Time 11m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 cup regular oatmeal
2 cups water
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
6 dried apricot halves, small diced
1/3 cup plain nonfat yogurt
2 teaspoons Splenda sugar substitute or 2 teaspoons sugar (optional)
1 -2 tablespoon chopped almonds (optional)

Steps:

  • Boil water in a small sauce pan, then add oatmeal, almond extract, and diced apricots.
  • Cook oatmeal 5-10 minutes until done according to your taste.
  • Serve with a dollop of yogurt and if you want sweetner and almons.

Tips:

  • Soaking the oats overnight: Soaking the oats overnight in the almond milk or water helps to soften them and make them more digestible. This also helps to reduce the cooking time in the morning.
  • Using fresh or dried apricots: If using fresh apricots, be sure to wash and pit them before chopping. If using dried apricots, be sure to rehydrate them in hot water for 10-15 minutes before chopping.
  • Adding nuts and seeds: Nuts and seeds add a nice crunch and extra flavor to the oatmeal. Some good options include almonds, walnuts, pecans, chia seeds, and flaxseeds.
  • Sweetening the oatmeal: If you like your oatmeal sweet, you can add a natural sweetener like maple syrup, honey, or stevia. You can also add a pinch of salt to balance out the sweetness.
  • Cooking the oatmeal: The oatmeal can be cooked on the stovetop or in the microwave. If cooking on the stovetop, bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 5-7 minutes, or until the oats are tender. If cooking in the microwave, cook on high for 2-3 minutes, or until the oats are tender.

Conclusion:

Apricot almond oatmeal is a delicious and healthy breakfast option that is easy to make. It is a good source of fiber, protein, and vitamins, and it can help you to stay full and satisfied throughout the morning. With its sweet and nutty flavor, apricot almond oatmeal is a great way to start your day off right.
