Apple Banana Crumble Oatmeal 

apple banana oatmeal

With some mornings during the week crazy hectic, I like to take my time getting the day started on the weekends. A big wholesome breakfast is my first step! (Well, after I have had my coffee, of course). Slowing down and having breakfast with the family is my favorite way to be present and enjoy those cozy winter mornings.

I have revamped my apple banana crumble oatmeal and wanted to share with you all my delicious oatmeal recipe! Perfect for cold winter mornings, this hearty breakfast will fill you up and make your kitchen smell amazing.

My favorite oats are the Bob’s Red Mill Extra Thick Rolled Oats. TIP: Using a browned banana works best, the softer it is, the easier it is to mash into the oats

Add the almond milk and water to a medium size pan.

While the milk and water are being heated on medium, cut up half an apple (or more) into tiny pieces

Once the water and milk have come to a boil you can add the oats, apple pieces and the banana to the pan.

Mash the banana into the mixture and stir well.

Let that simmer on medium-low about 20-25 minutes or so (less time if you want your oatmeal more watery).

Now you can start making the crumble while the oats mixture cooks.

Add the flour, brown sugar and cinnamon into a separate bowl and stir to combine.

Melt the butter in a small glass bowl in the microwave for 20-30 seconds. (Be careful when taking that bowl out of the microwave!)

Drizzle the melted butter over the flour mixture and using a whisk or fork, combine the mixture.

The crumble will be chunky and start to clump together. You can break it up into finer pieces with the whisk or keep the clumps larger.

Once your oats are done cooking, you can scoop a generous amount of the oats into a small bowl and pile on that crumble topping.

I like to add a couple thin slices of apple on top and sometimes an extra sprinkle of cinnamon.

Apple Banana Crumble Oatmeal

Prep Time 5 minutes
Cook Time 25 minutes
Total Time 30 minutes
Servings 2

Ingredients

  • 1 Banana
  • 1 C Water
  • 1 C Almond milk
  • 1 Apple
  • 1/2 C Rolled oats

For the crumble topping

  • 1 C Flour
  • 1/4 C Brown sugar
  • 4 Tbs Butter
  • 1/2-1 tsp Cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Add the milk and water to a medium size pan

  2. While the milk and water are being heated on medium, cut up half an apple (or more) into tiny pieces
  3. Once the water and milk have come to a light boil you can add the oats, apple pieces and the banana.

  4. Mash the banana into the mixture and stir well
  5. Let that simmer on medium-low about 20-25 minutes or so (less time if you want your oatmeal more watery)
  6. While those oats are cooking you can prep that delicious crumble

For the crumble topping

  1. In a separate bowl, add the flour, brown sugar and cinnamon

  2. Melt the butter in the microwave in a small glass bowl (I do 20-30 seconds at a time and stir until it is almost completely melted)

  3. Add the butter to the flour mixture and using a fork or whisk mix together

The warm oatmeal with the cool crisp apple slices is the perfect combo!

This makes enough oatmeal for me and my son to share plus there is always extra of the crumble topping so I usually just cover the bowl of topping with aluminum foil or plastic wrap and throw it into the fridge for the next day! This crumble is great on top of yogurt too! It keeps for a few days in the fridge.

Do you have a favorite way to cook oatmeal?

    I don’t have time to cook oatmeal, so I rely on the instant packets during the week, but this looks yummy and would be fun to try on the weekend!

    As sad as it sounds, I haven’t made oatmeal in over a year. My kids won’t eat it. Maybe if I took the time to cook it this way, they would gobble it up. Thanks for a great new recipe.

      The smell might persuade them! LOL also the topping is full of sugar so they may eat it because it’s so sweet

    I love that you used the browning banana. Once my banana starts getting brown, I start thinking of throwing it away. With your recipe, I have found a new way to use it. Thanks for sharing.

      Oh, mine does 😂 if I don’t have time to make this recipe I’ll just make the Crumble and add it to the top of instant oatmeal and maybe a few apple slices on top 😁

    The crumble is always my favorite part. It doesn’t matter if it’s on top of a cobbler, on ice cream, or on oats, its the hint of crunch that makes food so tasty. I cannot wait to make this recipe over the weekend.

My how time flies!
Have you ever heard of a nursing strike ? I had no Have you ever heard of a nursing strike ? I had not until I experienced this with Theo the past 2 days 😩 He refused to nurse for over 40 hours and I have been an absolute mess. He would be screaming one minute, happy as a clam the next. Waking up at 4 AM and not napping all day & would push me away and scream every time I tried to nurse him. I was in so much pain and beyond engorged. I tried pumping every few hours and the first day that worked just fine but then today my milk just would not let down and it took 45 minutes to get just over 2 ounces of milk! Last night he did finally take a bit from a sippy cup of my milk and was eating purees and snacks like normal, but just would not nurse. I called his Dr. yesterday and she had no idea what it could be. I was afraid I was going to get mastitis or that my milk would dry up or that there was something really seriously wrong with me or with Theo. I was texting my best friend just utterly exhausted and frustrated and at my wits end. 
Then around 2:00 just 15 minutes after I texted her to vent, I tried ONE more time to nurse him and he nursed!! I cried happy tears and thanked Jesus over and over. 
I never got to breastfeed my first, so this has been an all new journey with Theo. Lately nursing seemed to be getting more difficult and I was getting a bit burnt out with it- being the only one that can feed him and that he still wakes 3+ times a night to nurse... but I will never take it for granted again. What a blessing it is to be able to nurse. I am so tired I could cry again just typing this out😭 
After trying EVERYTHING it suggested to do online, he finally nursed and I can breathe again. I have no idea what was wrong, but he's nursing again normally and took nice long nap this afternoon 🙏 
Anyone experience anything like this before ?
