Method
Wash, peel, and dice the apple2 into 1 cm cubes. Chop the walnuts5 finely.
Bring 250 ml of water to a boil in a saucepan, add the oat flakes and a pinch of salt, and cook over medium heat for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add the apple2 and cinnamon, then cook for another 4–5 minutes until the apple is tender and the oatmeal thickens.
Remove from heat and let it sit covered for 2 minutes.
Serve in bowls, drizzle with honey, and sprinkle with the chopped walnuts5.
Tips
- Why it works
- Add apples at the last minute to prevent them from turning mushy; they cook faster than oats. Salt the water first to let the flavor spread evenly through the oats.
- Substitutions
- Use raisins (15g) instead of honey for a chewier texture, or swap apples for pears (120g) if softer fruit is preferred.
- Common mistakes
- Overcooking makes oats gummy; check consistency at 4 minutes. It should thicken further off the heat.
- Storing and reheating
- Eat fresh or store for 2 days in the fridge; reheat in a microwave for 1 minute with 20ml water, stirring halfway.
- Serve with
- Pair with a cup of black tea or serve alongside yogurt for extra protein.
In short
- Marked healthy: the planner picks it more often for the goals “lose weight” and “eat well”.
