Grain Free, Gluten Free Apple Cinnamon Baked Porridge
Are you rushed in the mornings but want something hearty and truly healthy for yourself and your kids to start the day? Often times that’s how we feel here. I usually have about a half-hour to get breakfast on the table since I have to get ready in the morning, have my quiet time, have a quiet time with my kids and start school on time. Because mornings are busy, I like to have a dish prepared the night before that I can heat up on the morning when it’s time to eat. My Grain-Free, Gluten Free Apple Cinnamon Baked Porridge is perfect for a quick breakfast that really satisfies!
Before you get to the recipe, I have to tell you a little secret. There is organic cauliflower in this breakfast! Don’t be scared at all. This is just a wonderful way to add a cruciferous veggie in the morning to start to get an antioxidant boost and start your day right! You won’t even taste it, I promise!
This breakfast is chock full of antioxidants like vitamin A for better vision, and vitamin c which is wonderful to help reduce oxidative stress. The fiber from the apples, cauliflower and coconut will also keep your digestive system functioning and the protein from the eggs along with the fat from the coconut oil will help you feel full and satisfied longer in the mornings.
Be sure to use organic Fuji apples, organic eggs, organic carrots and organic cauliflower in this dish. You don’t want to ingest pesticides and herbicides and ruin the good start to your morning. They can affect you more than you know!
Also, I wanted to let you know that I love getting my coconut oil (that has no coconut taste) and my shredded coconut here.
A food processor is your friend for this recipe. You will be so happy spending five minutes prepping veggies as opposed to a half hour! Trust me!
