Health Benefits Of Cinnamon Oatmeal With Apples
Cinnamon is a spice with lots of health benefits so adding a pinch of cinnamon to the oatmeal can make it more healthy and it also offers wonderful flavor and aroma to the dish.
This cinnamon oatmeal also has apples so it also has the health benefits of apples!
We also use pure fresh maple syrup instead of white refined sugar and pure fresh maple syrup is a natural sweetener which is considered a better option to sweeten your oatmeal!
So this cinnamon apple oatmeal sweetened with maple syrup is pretty healthy compared to regular oats sweetened just with sugar!
I have also made this delicious apple cinnamon oatmeal without milk & sugar, which is a vegan recipe on stove top.
You can make this quickly in microwave, and it is delicious and full of flavor from apple and cinnamon powder.
The use of steel cut oats make this chewy as well which is a bonus, but you can also use regular quick cooking oats if that is what your preference is.
As I mentioned, I have used pure fresh maple syrup for sweetening this homemade cinnamon apple oatmeal recipe, but you can also use white sugar or your favorite natural sweeteners like raw honey or stevia or whatever you like.

How To Make Cinnamon Apple Oatmeal In Microwave?
We use the following ingredients to make easy, delicious, basic microwave oatmeal with cinnamon powder and apple.
ingredients to make cinnamon apple microwave oatmeal
steel cut oats ½ cup
water 1 cup
pure maple syrup 2 to 3 tablespoons
apple 1 chopped
organic cinnamon powder ¼ tsp
whole milk ¼ cup
Step by step instructions
Add the oats to a microwave safe bowl which is large enough to hold all ingredients.
I make sure that when I add the oats it is only filling up to half of the bowl, which helps prevents spilling and boiling over so we can cook easily in microwave without boiling over.
Add the water and maple syrup to the oats, microwave in high for 1 minute.
After 1 minute, mix the ingredients gently using a spoon and microwave for another 1 minute.
Now let us give a cooling time of about 1 to 2 minutes for the oats before heating again.
Meanwhile you can add the milk and mix everything well.
Now add the chopped apple pieces and cinnamon powder as well, and gently mix them with the oatmeal.
Heat in the microwave for another 30 seconds so everything will warm up nicely.
Oatmeal cooked in microwave tends to be really hot as soon as you take it out. So let us give some time to cool off the dish.
This will take around 2 to 3 minutes.
Serve the warm and delicious homemade cinnamon apple oatmeal for breakfast or snack.
If you wish to make this vegan, you may use plant based milk alternatives like almond milk if you wish.
You may also just cook the oats in plain water instead of milk, since apple cinnamon oatmeal tastes delicious even without milk.
Notes: Homemade cinnamon apple oatmeal recipe made in microwave is delicious and full of flavor.
You can top up the dish with nuts of your choice, raisins etc.
If you want to save this for later, you store thin in air tight food containers and keep refrigerated.
As it cools down, oatmeal thickens naturally, so you may need to add more milk & stir well to enjoy this in your preferred consistency.
