How to Make Easy Vegan Apple Pie Oatmeal

Everyone loves to hate on oatmeal, but when prepared well, it can be a deliciously satisfying breakfast. The beauty of oatmeal is that keeps you full for hours, and if you’re like me and are trying to stay healthy in college, it’s the best bet to curb those cravings for greasy dining hall food between classes.

Even better, this recipe is great for a college student on a budget and on the go. With only 5 ingredients, it won’t break the bank, and it takes no time at all to make. Another perk is that has no added sugar, so you won’t get that sugar crash in the middle of your 8 am class.

This is the type of recipe that you won’t grow tired of after weeks because despite its few ingredients, the combination of flavors and natural sweetness makes it absolutely addicting.
