I was getting tired of traditional oatmeal for breakfast because following the anti-inflammatory diet plan, there were only so many ways I could come up with that made me happy. Then I thought about those no bake cookies we ate as a child and the oats weren't cooked!

Ingredients For oats and apple

  • 1-2 Tbsp
    olive oil
  • 1
    apple, cored & chopped
  • To taste
    ground cinnamon, ginger, cloves, nutmeg, allspice
  • 1/4 c
    pecans, walnuts...
  • 2-ish Tbsp
    honey
  • 1/2 c
    old fashioned oats

How To Make oats and apple

  • 1
    Preheat pan with enough olive oil to coat the bottom of the pan. I put my setting on 5. You don't want to burn the apples, you just want them to be tender.
  • 2
    Meanwhile, core and chop apple into small, bite sized pieces and add to the pan
  • 3
    Sprinkle on desired spices to your taste. Tip; ginger is an anti-inflammatory and a dash or 2 would be great for you!
  • 4
    Stir apples
  • Cheaper to chop yourself.
    5
    Add nuts. Tip; buy pecans & walnuts on sale and toss them in the freezer. It is also cheaper to purchase halves and chop them yourself.
  • 6
    Stir apples & nuts
  • 7
    Add honey. I don't really measure, I just go up and down one way then across the other way to coat the apples and nuts good.
  • 8
    Stir and continue to stir occasionally, until the apples have reached your desired tenderness. 5 or so minutes should work, depending on the thickness of your apples.
  • 9
    Meanwhile, pour your 1/2 cup of uncooked oatmeal into a 4-8 cup sized bowl.
  • Still hot!
    10
    Once the apples have reached your desired tenderness, pour them into the bowl with the oats, and be sure to scrape all the honey into the bowl too.
  • 11
    Mix apple & oats until the oats are no longer dry & completely coated.
  • If you follow the anti-inflammatory diet plan, this meal cover's your PFF's.
    12
    Eat alone or as a side or as a topper to whatever you wish. Great on pancakes!
