The smell of maple always makes me think of cooler weather. Since so many were fans of my last baked oatmeal & well I wanted any excuse to try a new flavour, apple, pecan & maple was what I came up with & I hope you like it as much as I do!

Why it’s good for you

As the saying goes, an apple a day keeps the doctor away! Ok so maybe it’s not that powerful but it will definitely help keep the doctor away. Apple is high in pectin which is good for our gut.

Pecans are loaded with good fats with help fight any inflammation in the body!

I’m a loyal oats gal & I classify them as a real superfood. They are loaded with fibre & something which is called beta-glucan which helps balance blood sugar levels & keep cholesterol in check. They’re low FODMAP so great for those with a sensitive tummy (see notes below for modifications to make this low FODMAP). These are the sort of carbs we should be eating every day.

Notes

1. Keep the peel on the apple for extra fibre & well… it’s easier and looks better :)

2. Serve with yoghurt for protein & calcium

3. Keep in the fridge & reheat in the oven for ~1 min 30 secs in the mornings

4. It’s meant to be soft in the middle, not hard like slice & not too soft so you can’t slice & serve it!

5. Vegan: swap the eggs for flax eggs (ground flaxseeds & water), use milk alternative of your choice

6. Low FODMAP: swap apples for pears
