Weight Watchers Apple Cinnamon Steel Cut Oatmeal

I have been looking for good Weight Watchers breakfast ideas, and never even considered oatmeal to be a choice.  After trial and error, this apple cinnamon steel cut oatmeal has become a favorite go-to breakfast that is packed with fiber and flavor. 

WEIGHT WATCHERS APPLE CINNAMON STEEL CUT OATMEAL

The Wee Child hasn't quite gotten into the habit of eating steel-cut oatmeal, but he likes this one because of the flavor.  It can be tough finding a Weight Watchers breakfast or Weight Watchers oatmeal that everyone in the house will love, but this one does the trick.

We typically sweeten with honey, but you can easily use maple syrup or blackstrap molasses instead.  Whatever your preference, this recipe is simple to adapt.

Ingredients

• ½ cup steel-cut oats
• 1 apple, peeled and diced
• 2 cups water
• 1 cup 1% milk
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• ⅛ teaspoon salt

How to Make Apple Cinnamon Oatmeal

In a medium saucepan, bring the water, milk, honey, and vanilla to a boil over medium heat. 

Stir in the apples and oatmeal. 

Allow the mixture to simmer for 10 minutes, stirring regularly. 

Stir in the cinnamon and salt then continue cooking for another 3 to 5 minutes. 

Remove from heat and serve. 

Slow Cooker Instructions

Spray or line the slow cooker then pour all ingredients in and stir to combine. 

Cook for 1 ½ to 2 hours on low heat or until desired consistency.

Since this Weight Watchers oatmeal takes a little bit longer to cook than the common quick-cut oats, you may prefer the simple Crockpot directions listed above.  Additionally, cooking larger batches and portioning to freeze is a great idea.  This apple cinnamon steel cut oatmeal reheats quickly in the microwave and retains its texture well from freezer to microwave to table.

For a non-oatmeal fan, this Weight Watchers Apple Cinnamon Steel Cut Oatmeal is a great breakfast.  It is also a wonderful treat for dessert or depending on your calorie or point allowance, it can make a great snack too!
