It's finally December, so definitely not too early to start getting festive!
We love oats for breakfast, and by simply adding some apples and cinnamon to the creamy oats- it gives it a subtle festive makeover to really get in the spirit. Any excuse!
If you're a fan of apple pie or apple crumble- this recipe will definitely win you over. It's warm and comforting - perfect for those cold December days.
As always, this recipe is super quick and easy to make. You can use whatever milk or dairy free alternative you prefer or have at home. And feel free to mix up your toppings or add any extras.
Adding nuts into the recipe will provide a brain-boosting kick of omega-3 fats to kickstart your morning on a productive note. Mixed in with the oats, it'll help sustain the energy until your next snack or meal. This breakfast bowl is also high in protein - featuring an impressive 12g per portion. Providing you with a well-balanced meal with perfect amounts of the three main macros.
Making the apples doesn't have to take forever in the oven either, so we've added a shortcut for you. All you need is 5 minutes in a frying pan to soften them nicely.
If you're meal prepping for the week ahead, simply make more apples than you need and store them in a sealed container. Then, top your fresh oats with the apple slices you've already prepared.
It's best to have your multi alongside your food in the morning. Taking your multivitamin with breakfast can also help with boosting the absorption of the fat-soluble vitamins in the formula.
