I made this today and it is AWESOME!!! Totally filling and wonderful flavors. I used the almond butter and I sauted with a little water instead of the cooking spray. It softens the apple and won’t stick to the pan. I can not wait to try more recipes. Thanks so much for this site.

Thanks, Jaci but credit for this recipe goes to Kait. Thanks for posting it, Kait, and I’m so glad it helped you change up your son’s breakfast, Jaci!

My 14-year-old son has read Eat to Live with me and has made the conversion to healthy eating. He has been getting bored with the choice of “smoothie or oatmeal” for breakfast, no matter how we change it up with different ingredients. This recipe was the ticket! I sent him off to school this morning a happy, healthy and satisfied camper. And, yes, you can modify a recipe to suit how you eat and what you have on hand. The point is the great idea. Thanks Susan!

Susan, I think you rock! I love your blog and love this recipe. You have made my journey into healthier living and a vegan life style much, much easier. I have made many recipes from you. My current favorite is your steel cut oats with cherries. YUM!

My soap box moment: I hope you don’t listen to the nay-sayers who waste their time and yours with negative comments. Your replies to them are extremely patient! Don’t you ever just want to say modify and adjust people! You are cooking in your own kitchen, for pete’s sake.

The use of cooking spray is always optional. With very good non-stick cookware, you may not need it. Without non-stick cookware or cooking spray, your food may wind up stuck to the pan, but that’s a choice people are free to make.

One way to make non-stick spray very close to fat-free is to spray it on and then wipe it off with a paper towel. Very little of the oil will remain on the cookware or in the food.

My concern is not the nuts, but many of the recipes on this site call for the use of cooking spray, which is low-fat, but not non-fat. I find this misleading. I understood that all the recipes here could not contain any oils. Oil is the first ingredient in all cooking sprays, but manufacturers can claim they are non-fat if they contain less than 0.5g per serving, which is 1/3 of a second spray. That doesn’t sound very fat-free.

Don’t you love people who start griping and whining without even reading? Ugh.

Even vegetables have tiny amounts of fat in them, FYI.
