Just because you have to rush out the door in the morning doesn’t mean you don’t have time for a really, realllllly good breakfast – I promise! This bowl of oats its better than your average thanks to the delicious combo of apple, maple, and pecans BUT it still comes together in a flash because you cook everything in your microwave! The whole bowl comes together from start to finish is about 7-8 minutes. Still don’t have time for that?! Make it the night before and reheat whenever you’re ready to eat! 5 WW SmartPoints on both the Blue and Green WW plans for this delicious, hearty bowl.
I had been making this apple pecan and oat combo for a good while and then one morning it hit me – add a drizzle of maple syrup on top! O.M.G. It took my bowl of oats to a whole new level! I have no idea why it took me so long to think of drizzling syrup on my oats, I aammmm obsessed with all things maple after all. You seriously have to try it!
For this breakfast you start off with a basic bowl of microwaved oats. Simple, yeah?! Next you make a batch of my Ooey Gooey Microwave Apples and toss it right on top of your oats. Add a drizzle of sugar free maple syrup (I use Joseph’s maple syrup), a splash of almond milk, and some chopped pecans (or walnuts!). Your basic bowl of microwaved oats has now transformed into a cozy, hearty breakfast that is perfect for any weekday!
