    Creamy Apple Pie Oatmeal From Scratch

    Apple Pie Oatmeal is one of my oldest posts here on GreenLiteBites. Eight years ago I shared how I mixed one of those flavored oatmeal packets with applesauce for breakfast. Two years later I dumped the packets and made a version with old-fashioned oats and artificial sweetener. Now that the kids are older I rarely buy applesauce and I've pretty much eliminated all artificial sweeteners from my diet. I don't even buy them anymore.

    This morning, using what I had on hand, I whipped together my latest version. This one using an aging apple, spices and some liquid egg white to up the protein and creaminess factor.

    The result was fantastic! Even The 4-Year-Old thought so...

    Well, that was AFTER all the whining that there were no chocolate chips. He normally eats oatmeal made like this so the apples were a twist for him.

    (He was a BIG fan when he was a baby.)

    I tried to get him to help like his brother used to but he loses interest fast. He does, however, love to eat raw oatmeal.

    He likes the oddest textures. Grapes? No. Raw chia? Yes. Strawberries? No. Almond flour? Yes.  It's funny. He's also the opposite of his brother in so many ways. Ryan is not a big bread or bun fan, hates sandwiches and always leaves more than half the bun when we have burgers. Evan removes the burger and only eats the bun. He could also live off peanut butter sandwiches and cheese, two things his brother despises.

    Everyone told me they would be different, and I have to say, I didn't believe it until I saw it for myself.

    Anyway, here's how I made our bowl of Apple Pie Oatmeal this morning.

    Ingredients

    • 1 small apple with skin, chopped
    • ½ tsp lemon juice
    • â…› tsp kosher salt
    • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
    • ½ tsp ground nutmeg
    • â…› teaspoon ginger
    • â…› teaspoon allspice
    • 1 cup water (separated)
    • ¼ cup liquid egg whites (or more for more protein)
    • ½ cup (40g dry) old-fashioned oats
    • Handful of chopped almonds, dash of cinnamon and a drizzle of honey (optional)

    Instructions

    Put the apple, lemon juice, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, allspice and ½ cup of the water in a small pot. Bring it to a boil over medium heat and continue to cook for about 10 minutes.

    After 10 minutes smash with a fork.

    Add the additional ½ cup of water then stir in in the egg white and oatmeal. Continue cooking over medium heat for about 3 minutes until thick. Transfer to a bowl.

    I decided to top with a little crunch and a touch of sweetness by adding some chopped almonds and a drizzle of honey. It was a huge bowl of oatmeal awesomeness.

      I made this using 1/2 tsp Nutmeg (recipe says 1/2 top Nutmeg) and it was way too much in my opinion. But I do love the concept of adding an egg to oatmeal to up the protein. Made again and just added 1/8 tsp and that was perfect.

      My boys are night and day as well. I love the eyes you put on your fridge. I'm always seeing faces everywhere, so I had a good laugh at your fridge. It's perfect! We're still in the scorching temps here, but I'm going to try this oatmeal later on this fall. It looks delicious!

      That looks yum! I'm not a huge oatmeal/porridge fan but I like it on occasion. We don't buy liquid egg whites, they're not a big thing here, how would you suggest replacing them? Would using 1-2 whole eggs work or would the yolks change the taste/texture?

      This cracked me up - my two were night and day as well. I loved the flashback to him eating apple oatmeal when he was a wee-one. I remember that post! Love your take on this recipe!
