Apple Crumble Oats (low histamine)

🍎This gloomy weather calls for all things apple spice, crumble toppings, and caramel. You can have all 3 in this delicious breakfast. It’s dessert for breakfast around here, again.

Make apple spice oats (with fresh chopped apples of course) with some chia seeds, add a layer of my Sunbutter Caramel, and top it all with no bake crumble! Add a little more caramel, and garnish with some fresh apple slices and a sprinkle of unrefined coconut sugar or ground cloves (or both)! That’s it, super easy!

OATS INGREDIENTS

1/3 c GF quick oats 

1 large apple/2 small apples, peeled/cored and chopped 

1 tbsp chia seeds

Small pinch cardamom, to taste 

1/4 tsp ground ginger, to taste 

Healthy pinch ground cloves, to taste 

1 tsp pure vanilla powder

Pinch sea salt

1-2 tsp coconut sugar,to taste 

1 tbsp maple syrup, to taste

½ tsp lime juice

1 ¼ c + 1 tbsp unsweetened almond milk (Three Trees Almond Milk)

NO BAKE CRUMBLE INGREDIENTS (mix all ingredients, then freeze)

½ c almond flour

1 tsp coconut flour

1 tsp coconut sugar, to taste (1 tsp gives you mild sweetness)

½ tsp pure vanilla powder 

2 tbsp virgin coconut oil 

Pinch of sea salt

Optional: maple syrup, unsweetened shredded coconut, pecans

**Alternately you can bake it at 350°F for about 8-10 minutes (watch closely), then flip and bake for 5 more minutes. Remove from oven, and break up big chunks with a fork.**

SUNBUTTER CARAMEL INGREDIENTS (whip all ingredients with a fork)

2 tbsp organic unsweetened Sunbutter 

2 tbsp maple syrup 

1 tsp virgin coconut oil

MAKE IT

1. Combine the oats, chia seeds, apples, cardamon, ginger, cloves, sea salt, vanilla powder, almond milk, and maple syrup in a medium size saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally. 

2. As soon as it boils, reduce heat to low and simmer for just a few minutes, until the oats are soft and the apples are tender. Remove from the heat, add lime juice, then add brown sugar (to taste). Place in a serving jar immediately (before it thickens more).

3. While the oats are cooking, make no bake crumble and freeze for 10-15 minutes. Make Sunbutter Caramel.

4. Top oats with Sunbutter Caramel.

5. Remove crumble from the freezer, and top oats with as much of it as you want (break up any large pieces with a fork). Drizzle a bit more of the Sunbutter Caramel on top of the crumble, and finish the oats off with a few slices of fresh apple and a sprinkle of coconut sugar or ground cloves (or both)! Serve immediately, as you want the crumble have that crunchy texture (it’ll soften a bit as it sits out).

**GF/DF/LOW HISTAMINE (I followed mastcell360 low histamine foods list very strictly initially, then added some foods from the SIGHI list as I began to tolerate more foods, all under the care of a dietitian. A low histamine diet is restrictive and not meant to be followed long-term, as nutrient deficiencies may develop).**
