Apple & cinnamon breakfast bites
Ingredients
- 2 apples pealed and grated can substitute with pears, frozen berries or other fresh fruit
- 1 banana
- 2 cup traditional rolled organic oats
- 1 egg whisked (remove if required due to allergies)
- 1 cup coconut milk
- ½ cup raisins
- ¼ cup coconut flour
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds optional
- 2 – 4 tablespoon maple syrup or honey optional
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
Method
Step 1. Preheat oven to 200C and line a square baking tin with parchment paper.
Step 2. To make these quick I use a food processor. First I pop in chopped apple, banana, egg, coconut milk and maple syrup (if using) and blend to combine. Alternatively if making by hand mash the banana into a bowl, add the grated apple, the whisked egg and coconut milk and stir well with a wooden spoon.
Step 3. Once combined add all the dry ingredients to the bowl, (oats, coconut flour, chia seeds, raisons and cinnamon) and mix well with a food processor or by hand.
Step 4. Spoon the mixture into the prepared tin and pop in the oven for 30
Step 5. Depending on your oven you may need to grill the top of the slice at the end of the cooking time for a minute to brown the top. Oats don’t brown as well as other baking flours.
Step 6. Keeps fresh in the fridge for 5 days and can be stored in the freezer.

Recipe Info
Tip: These bites are packed with oats, fruit, healthy fats and protein and unlike most cereals, there isn’t a major sugar rush (and crash) as its all refined sugar free. Traditional rolled oats contain more soluble fibre than any other grain and release energy slowly. They contain multiple nutrients and interestingly they soothe nerves (oats have traditionally been used as a remedy for treating anxiety and insomnia). So a good recipe for first day back at school jitters.
