Apple Chai Oatmeal at Home

Mornings have gotten chillier and chillier. And Worth keeping it. Once I wave goodbye to my girls goodbye as Haileigh drives to school, I skip go inside and make a cup of coffee, watch Today and then make breakfast a little while thereafter. I usually alternate between veggie/spinach scramble and oatmeal. Normally when I make oatmeal, I simply make regular old oatmeal and top it with cinnamon and a little brown sugar or maple syrup. After reorganizing my spice cupboard and I found my kitchen-made chai spice and a light went off.

So I heated up almond coconut milk with chai spice and simmer it until thick. I topped my bowl with kitchen-made applesauce (a recipe I’ll share soon, I promise!) and maple syrup. And not simply any maple syrup, real maple syrup. Bonus points if you get the bourbon barrel stuff. STANDOUT.

Warm chai spiced oatmeal naturally sweetened with kitchen-made applesauce and maple syrup. The dependable fall flavors!!

To cook this Apple Chai Oatmeal Set out:

• almond toasted coconut milk (or milk of your choice)
• kitchen-made chai spice
• kosher salt
• old fashioned rolled oats
• ghee or butter
• applesauce
• maple syrup
• cinnamon

Start by pouring 3-1/2 cups milk of your choice or water even, into a sauce pan.

Measure and add in 1-1/2 teaspoons chai spice and a pinch of salt to the milk.

Stir, and heat on high while stirring ofter until the milk begins to boil.

Then reduce the heat to medium-high heat and stir in 2 cups old fashioned rolled oats.

Continue to stir while the oatmeal cooks and thickens.

Keep in mind that the oatmeal will thicken even after you remove it off of the heat.

Next add in 1 tablespoon of butter or ghee.
