This oatmeal is sweetened with honey and flavored with cinnamon and nutmeg. It uses a special trick to keep the oats intact, and avoid mushy/slimy oatmeal.
Whole milk, cream, or yogurt, for serving(optional)
Instructions
Melt butter in saucepan over medium heat. Add apples, cinnamon, and nutmeg; stir until coated.
Saute over medium heat until apples are soft (about 5 minutes, depending on how small you chopped them).
Add water, salt, and honey. Bring to a boil.
Add oats and almonds, stir, and remove from heat and cover. Let sit covered for 15 minutes.
When finished, serve with a splash of whole milk, cream, or yogurt on top (optional).
Notes
The great thing about this and other oatmeal is that you can make it and refrigerate it for about a week, and reheat it later for breakfast (or lunch, or dinner!). If you do this, you may need to add more water because it tends to dry out over time. Make a big batch over the weekend, and divide into individual containers. When you are ready to eat, add a couple of tablespoons of water and microwave for one minute.
