McDonald's Apple Cinnamon Walnut Oatmeal Review

Just the other day I was thinking how great it would be if McDonald's offered different flavors of oatmeal, especially one that had nuts. Imagine my surprise when I opened the latest arrival of coupons and found that McDonald's was now offering Apple Cinnamon Walnut Oatmeal. It sounded absolutely delicious, but would it be as good as the Fruit and Maple Oatmeal?

I was a bit concerned that I didn't smell the oatmeal on my way home from the drive-thru. I had expected to be greeted with the aroma of cinnamon upon receiving my bag at the window. However, that wasn't the case. Even when I opened the container, the small wasn't very strong. I stirred the oatmeal around before taking a bite. I was a bit disappointed that the oatmeal didn't seem to have much flavor. I stirred it up a bit more and found there was more flavor, but still not much. My biggest disappointment though was the walnuts. There was probably one entire walnut throughout the entire bowl. The pieces were finely chopped and were honestly quite bitter against the other flavors of the oatmeal.

I would give McDonald's Cinnamon Apple Walnut Oatmeal 3 out 5 stars. I do plan to try it again, but I like the Fruit and Maple Oatmeal a lot better. I still recommend giving it a try and seeing how you like it. After all, it is a much healthier option that some of the other breakfast options McDonald's offers.
