummy! I've made a similar recipe before and it got me hooked on steel cut oats!

  3. I've been eating slow cooked steel cut oats for awhile. I chop up apples and use agave nectar and cinnamon in it, then cook it overnight. I have been adding a little brown sugar when I put it into my bowl, but I really need to stop doing that! ๐Ÿ˜‰ I really look forward to having breakfast every morning!

  4. How much oats do you use? Sounds like something I would love to make for these cold mornings!
