Ingredients
  

  • 1 Red apple cut into small cubes
  • 1 tbsp Maple syrup plus extra for serving
  • 1 to 2 tsp Cinnamon speculoos spice, or pumpkin spice
  • 1/3 cup Oats
  • 2/3 cup + 2 tbs water
  • Optional cinnamon or sweetener
  • 1/3 cup Milk of choice
  • 1 Scoop collagen
  • 2 tbsp Ground flaxseeds
  • 2 tbsp Greek yoghurt 5 percent unflavoured
  • 2 tbsp Pecans chopped

Instructions
 

Cooking the apples:

  • Start by placing a small pan over medium heat.
  • Add the apple cubes, maple syrup, spices, and water to the pan.
  • Stir everything together and let it gently simmer for about 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the apples become soft and slightly caramelized.
  • If the pan looks dry at any point, add a small splash of water to prevent sticking.

Making the oats:

  • Once the apples are soft, transfer them to a small bowl and set aside.
  • In the same pan, add the oats and water. Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat, then lower the heat slightly and let the oats cook for about 5 minutes.
  • Stir often so the oats do not stick to the bottom of the pan and cook evenly.

Stir in the superfoods:

  • When the oats look creamy and have absorbed most of the water, stir in the milk, collagen, and ground flaxseeds.
  • Keep stirring for another 1 to 2 minutes until everything is fully mixed and the oatmeal reaches a smooth, creamy texture.

Add the toppings:

  • Spoon the oatmeal into a bowl and top with Greek yoghurt, the warm apple mixture, a drizzle of maple syrup, and the chopped pecans.
  • Enjoy it while warm for the coziest and most comforting superfood oatmeal experience.
