Instructions
-
Prep the Apple: Core the apple and chop it into chunks. You can leave the skin on for extra fiber and nutrients, as long as you have a decent blender!
-
Combine: Add the apple, oats, milk, yogurt (or banana), and cinnamon into your blender.
-
Blend: Start on a low speed and gradually increase to high. Blend for about 45–60 seconds until the oats are completely pulverized and the texture is silky smooth.
-
Taste Test: If you prefer it sweeter, add your maple syrup or a pitted date and pulse again.
-
Serve: Pour into glasses. Top with a pinch of dry rolled oats and an extra dusting of cinnamon to match the photo.
💡 Pro-Tips for the Best Texture
-
Keep it Cold: Use a frozen banana or add a handful of ice cubes to give it that “milkshake” thickness.
-
Soak the Oats: If you don’t have a high-speed blender, let the oats soak in the milk for 5 minutes before blending to ensure there’s no “gritty” aftertaste.
-
The Apple Choice: Honeycrisp, Fuji, or Gala apples work best for sweetness, while Granny Smith adds a nice tart kick.
