This apple cinnamon oatmeal is one of my go-to weekday breakfasts. Not only is it quick and easy to make but it’s made with kitchen staples and the simple combination of apples and cinnamon elevates a humble bowl of oatmeal to a cozy and heart-warming breakfast that you can eat any day of the year.

This recipe calls for rolled oats, however, you could certainly use steel-cut or quick-cooking oats if you prefer, just be sure to adjust the cooking time accordingly. Regardless of what format you choose, this oatmeal recipe is a well-balanced meal complete with carbohydrates, healthy fats and 15 grams of protein per serving.
