Morning! Hope your weekend is going fabulously.

I won’t let my banana shortage ruin my oatmeal breakfasts this weekend. Instead – I’m going with apples! While nothing can beat the creamy marshmallow texture of a whipped banana, these oats are delicious in a whole different way.

Sweet maple cinnamon apples cooked with vanilla cinnamon-scented oats, topped with a rich dollop of peanut flour sauce. Let’s begin!

You will need: (for one serving)

• 1/3 cup each oats/vanilla soy milk/water
• 1 small red apple
• tbsp. each maple syrup/water
• cinnamon
• vanilla
• tbsp. flax seed
• 2 tbsp. peanut flour
• 1.5 tbsp. water
• pinch of salt

Start by washing and chopping your apple. In a small saucepan, combine apple, equal parts maple syrup and water and a generous shake of cinnamon. Allow apple to cook until tender, about 3 minutes.

Next, add oats/vanilla soy milk/water, flax seed, a splash of vanilla and more cinnamon. Allow to cook, stirring frequently.

Meanwhile, in a small dish, combine peanut flour, water and salt. Stir until a creamy peanut butter texture forms.

Once oats have reached desired consistency, pour into a bowl and top with peanut flour sauce. Serve!

Oh yumzo.

And with that delicious breakfast in my tummy, I’m off. My roomie and I are headed to Frederick, MD today to go antique shopping and for lunch at a new BBQ restaurant in town. Sounds like a fun-filled day to me! I’ll be sure to bring you the details when I see you next.

See you then!
