Breakfast Oat Pudding with Sauteed Apples

I adapted a recipe out of the most recent issue of Whole Living. I swapped in apples for nectarines (and honesty most fruit would work!) and added more sweetener and cinnamon. A delicious bowl of breakfast to be sure!

Breakfast Oat Pudding with Sautéed Apples

Ingredients:

  • 2/3 cup old-fashioned oats
  • 1/3 cup Shredded Unsweetened Coconut
  • 1½ cups water
  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
  • 2 Tbsp pure maple syrup
  • ¼ tsp ground cinnamon
  • Pinch fine sea salt
  • 1 Tbsp coconut oil
  • 2 firm apples, peeled, cored and sliced
  • 1 Tbsp pure maple syrup
  • ¼ cup Unsweetened Coconut Flakes

Directions:

Before bedtime stash the oats, shredded coconut and water in a bowl, cover tightly and refrigerate overnight.

Add the soaked oats to a medium saucepan with the almond milk, maple syrup, cinnamon and salt. Bring to a boil, turn down to medium-low and cook for 12 minutes, stirring often.

In the morning heat a large skillet over medium-high. Add the oil, let melt and then apples. Stir often, as they start to brown turn to medium and let sauté. As they become tender drizzle the Tablespoon of maple syrup on top and toss to coat.

Take both off the heat, stir the coconut flakes into the oats, dish up. Divide the apples between the two bowls, drizzle more maple syrup on top as desired.

Serves 2 large bowls.

Two Mini Baked Oatmeals

I was inspired by two recipes I saw on Nom Eat Nom’s blog for baked oatmeal.

Hers were for single serving, I doubled the recipes, adapted for lower cholesterol and baked them in small oven-safe dishes. Of the two, the Cinnamon Bun was my favorite. Perfect breakfasts for Kirk and I!

Cinnamon Raisin Bun Baked Oatmeal

Ingredients:

Directions:

Preheat oven to 375°, lightly oil or spray two personal ramekins that are oven-safe.

Mix the oats, raisins, cinnamon and sea salt in a mixing bowl. Whisk the egg whites through honey together, add to the dry, mix. Divide between the two ramekins, bake for about 20 minutes, until set on top and golden.

Serve warm, topped with the coconut butter melting or refrigerate for later eating. Warm in the microwave for a 1 minute to 1 minute 30 seconds, top with coconut butter.

Serves 2.

Banana Oatmeal Bread

The warm weather caught me by surprise and led to a couple of bananas turning over ripe quickly. I made a comforting loaf of quick bread rich with bananas and applesauce, low on fat and high in fiber. It was a nice loaf, not overly sweet, perfect with a little butter on top.

Banana Oatmeal Bread

Ingredients:

  • ½ cup + 2 Tbsp all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup + 2 Tbsp white whole wheat flour
  • ½ cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp kosher salt
  • ¼ tsp baking powder
  • 1 Tbsp sunflower oil or vegetable oil
  • 4 egg whites
  • 2 very ripe bananas, mashed (about ¾ cup)
  • 6 Tbsp unsweetened applesauce
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 1 cup old-fashioned oats

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 350 and spray a glass loaf pan with cooking spray.

Whisk the flours through baking powder in a large mixing bowl.

Whisk the oil through vanilla in a small bowl, add to the wet and stir till mixed, stir in the oats.

Spread into the prepared pan, bake for 45 to 60 minutes, until a knife comes out clean in the center. Let cool for 10 minutes, turn out onto a cooling rack, slice when cool.

Store tightly wrapped.

Makes 1 loaf.
