Apple, Banana, Oatmeal Treat for One

This is my guilt-free not-to-sweet treat; It is quick and easy in the microwave. I came up with this after falling in love with those new Quaker Oatmeal Breakfast Cookies in apple cinnamon flavor and after eating entirely too many I decided to come up with my own apple induced oatmeal. This makes for a thick oatmeal. Use more soymilk for a thinner oatmeal.

Cook's notes

  • For extra texture, stir in a teaspoon of chia seeds or flax seeds after cooking.
  • Use a deep, microwave-safe mug or bowl to prevent the oatmeal from bubbling over.
  • Add a splash of plant-based milk after cooking if you prefer a creamier, porridge-like consistency.

Easy swaps

  • Swap rolled oats for instant oats to shave 2 minutes off the cooking time.
  • Use any plant-based milk such as almond, soy, or oat milk.
  • Substitute the apple for a pear if you want a softer, sweeter flavor profile.
