1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1 tablespoon sweetener of choice (Optional)

Instructions

Core and finely chop half an apple.
In a bowl or large mug, combine the oats, egg, almond milk, and sweetner, and stir with a fork. Add the chopped apple and cinnamon. Stir again until everything is fully combined.
Microwave on high for 2 minutes. Stir with a fork. Microwave an additional 30 to 60 seconds, if needed. (Note: cook times may vary due to differences in microwaves.)

Apple - I used fuji apples as they are naturally one of the sweetest. However, you could use whatever sweet apples you have on hand.
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.
Oats - I used old-fashioned rolled oats, but you could use steel-cut oats or instant oats.
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.
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.
Pineapple Oatmeal Custard – Add chopped pineapple as the fruit.
