This Baked Pumpkin Spice Apple Oatmeal is filled with chunks of warm tender apples and a hint of pumpkin and cinnamon spices. It is fall in a bowl!
This oatmeal isn’t too sweet and it has a ton of flavors. When I think of Fall desserts; apples and pumpkin spice is always the first on my mind. I enjoy this oatmeal for breakfast and for dessert with some vanilla ice cream on top ;).
The beginning of Fall in California this year felt a little like summer. Chilly mornings and evenings are slowly making an appearance! As of lately, in the mornings there is chilly air and the afternoons warm up a bit with some sunshine. The evenings are definitely starting to feel like Fall especially with the time-change.
Along with planning a wedding (YAY! JUNE 22, 2019!) I have been trying to workout in the mornings before work and eat healthier- and WOW, I have noticed a huge impact on my energy levels throughout the day. I’m not getting any younger and I only have one body so eating nutrient dense meals as much as possible is high on my priority list. Plus, I want to be in the best shape for my wedding, duh!
Another dish that comes to mind when I think of Fall breakfast or dessert dishes is this Healthy Pomegranate Apple Cobbler I made last winter—and YES I ate cobbler for breakfast!
