When temperatures start to dip down below 40 degrees, a hot breakfast helps take the chill off fall mornings! 

Originally inspired by Food by Mars, here’s a delicious recipe to try:

Paleo Cinnamon Apple Porridge

  • 3/4 cup water
  • 1/4 cup dairy free milk (almond, coconut, hemp, etc.)

  • 3 TBSP unsweetened coconut flakes
  • 1 TBSP hemp seeds 
  • 1 TBSP chia seeds

  • 1/2 small sweet tart apple (Granny Smith or Pink Lady), diced
  • 2-3 tsp Brown Swerve (a brown sugar substitute)
  • roasted chopped walnuts or pecans

Apple Pie Spice Mix:

Combine 2 TBSB ground cinnamon, 1 TBSP ground nutmeg, 1 1/2 tsp ground allspice, and 1 1/2 tsp ground cardamom or cloves. Store in an airtight container and stir into Cinnamon Apple Porridge or use when baking apple pie, apple crisp, or baked apples.
