Apple Oatmeal



I'm muffined out. I didn't think it could happen, but it did. I now walk around the house referring to Vegan Mofo as "Vegan Momuuuuuu" for Vegan Month of Muffins!

So this morning I decided to try a recipe for apple oatmeal. My favorite oatmeal flavor packet as a kid was the apple cinnamon packet- probably only because that was my older sister's favorite flavor and I always wanted what she was having. As a bonus I found out that she is coming out to Oregon to visit me in November, I am so excited!

Apple Oatmeal

Ingredients:

1/2 cup old fashioned oats
1/2 gala apple (I was going to use a whole apple, but I ate half of it while I was waiting for the water to boil)
1 Tablespoon ground flaxseeds (optional)
cinnamon and brown sugar to taste

Directions:

1. Bring 1 cup of water to a boil on the stove.
2. Add oats and diced apple pieces
3. Cook on mediuim heat for 5 minutes
4. Remove from heat and stir in flaxseeds, cinnamon and brown sugar.

This didn't taste quite the same as the packages I remember but I bet it could have if I had added a lot more sugar. I was too hungry to call Zoey into the kitchen for a sniff so I snapped a picture of her in her natural habitat on a sunny day.

I need to eat more oatmeal. This looks very good. Ii generally use dried apples but this seems so much better!
