My Favourite Morning Oatmeal with Apple and Almonds

- No breakfast in the early morning doesn't happen to me. I can't start my day off in a good way, without breakfast. I decided to show you my oatmeal recipe, so that you can start your day with a kick of energy!



For 1 serving you will need:



1/2 cup (about 118 ml) of milk (i use lowfat milk, but you can also use a dairy-free milk) 
1/2 cup (about 118 ml) of water
1/2 cup (about 43 grams) of rolled oats

It might seem a little odd that i use milk and water for my oatmeal. It's just my personal preference. I don't like oatmeal cooked only with water, because it's too bland for me, and i don't like oatmeal cooked only with milk, because i think it's too creamy.


You can use anything you want for the topping. Or even leave it out completely.

For the topping, i use:

An apple cut into small cubes 
6 almonds
Cinnamon (optional - I like the spice it gives to the apples and the oatmeal)
Sugar (optional)

- Pour milk, water and oats in a little saucepan. 
- Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, for a few minutes, or until the oatmeal is cooked to your liking (i like my oatmeal very thick, so i cook it for about 5 minutes over medium heat). 
- Stir in sugar and cinnamon, if desired. 
- Top with your choice of fruits and nuts.

Enjoy the most important meal of the day!
