Apples & Cinnamon "Oatmeal"

By Coach Maria - Salus Nutritionist & Food Expert

Sometimes....only oatmeal will do.  But if you're gluten-free and do not have a bag of certified gluten free oats, this is a close second.

Nutrient-rich ingredients, a satisfying and delicious dish that can also be served as a sweet treat.  Easy and portable!

I like to make enough for the week to have on hand for quick breakfasts or after-dinner dessert.

Ingredients

serves 4

1 can of coconut milk (full fat)*

1/2 c cauliflower rice

1/2 c unsweetened shredded coconut

2 c apple (your choice), grated

Mix all ingredients in saucepan and simmer for 15-20 minutes.

Add optional add-ins if desired.
