Easy Applesauce Oatmeal recipe. Perfect to use up leftover applesauce, this makes a quick and simple breakfast idea in only 4 ingredients.
If we are going to continue to be friends, you need to have oatmeal for breakfast at least once a week.
Or at least have an open mind about not hating oatmeal. Please and thank you?
Because I need people to help me feed my oatmeal addiction. Or at least come along for the ride.
I am trying to clear out my cupboards, because I have SO much food in the house! I don’t know how I managed to accumulate so much food in the 3 years living here, but here we are.
In the back of one of my cupboards, I found so many little containers of applesauce that will expire in a week.
Better start using it! Starting with this Applesauce Oatmeal.
It’s no surprise that the first recipe I make using the applesauce containers is oatmeal.
If you haven’t been following along with my oatmeal obsession, well. I have a whole bunch of oatmeal recipes that you can look through!
But right now, I am taking it easy and making a super simple, no topping oatmeal.
This is actually pretty rare for me. I usually top my oatmeal with alll of the toppings. But sometimes, all I want is for the flavours of the oatmeal to shine through. And that is what they do in this recipe.
One of the best parts about this Applesauce Oatmeal is that it uses only 4 ingredients:
- oats
- milk
- applesauce
- cinnamon
That is it! And I am sure you have all of those ingredients at home!
I used raspberry applesauce because I recently found out it is my favourite applesauce now, but you can use whatever you have on hand.
Happy Monday, oatmeal eating friends!

My mom made our oatmeal with a tablespoon or 2 of applesauce and a sprinkle of cinnamon, almost every school day morning. I grew up believing that was just something everyone ate. It’s such a natural combo.

Can you use water instead of milk? We are a milk free home for the most part!
Yes you definitely can!
Will this recipe work with microwaving the mixture instead of using the stove?
Yes, it can still work that way!
I used a full tsp of cinnamon, but I love cinnamon!
