Apple Cinnamon Glow Oatmeal

Apple Cinnamon Glow Oatmeal

A warm cozy breakfast from Natalie’s kitchen — creamy oats simmered with apples, cinnamon, maple, and nourishing ingredients that make chilly mornings feel softer and slower.

There’s something about oatmeal in the fall that just feels right.

Warm bowls. Cinnamon filling the kitchen. Steam rising from the stove while the mornings start turning colder outside.

This apple cinnamon oatmeal has become one of those comforting breakfasts we come back to every autumn.

Soft cooked apples. Toasty walnuts. Cozy spices. A splash of creamy coconut milk melting into the top.

Simple food always seems to hit the deepest this time of year.

And while it tastes incredibly comforting, oats also happen to be one of my favorite glow foods for supporting healthy skin and gut health from within.

Especially when using sprouted oats, which are easier to digest and incredibly nourishing.

Why We Love It

Oats

A wonderful source of fiber that helps support gut health, steady energy, and overall skin glow from within.

Apples

Naturally sweet and rich in antioxidants while adding freshness and texture to the oatmeal.

Cinnamon + Ginger

Warming spices that bring comforting flavor while helping support balance and circulation.

Walnuts

Healthy fats and crunch that make the oatmeal more satisfying and nourishing.

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon grass-fed butter
  • 1 medium crisp apple
  • 3 tablespoons raw honey or 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon clove
  • pinch Himalayan salt
  • 2 cups apple cider or water
  • 1 cup sprouted rolled oats or steel cut oats
  • 1/2 cup raw walnuts
  • coconut milk for serving

Optional Toppings

  • chopped dried dates
  • dried goji berries
  • sliced banana
  • extra honey drizzle

Directions

Instant Pot Method

Add all ingredients to the Instant Pot and cook on high pressure for 20 minutes.

Stovetop Method

In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium-high heat.

Add the chopped apple, honey or maple syrup, cinnamon, ginger, clove, and salt.

Cook for 2–3 minutes until the apples begin softening and the kitchen smells incredible.

Pour in the apple cider or water and bring to a gentle boil.

Stir in the oats and reduce heat to medium.

Cook for several minutes, stirring occasionally, until the oats soften and most of the liquid is absorbed.

Stir in the walnuts and continue cooking until creamy.

Serve warm with coconut milk and your favorite toppings.

Glow Note

This is the kind of breakfast that makes colder mornings feel comforting instead of rushed.

A warm bowl in your hands. Cozy spices in the air. Slow moments before the day begins.

Always one of my favorite rituals this time of year.

Love + Eat Well,
Natalie
