Apple Cinnamon Oatmeal

 

whole grains with fresh fruit are a great way to start off the day. Grains give lasting energy and pack a great fiber punch. You can also use a left over grain from another meal and simply heat it up with a little more liquid, some cinnamon and apple slices.

Apples are naturally sweet, helping to curb our cravings for sweets in a natural way. They have fiber
and Vitamin C.
Cinnamon has many beneficial properties, including a mild anti-inflammatory effect, anti-microbial
properties (helps stop the growth of bacteria as well as fungi), better blood sugar control, the odor
boosts brain activity, and is an excellent source of manganese.
Ingredients:

• 1/3 cup rolled oats (or steel cut oats*)

• 2/3 cup liquid (1 cup liquid for steed cut oats*)

• ½ an apple cut into small pieces

• ½ tsp. cinnamon

• Dash of salt

Directions:
1. Add all ingredients to a small pot
2. Bring to a boil, then turn down to a simmer and cook until soft, about 5 to 7 minutes (about 20
minutes for steel cut oats*)
* Steel Cut Oats are a much heartier cereal. They have more fiber & nutrients. They have a wonderful,
chewy texture and you will stay full longer when you eat steel cut oats.
