oats and apple
I was getting tired of traditional oatmeal for breakfast because following the anti-inflammatory diet plan, there were only so many ways I could come up with that made me happy. Then I thought about those no bake cookies we ate as a child and the oats weren't cooked!

How To Make oats and apple
-
Step 1Preheat pan with enough olive oil to coat the bottom of the pan. I put my setting on 5. You don't want to burn the apples, you just want them to be tender.
-
Step 2Meanwhile, core and chop apple into small, bite sized pieces and add to the pan
-
Step 3Sprinkle on desired spices to your taste. Tip; ginger is an anti-inflammatory and a dash or 2 would be great for you!
-
Step 4Stir apples
-
Step 5Add nuts. Tip; buy pecans & walnuts on sale and toss them in the freezer. It is also cheaper to purchase halves and chop them yourself.
-
Step 6Stir apples & nuts
-
Step 7Add honey. I don't really measure, I just go up and down one way then across the other way to coat the apples and nuts good.
-
Step 8Stir and continue to stir occasionally, until the apples have reached your desired tenderness. 5 or so minutes should work, depending on the thickness of your apples.
-
Step 9Meanwhile, pour your 1/2 cup of uncooked oatmeal into a 4-8 cup sized bowl.
-
Step 10Once the apples have reached your desired tenderness, pour them into the bowl with the oats, and be sure to scrape all the honey into the bowl too.
-
Step 11Mix apple & oats until the oats are no longer dry & completely coated.
-
Step 12Eat alone or as a side or as a topper to whatever you wish. Great on pancakes!
