Ingredients for apple oatmeal custard on a wood cutting board
  • Apple – I used fuji apples as they are naturally one of the sweetest. However, you could use whatever sweet apples you have on hand.
  • Oats – I used old-fashioned rolled oats, but you could use steel-cut oats or instant oats.
  • Egg – I used large eggs. You could leave the egg out for regular apple oatmeal. However, if you want extra protein, you can add a whole egg or just the egg whites or liquid egg whites.
  • Almond Milk – I used almond milk. However, you could use soy milk, oat milk, coconut milk, or regular milk.
  • Cinnamon – I used only about 1/4 teaspoon of ground cinnamon. However, if you prefer, you could add nutmeg as well or use apple pie spice. You can also add cinnamon sticks to garnish.
  • Sweetener – We used stevia, but you could use Monkfruit, honey, pure maple syrup, sugar-free syrup, a little brown sugar, or nothing at all, depending on your taste and what fits into your diet. Talk to a registered dietician if you have questions.

Instructions

Recipe Tips

  • Chop the apples finely – Be sure they are not cut into too big of chunks, or they may not cook completely.
  • Egg – If you don’t want extra protein, you can omit the egg.

Variations

  • Peanut Butter Custard – Instead of apples, stir peanut butter in the oatmeal instead.
  • Chia seeds – Add chia seeds to any oatmeal recipe for additional protein, fiber, and multiple nutrients.
  • Blueberry Oatmeal Custard – Instead of apples, add blueberries to the oatmeal.
  • Strawberry Oatmeal Custard – Add strawberries instead of apples.
  • Raspberry Oatmeal Custard – Use raspberries instead of apples.

FAQs

How to Store Leftover Oatmeal?

Store any leftover oatmeal in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

Can I Freeze Oatmeal?

Yes, you can freeze leftover oatmeal, if you wish in a freezer safe, airtight container for up to 3 months. However, I prefer to store dry oatmeal, and only make as much as I need.
