Method
Dice the apple2 into small cubes and roughly chop the walnuts3.
Add the oat flakes, a pinch of salt, and cinnamon to a pot, then pour in 220 ml of water.
Simmer on low heat for 5–7 minutes, stirring, until the oats are tender.
Add the apple2 and cook for another 1 minute to warm it through.
Remove from heat, stir in the honey, and top with the walnuts3.
Tips
- Why it works
- Add the apple only after the oatmeal is cooked, so it doesn't overcook into mush and keeps its crunch. If you add it right away, it will turn into puree and spoil the texture.
- Substitutions
- Instead of walnuts, use pine nuts or almonds, 20 g, lightly toasted for a richer flavor. Replace the honey with sugar, 10 g, but the oatmeal will be less sweet.
- Common mistakes
- If the oatmeal tastes bitter, the salt was added too late or it stayed on the heat too long. Check the color: it should be light brown, not gray.
- Storing and reheating
- Keeps for 2 days in the fridge, but it's better eaten right away. Reheat over low heat with 20 ml of water, stirring constantly so it doesn't burn.
- Serve with
- Serve with tea or coffee when you need a quick morning meal. Good for weekdays when there's no time for long cooking.
In short
- Marked healthy: the planner picks it more often for the goals “lose weight” and “eat well”.
