Breakfast Recipes: Apple Cider Oatmeal

on October 14, 2009 at 12:00 PM

oatmeal with apples I eat oatmeal for breakfast almost every single morning. So I'm always looking for ways to jazz it up. One of my favorite things to make in the fall is apple cider oatmeal. It couldn't be easier to make, and you don't have to add sugar because the cider is sweet enough on its own.

Here's how to do it:

Make oatmeal as directed on the package, substituting apple cider for half of the water you would ordinarily use. For example, I typically use 2/3 cup water for my single serving of oatmeal. When making apple cider oatmeal, I use 1/3 cup apple cider and 1/3 cup water. See? Easy!

I like my apple cider oatmeal topped with apple slices, cinnamon, and maybe a few slivered almonds. Delicious!

What do you add to your oatmeal to make it more "exciting?"

I make steel cut oatmeal 3-4 times a week.. usually I add cinnamon and raisins but lately I've been slicing up some granny smiths, cooking them in a pan (spray with pam, toss with, cinnamon, and a bit of sugar) and we all top our oats with that and some walnuts. So delicious!
