Ingredients:
1 cup (100 g) rolled oats (4 WW points)
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (0 WW points)
1 teaspoon baking powder (0 WW points)
Pinch of salt (0 WW points)
2 tablespoons raisins, rinsed in hot water (1 WW point)
5-6 pieces of dried apricots, rinsed in hot water and chopped (1 WW point)
1 egg white (0 WW points) (you can use the whole egg if desired, but this would add extra points)
1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk (0 WW points)
1/2 medium apple, chopped (0 WW points, for natural sweetness)
Vanilla extract (optional, 0 WW points)
Instructions:
Prepare the Ingredients:
Rinse the raisins and apricots in hot water, and chop the dried apricots into smaller pieces.
Chop the apple into small pieces.
Combine the Dry Ingredients:
In a microwave-safe mug, mix the rolled oats, cinnamon, baking powder, and pinch of salt together.
Add Wet Ingredients:
In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg white (or the whole egg), unsweetened almond milk, and vanilla extract (if using).
Add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients in the mug, stirring to combine.
Add the Fruits:
Stir in the raisins, dried apricots, and chopped apple pieces.
Microwave Cooking:
Microwave on high for 1 minute, then stir.
Microwave for another 1-2 minutes, or until the oatmeal has absorbed the liquid and has reached your desired consistency.
Check halfway through to avoid overflowing. If the mixture looks dry, add a splash more almond milk and continue cooking.
Serve:
Let it sit for a minute to cool, then enjoy your warm, low-point oatmeal mug!
WW Points Breakdown (Approx.):
1 cup rolled oats: 4 WW points
Raisins (2 tablespoons): 1 WW point
Dried apricots (5-6 pieces): 1 WW point
Egg white: 0 WW points (or whole egg = 2 WW points)
Apple (1/2 medium): 0 WW points
Unsweetened almond milk (1/2 cup): 0 WW points
Total for the recipe (using egg white): 6 WW points (for the whole mug)
Total for the recipe (using whole egg): 8 WW points
If you divide this into 2 servings, each serving would be 3 WW points (with egg white) or 4 WW points (with whole egg).
This is a very low-point, filling, and sugar-free breakfast or snack. You can also adjust the sweetness by adding a few drops of stevia or monk fruit sweetener, if you like it sweeter. Enjoy!
