Christina's Notes
- Nuts: Almonds, pecans, or walnuts add a great crunch.
- Sweeten: Drizzle maple syrup or honey drizzled on top to make the oatmeal sweeter.
- Variation tip: Raisins or dried cranberries make a wonderful oatmeal. You can also use apple pie spice instead of pumpkin spice for even more delicious apple flavor.
- Alternate ingredient: Chia seeds or hemp seeds add Omega-3 to the apple pie oatmeal.
- Apple Cinnamon Baked Oatmeal: Try using an instant pot or crock pot to cook the oatmeal. You can also make baked oatmeal bars in the oven as well.
- Protein Oatmeal: Add a vanilla protein powder to increase the amount of protein.
