My Apple Cinnamon Water is getting a lot of attention for its metabolism boosting properties, so I wanted to create more recipes that use those two ingredients. I added more metabolism boosting ingredients too to really gear up your metabolism first thing in the morning. The Almond Milk, Oatmeal, Apples, Apple Sauce and Cinnamon all Boost Metabolism!
Want to keep your metabolism roaring all day? Try out my Caliente Baked Potato for lunch and Easy Baked Whole Chicken with a Metabolism Boosting Fruit and Nut Salad for dinner, both boost metabolism and keep you full and happy.
Makes 2 servings-
1 cup Old Fashioned or Steal Cut Oatmeal
2 cups Almond Milk
1 Apple thinly sliced then cut into thirds (basically thin bite sized pieces)
2 tsp Cinnamon
2 tsp Maple Syrup
1 cup unsweetened Apple Sauce (if you have the little cups each is 1/2 cup)
In a medium sauce pan combine the almond milk, oatmeal, cinnamon and maple syrup, heat on low until most of the milk is absorbed (string as needed), once most of the milk is absorbed add in the apple sauce and stir together. If you like your apples soft add them in now too, if you like some crunch wait until you are about to serve to stir in.
Once all the apple sauce and milk is absorbed, about 15-20 minutes total, scoop out and serve.
The Almond Milk, Oatmeal, Apples, Apple Sauce and Cinnamon all Boost Metabolism! Talk about a super charged breakfast! Below is a metabolism chart I found on Pintrest, I made it my desktop background so I can reference anytime, click on it and save it for yourself it is a great quick reference.

I may have over looked the serving size but is it a cup for 309 calories?
It’s about 1 cup, maybe a little more. 1/2 of this recipe is 309 calories. Hope that helps.
HAPPY COOKING!
This is pretty close to what I made but I cook it in the microwave so it’s quick and easy. Turns out supper yummy.
I can imagine that would be great in the microwave, I am lucky enough that I get to take my time on breakfast
HAPPY COOKING!

Do you think this could be made ahead of time and reheated in microwave?
Yes I do, if you want your apples mushy put them in over night, of not hold off until the morning reheating.
HAOOY COOKING!
Sounds tasty but waaaaaay too many carbs!
Carbs are fuel and this is breakfast not a midnight snack. This is the perfect breakfast for someone looking to lose weight the natural way.
HAPPY COOKING!
I just made this for the first time! Oh My Goodness, what a yummy breakfast. My nine yr. old and husband loved it and asked for seconds. So glad I found this.
I will try this recipe for tomorrows breakfast, but, can I use any other milk? Like lactose free ? Or 2% skim milk?
Use whatever milk you prefer
HAPPY COOKING!
I am following a low GI plan after doing a 7-day cleanse, trying to loose 15 lbs a medication for Fibromyalgia piled onto me. I love your site and your story and I plan to use many of your recipes. However, I put almond milk in my coffee this morning then had to pour it out — the overwhelming nuttiness it yuk to me. I also tried this oatmeal, even though I’ve never liked oatmeal. I could barely choke down half a serving. I’m sure your recipe is lovely, but eating oatmeal is like eating cardboard. I just can’t stand it.
SOOOO, my question is…. what can I substitute for oatmeal? I am fine with it in cookies and grinding it up to make flour, but just can’t stand a bowl of oatmeal. And is there any other type of milk with low sugar and metabolism boosting properties that I might like better?
Thanks!
I have LOTS of breakfast recipes that have oatmeal, but not a bowl of oatmeal.For instance my Oatmeal Raisin Breakfast Cookies or Chocolate Granola. Here are all of my breakfast recipes:
