  1. Core and finely chop half an apple.
  2. In a bowl or large mug, combine the oats, egg, almond milk, and sweetner, and stir with a fork. Add the chopped apple and cinnamon. Stir again until everything is fully combined.
  3. Microwave on high for 2 minutes. Stir with a fork. Microwave an additional 30 to 60 seconds, if needed. (Note: cook times may vary due to differences in microwaves.)

Notes

  • Nutrition Calculation is not precise. The nutrition of specific brands of ingredients may differ from the generic nutrition calculation.
  • Adapted from the Davita Kidney Care website.
  • Apple - I used fuji apples as they are naturally one of the sweetest. However, you could use whatever sweet apples you have on hand.
  • Egg - I used large eggs. You could leave the egg out for regular apple oatmeal. However, if you want extra protein, you can add a whole egg or just the egg whites or liquid egg whites.
  • Almond Milk - I used almond milk. However, you could use soy milk, oat milk, coconut milk, or regular milk.
  • Cinnamon - I used only about 1/4 teaspoon of ground cinnamon. However, if you prefer, you could add nutmeg as well or use apple pie spice. You can also add cinnamon sticks to garnish.
  • Sweetener - We used stevia, but you could use Monkfruit, honey, pure maple syrup, sugar-free syrup, a little brown sugar, or nothing at all, depending on your taste and what fits into your diet. Talk to a registered dietician if you have questions.
  • Oats - I used old-fashioned rolled oats, but you could use steel-cut oats or instant oats.
  • Chop the apples finely – Be sure they are not cut into too big of chunks, or they may not cook completely.
  • Egg – If you don’t want extra protein, you can omit the egg.
  • Peanut Butter Custard – Instead of apples, stir peanut butter in the oatmeal instead.
  • Chia seeds – Add chia seeds to any oatmeal recipe for additional protein, fiber, and multiple nutrients.
  • Blueberry Oatmeal Custard – Instead of apples, add blueberries to the oatmeal.
  • Strawberry Oatmeal Custard – Add strawberries instead of apples.
  • Raspberry Oatmeal Custard – Use raspberries instead of apples.
  • Pineapple Oatmeal Custard – Add chopped pineapple as the fruit.
