Servings 2
Ingredients
- 1/2 inch a Large apple chopped into 1 cubes (about 2/3 cup), I like Fujis
- Water
- 1 Tbsp Pure maple syrup + additional for serving optional *read notes
- 1 Cup Rolled old fashioned oatmeal
- 1/2 Tbsp Cinnamon
- 3/4 Cup + 2 Tbsp Unsweetened vanilla almond milk
- 1/4 Cup + 2 Tbsp Unsweetened apple sauce
For the topping:
- 1 Tbsp Almond flour
- 1 Tbsp Rolled old fashioned oatmeal
- 1/2 Tbsp Coconut sugar
- 1 tsp Coconut oil softened to room temperature (should be the consistency of softened butter)
Instructions
- Place the chopped apple into a medium, micro-wave safe bowl and fill with water until the apples are JUST covered. Cover with a lid (or a plate) and microwave for 4 minutes, or until the apples are tender and begin to soften.
- Drain the water and add in the maple syrup. Cover the bowl again and microwave an additional 2-3 minutes until the apples are fairly soft and the syrup has absorbed into the apples a little bit.
- Using a fork mash the apples, but leave them a little bit chunky for texture. Divide between two cups. Note: your maple syrup won't be totally absorbed into the apples, this is normal. Just divide that between the 2 cups as well.
- In a medium bowl, mix the oatmeal and cinnamon together. Add in the almond milk and apple sauce and stir until well combined.
- Divide the oatmeal mixture between the two cups and refrigerate overnight.
- To make the crumbs:
- Mix together the almond flour, oatmeal and coconut sugar in a small bowl. Add in the coconut oil and mix, using your hands, until crumbly.
- Spread the mixture onto a microwave-safe plate and microwave for 1 minute. Stir, and the microwave for an additional 30-60 seconds until lightly golden brown. Your crumbs WON'T be crunchy yet.
- Place into the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to harden (I just make mine at the same time I make the oats and let them sit overnight.)
- The next morning, divide the crumbs between the cups and DEVOUR.
Notes
*My husband thought this was the perfect sweetness, and I thought it could MAYBE use a little more. So, I recommend using 1 Tbsp syrup and tasting in the morning. If you need sweeter, stir in a little more syrup.
