Homemade Toasted Apple Cinnamon and Oats Cereal - Healthy Snack Recipe

We have almost completely cut cold cereals out of our diet, aside from cheat/treat meals (to be totally honest I'm still such a sucker for cereals that have colored marshmallows in them...don't judge). There are just not very many options that are completely clean in their ingredients, and they tend to cost an arm and a leg if they are.

Flavorful, filling, healthy, and made from all clean ingredients, we think you'll like this homemade cereal of toasted apple cinnamon and oats.

Reasons why this is a smart choice for a light meal or snack:
- High in fiber
- No cholesterol
- Good source of clean carbohydrates
- No trans fat or weird ingredients
- Filling, tastes great

Ingredients

  • 1 Apple
  • 1 tsp Cinnamon
  • 1/4 Cup Oats
  • 1 tsp Vanilla
  • 1 tsp Sugar in the raw*
  • Optional pinch of salt, to taste
  • For later: 1 Cup Almond milk, unsweetened

*You can cut out the sugar in the raw for a few less calories and grams of sugar.

How to make your own homemade cereal

Slice and chop up the apple into little chunks, add to oven safe pan. Mix the oats, sugar, cinnamon, vanilla, and (optional) salt together well, then mix in the pan together with the apple chunks. Cook in the oven at 400 degrees for 30 minutes (more if you want the apples more chewy & oats more toasted, less if you want the apples to stay more crisp).

You can either wait for your apples and oats to cool, or you can just pour the milk over top of the warm oats if you're as impatient for snacks as I am - I think it tastes just as good either way. Add unsweetened almond milk (or milk of your choice) and you're ready to eat your homemade cereal.

How Often Should You Work Out Your Abs?

If you really want washboard abs, you've got to put the work in every day. Right? Actually, crushing your ab routine everyday might do more harm than good.  “People have the idea that if they do an hour of ab exercises that that’s going to chisel their abs and burn fat from that area—the old spot-reduction approach,” says Wayne Westcott, Ph.D., a professor of exercise science at Quincy College in Quincy, MA. But realistically, Westcott says you should train your core no more than three days a week. While by now you know that spot-reduction is a myth, when you overtrain your abs at lower intensities, core work becomes an endurance-type activity rather than a strength- and muscle-building activity, Westcott explains.

140-Pound Woman Joins The 1,000 Club

From nothingness, the universe was created. From a simple caterpillar, a butterfly emerges. A dorky teen grows up to be a fashion model, or a bodybuilder. The one constant in life is change, and in our  Transformation of the Week  series, AskMen is celebrating men and women who have turned their lives around through dedication, commitment and hard work. Is that you? Email us your story and pictures at askus@askmen.com and you could be featured next week! Reaching the 1,000-pound club is an impressive feat for any lifter man or woman. It is essentially a standard by which many lifters measure themselves to be “strong.” To join the club, add the total weight you can lift in a squat, bench press and deadlift. If the total is more than 1,000, you’re in. And if you’re not in, it does not mean you’re weak. In fairness, that’s a damn lot of weight. Which made it all the more impressive when Gabrielle Tucker announced on a Reddit thread that she had...
