Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Rolled oats
- 1 cup Unsweetened applesauce
- 0.25 cup Dried cranberries
- 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk (or any low-fat milk alternative)
- 1 cup Water
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Maple syrup (optional, for added sweetness)
- 1 tablespoon Chopped walnuts (optional, for topping)
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the rolled oats, almond milk, water, ground cinnamon, and salt. Stir well.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle boil. Stir occasionally to prevent the oats from sticking.
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and simmer for about 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until the oats have absorbed most of the liquid and reached your desired consistency.
Stir in the unsweetened applesauce, dried cranberries, and vanilla extract. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, just to warm the applesauce and cranberries through.
Taste the oatmeal and, if desired, add a drizzle of maple syrup for extra sweetness.
Remove the saucepan from heat and divide the oatmeal evenly between two bowls.
If desired, garnish with a sprinkle of chopped walnuts for added crunch and flavor.
Serve warm and enjoy your Weight Watchers-approved breakfast!
