Oatmeal is also great with fruits of your liking and for this recipe, we’ll be using apples, but feel free to switch it up a few mornings out of the week and enjoy homemade oatmeal with blueberries, bananas, or strawberries instead. The pairings are endless!
If you’re adding fruit. the trick is to slightly cook them first, then add your oats, water and flavors last. Then let boil with a lid for about ten minutes and DONE!
