How do you like the sound of starting your morning with the warming taste of apple pie, without all the calories and fat? It sounds good to me! This Apple Pie Oatmeal is a delicious vegan breakfast made with almond milk, shredded apple, cinnamon and some maple syrup for extra sweetness. It makes getting out of bed on a cold morning that little bit easier!
Can you think of a tastier food combination than apple and cinnamon? They are the perfect match, especially at this time of year. If you are looking to add more fruit to your diet, then this is a good recipe to start with as the apple is shredded and cooked with the porridge, making it nice and soft. It's a great recipe for toddlers too!

What you will need
- 60g Oats
- 350ml Unsweetened almond milk
- 1 apple, shredded
- 2 tablespoon maple syrup
- 0.5 teaspoon cinnamon
- Apple slices and pecans for serving (optional)
Step by step
One: Grate the apple using a coarse grater.
Two: Put the oats, Blue Diamond Almond Milk, shredded apple, maple syrup and cinnamon in to a pan and gently head for 4-5 minutes until thickened. Serve in bowls with apple slices and pecans on top.
Vegan porridge
We can sometime get in a bit of a rut with always having eggs for breakfast, but we are trying to eat more vegan meals, so we are having less eggs in the morning and more porridge. It's super easy to make porridge vegan - just use a dairy free milk and swap any honey for maple syrup and skip the yoghurt.
Dessert for breakfast
You know when you wake up craving dessert? No, just me? Well if and when you do, you need to make yourself some of this. All the delicious flavour you get from an apple pie, but vegan and lower in calories.
Now, it's not just the apples and almond milk that make this breakfast worthy of getting out of bed, but the cinnamon too. Just a little bit adds so much flavour, without adding lots of extra calories and it's also seen as a superfood.
A whole tablespoon (not that you would want to eat that much in one go) has under 20 calories in it and it is also high in calcium, fibre and magnesium. It is also anti inflammatory and helps to lower cholesterol too. Win!
Extra tips
- Add some pecans on top when serving for some extra crunch.
- Want more spice in it? Add some nutmeg and ginger too.
- You could swap the apple for pear, or use a mixture of them both.
- Want this on a warm day? Make it as overnight oats. Just mix everything together the night before and put in the fridge overnight. Top with extra apple and pecans before serving.

Does this work with oatmilk? Thanks!

There is no reason why not. It might be a bit thicker, so add a little more milk.
