Spiced Sautéed Apple Oatmeal Bowl

Ingredients

Ingredients

• 2 honeycrisp apples
• 1 tbsp coconut oil
• 1 tsp ground cinnamon
• 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
• 1/8 tsp ground allspice
• 1 tbsp maple syrup
• 1 cups rolled oats
• 1 tbsp chia seeds
• 1 tbsp ground flax seeds
• 1 tsp maca powder
• 2 cups unsweetened almond milk
• 2 tbsp natural peanut butter

Instructions

1. Core and thinly slice two Honeycrisp apples into ¼-inch wedges.
2. Heat coconut oil in a skillet over medium heat until shimmering.
3. Add apple wedges and cook undisturbed for two minutes to develop caramelized edges.
4. Sprinkle cinnamon, nutmeg, and allspice over the apples, then toss to coat evenly.
5. Drizzle maple syrup into the pan and continue sautéing until apples soften but retain bite, about four minutes.
6. Meanwhile, combine rolled oats, chia seeds, ground flax seeds, and maca powder in a saucepan.
7. Pour almond milk over the oat mixture and bring to a gentle simmer, stirring frequently.
8. Cook oats until creamy and thickened, about five minutes, adding a splash more milk if needed.
9. Stir a pinch of cinnamon into the finished oats for an extra warm note.
10. Divide oats between bowls, top with the spiced apples, and drizzle generously with peanut butter.

Notes

Use certified gluten-free oats if needed and natural peanut butter for the best flavor contrast.
