Question 1

Can I use quick-cooking or steel cut oats instead?

Accepted Answer

Yes, but the texture and cooking time will differ. Quick-cooking oats will result in a creamier consistency and cook much faster, while steel-cut oats will take longer to cook and have a harder, chewier texture. Adjust the liquid and cooking time accordingly.

Question 2

Can I make this oatmeal sweeter or less sweet?

Accepted Answer

To make the oatmeal sweeter, you can add more brown sugar, a drizzle of maple syrup, or honey while cooking or when serving.

If you prefer it less sweet, reduce the amount of brown sugar in the recipe, or omit it altogether and rely on the natural sweetness of the apples.

Question 3

How can I boost the protein content in this oatmeal?

Accepted Answer

Try adding a scoop of protein powder, stir in some Greek yogurt, or mix in a tablespoon or two of nut butter like almond or peanut butter.

You can also sprinkle in some chia seeds or flaxseeds, or top your oatmeal with nuts, seeds, or a spoonful of cottage cheese for an extra protein punch.

Question 4

It's a little bland for me, how can I add more flavor?

Accepted Answer

To add more flavor, simply increase the amount of apple pie spice. You can start by adding an extra half teaspoon.
