1 healthy serving

1/2 c old-fashioned oats
1 c water
1/4 t vanilla extract
1/2 t cinnamon
1 T ground flax seed
1 t packed brown sugar
1/3 c diced apples

Notes:
Gluten-free: This is gluten-free as long as the oats you buy are gluten-free.
Dairy-free: This recipe is dairy-free.
Water: You can use milk instead of water if you'd like a creamier consistency or wish to add more protein to your meal.
Ground Flax Seed: It's not necessary, but it’s a healthy fat, adds fiber and includes protein that makes the oatmeal a lot more filling.
Brown Sugar: Brown sugar can be substituted for pure maple syrup as a healthier alternative.
Meal Prep:
Place all ingredients in a microwave safe container or jar. Store in fridge until ready to heat and eat. Make as many containers up for however many days you are prepping for.
