Warming apple and cinnamon oats

This nourishing apple and cinnamon oats recipe is perfect on a cool Winter’s morning.

Not only are these oats delicious but they are also packed with nutrients. Cinnamon is a delicious and warming spice that also helps to regulate blood sugar and apple adds natural sweetness. We have also added superfood lucuma powder which creates a creamy texture and enhances nutrient profile.

If you’re a little time poor, you can buy organic apple puree from health food stores and select supermarkets to add to your oats. We recommend checking the packaging to ensure it does not contain any added sugar. Alternatively, you can stew the apples in advance of making this recipe.
