    Love breakfast? Then don't skip this blueberry apple oatmeal recipe and start your mornings on a healthy note. A delicious breakfast bowl that's suitable for kids and adults alike.

    oarmeal with fruit

    If you have been following my blog from the start then you will already know that I'm a huge fan of a good variety of breakfast dishes.

    This one is no different, suitable for any time of year, it's super quick and tasty too.

    I'm talking about anything from my Blueberry Banana Smoothie Bowl right down to some Slow Cooker Apple Cinnamon Oatmeal.

    I am definitely not partial when it comes to what's for breakfast at all, and probably never will be.

    Even though I grew up strictly Caribbean I'm quite happy to mix British traditions with my Caribbean culture. To me what's more important is sustaining my body with something nutritious in the mornings.Oatmeal in a black bowl

    The importance of breakfast

    Without breakfast I simply couldn't function, I would be tired, moody and just overall sluggish in my movement.

    That's not the sort of perception I'd feel comfortable with exuding towards others, rather I like to be bright eyed, content and refreshed for the morning ahead.

    Which is why it is so so important to consume something in the mornings, even if it's just a banana. At least eat something to keep hunger pangs at bay.

    Why you should make blueberry apple oatmeal

    That's why this blueberry apple oatmeal recipe should become your best friend, forever and ever.

    The texture of this oatmeal is extremely smooth and extra creamy which I credit the coconut milk for such amazing results.

    Although I like to rotate between various plant based milks - think cashew milk , almond milk ,  my favourite vegan milk for oatmeal that yields creaminess has to be coconut milk .

    However that doesn't mean that you need to feel obligated to follow suit, I have a few recipes for alternative plant based milk on the blog so pick your preference.

    The great thing about my oatmeal recipe is the topping - two words....go mad! Go crazy with the toppings, add whatever you want besides the blueberry and apple.

    You could add chia seeds, pumpkins seeds, goji berries, raisins, cranberry, nuts, additional fruit and a dollop of syrup.

    The list is endless for such a rich and creamy vegan style blueberry apple oatmeal breakfast.

    Notes and tips

    • Feel free to add any additional fruit to your oatmeal i.e raisins, cranberries, apricots
    • Use the suggested plant based milk that's referenced in the post
    • I used water along with the coconut milk to prevent sticking but you can use just coconut milk if you want to.
    • Make sure the oats you are using are certified "gluten free" if you a sensitive to trace elements
    • Double or triple the batch if required.

      Oatmeals are always great. I'm not actually vegan but this one looks really good anyway!
