Ingredients

For the oatmeal
  • 1/2 cup gluten free rolled oats
  • Pinch sea salt
  • Cinnamon
  • Pinch nutmeg
  • 1 cup dairy free milk of choice
  • 1/4 apple, chopped finely
  • 1 large egg OR 2 large egg whites (For a vegan version, 1 flax egg)
  • 2 T + granulated sweetener of choice (optional)
  • 1 scoop vanilla or neutral protein powder (optional)
  • 1 T coconut flour

For the caramelized apple
  • 1/4 apple, chopped
  • Pinch cinnamon
  • Pinch nutmeg
  • 1 T granulated sweetener of choice (optional)

Instructions
  1. In a saucepan or microwave safe bowl, combine the rolled oats, sea salt, cinnamon,nutmeg, apple and milk of choice and simmer on medium until most of the liquid is absorbed.
  2. Once thick, add the large egg and mix very well until fully mixed in. If desired, add the granulated sweetener, protein powder and mix very well.
  3. Add the coconut flour and continue stirring until a very thick batter is formed. Remove from heat and pour into a bowl.
  4. In a microwave safe bowl or in a small pan, heat the 1/4 apple with cinnamon and nutmeg and optional sweetener until caramelized. 
  5. Remove from heat or microwave and top your oatmeal with it.

Notes
  • If batter is too thick, add extra dairy free milk to desired consistency- It's best to keep it quite thick to resemble a soft, French toast texture.
  • This can be batch made the night before and eaten hot/cold.
  • This can also be frozen- Simply thaw out and and reheat.
