This single serving Cinnamon Apple Oatmeal taste like a fall harvest in a bowl. A quick decadent breakfast loaded with fresh apples, walnuts, and a little caramel sauce.
Oatmeal. Do you love it or hate it? For years, I hated it and just in the past 5 month’s I’ve been working on trying to embrace it. I’ve experimented all different ways trying to spruce it up and I’ve finally come up with a flavor combo that is out of this world and make oatmeal bearable to me. This caramel apple oatmeal is like fall harvest in a bowl for me. For those that don’t read regularly, I’m a breastfeeding mama and oatmeal is said to help produce milk production. So I’ve started bellying up to a bowl of oatmeal every morning for breakfast. The things we do for our kids!
I found that I couldn’t do the texture in oatmeal so adding crunchy fresh ingredients has helped. And of course it doesn’t hurt to add a drizzle of caramel sauce on top. I’ve been eating this caramel apple oatmeal for the past few weeks and I can say that I feel like I’ve seen a boost in my milk supply (but then again maybe its just my mind making me think that).
Directions
- Place the quick cooking oats, water, cinnamon, and salt in a microwave safe bowl. Mix then cook for 1 minute. Mixing then cooking for an additional 30 seconds until the liquid is mostly evaporated.
- While oatmeal is cooking, chop apples.
- Once the oatmeal is cooked mix in half the chopped apple pieces in the bowl. Sprinkle the remaining apples on top, followed by walnuts and drizzle with caramel sauce. Eat immediately and enjoy.
Tips & Tricks
- Warm – You may need to warm the Dulce de Leche sauce in the microwave for 15 seconds to allow it to spread evenly.
- Alternative Cooking – You can also use the stove in place of the microwave to make this recipe.

I’m watching my carb intake. Can you provide the total carbs for this breakfast? I really think I’d love it, if it’s not to high.
