Oatmeal with Apples and Pistachio Butter!!

This Oatmeal with Apples and Pistachio Butter is one of my go to breakfasts whenever I am feeling very hungry in the morning or need very energy dense breakfast due to some upcoming activity like running lots of errands throughout the day or being busy until late afternoon. The combination of apples and pistachio butter is heavenly and is tastier than even apples and peanut butter!! 😛

The combination of rich and creamy hazelnut milk along with the pistachio butter makes the oatmeal very creamy. In addition, whole grain oats and chia seeds, makes it thick and nutrition rich. Adding things like nuts and granola from the top, gives the oatmeal a nice crunch. Adding apples enhances the nutrition profile and makes the dish naturally sweet. Cacao nibs are a contrasting boost of flavor in the oatmeal! 😉

Granola [Healthy, Homemade, Easy]

Granola is a healthy and power packed mixture of oats, a variety of nuts, seeds and dried fruits and usually some form of mild sweetener. It is roasted to give it a pleasant aroma and crunch. Granola is most often eaten as a topping on an oatmeal or a porridge, served at breakfast. It is one of the best breakfast choices as it provides our bodies with all the boost of nutrition that it needs to kick start our mornings in the best way possible!

Granola

There are a lot of Granolas available in the supermarkets today. And as much as they claim to be “healthy”, “sugar-free” or “all natural”, the ingredients list says otherwise. Most of them are laden with a lot of bad quality oils/butter and excessive refined sugar. Additionally, artificial colors and flavors are added to them to make them even more desirable. All these things make something so healthy such as Granola a bad food choice. Hence, it is always a good practice to make Granola at home as it is not only 100% healthy but also extremely easy to make and inexpensive as compared to the ones in the market.
