Healthy Apple-Pumpkin Oatmeal


This was breakfast this morning! It's not pancakes, but it's still pretty delicious and very fall. I actually just modified a recipe I have in a low-calorie cookbook. It uses apple juice instead of cider and dried apples instead of fresh. That's really the only difference, so thank you Better Homes and Gardens!

What you need:

4 peeled, diced apples
1/2 can pumpkin
1 1/3 cup water
2/3 cup apple cider

1 1/4 cup quick cooking oats
1 tbs brown sugar
cinnamon
nutmeg
ginger

Plain Greek Yogurt
Honey



What you do:

Boil the apples, pumpkin, water, and cider.


In a bowl, combine the dry ingredients (besides the yogurt). add the spices according to your tastes. I like a lot of cinnamon! Add this combination to the boiling ingredients. 

Cook and stir for one minute. That's it for the oatmeal! What's with the yogurt you ask? Well, if you want, you can serve it over yogurt. I usually buy plain greek yogurt (because I use it as sour cream), so I add some honey to sweeten it, but this oatmeal is sweet enough that you may not want the honey. Add according to preference, of course. Enjoy your healthy breakfast :)
