Makes 1 serving.

Make a batch of KJ’s Sugar-Free Caramel, but leave out the xanthan gum and add half of a diced apple instead. (Add the apples right after the sauce comes to a boil. There are natural pectins in the apple that will help the sauce thicken.)

Meanwhile, mix together in a medium bowl:

• 6 Tbsp. oats
• 1/4 cup nut milk
• 1/4 cup egg whites
• 3 Tbsp. Brown Swerve (or 3 tsp. THM Super Sweet plus 1/2 tsp. molasses)
• 1/2 tsp. vanilla
• 1/2 tsp. cinnamon
• a pinch of mineral salt
• 1/2 tsp. baking powder
• 1 tsp. caramel extract
• 1/2 tsp. apple extract (or vanilla extract)
• 1/2 of an apple, diced

Pour the batter into a large mug or a small bowl. The batter will be very runny. If putting in a mug, set the mug in a bowl in case of overflow. Microwave for 3 minutes (maybe more, depending on your microwave).

Dump your oatmeal out onto a plate and slather with half of the caramel sauce. Squirt with some nonfat whipped topping. Be careful! It’s hot!!

enJOY!
