🔪 Instructions

Step 1

Wash the apple, cut it into quarters and remove the core. 

It is not necessary to peel the apple. On the one hand, this will give you the beautiful vitamins and fiber in the peel and a much more excellent color to the finished yogurt breakfast. 

If you have kids, you may be familiar with the little darlings who don't particularly like the peel. In this grated form, which was my experience with my little girl, eating the apple peel in grated form was no problem. Yey!

Using a grater, grate the apple slices into a mixing bowl and set it aside. 

Step 2

Squeeze half a lemon and add a teaspoon of lemon juice, two teaspoons of honey, and a handful of raisins to the grated apple and mix. 

Once the lemon juice and honey are well combined with the grated apple, grab a cereal bowl or glass bowl and start layering your delicious yogurt breakfast.

Layer 1: Add a spoonful of oatmeal to the breakfast bowl.

Layer 2: Next, add two spoonfuls of yogurt. 

Layer 3: Add half of the prepared grated apple to the bowl. 

Repeat steps 1-3 until you've used up the yogurt and grated apple.

Layer 4: Another spoonful of oatmeal. 

Layer 5: Two spoonfuls of yogurt.

Layer 6: The second half of the grated apple. 

If needed, use more yogurt if you find it too dry. Sprinkle with additional raisins over your for garnishing.

And the delicious breakfast is ready to be devoured!

🥜 Substitutions

To prepare a lactose-free breakfast, replace the yogurt with a vegetarian alternative. Coconut yogurt works wonders in this case because it adds another delicious nutty flavor to the whole yogurt breakfast bowl. 

Don't like pure oatmeal? Then replace them with rice, buckwheat, or homemade Biscoff granola! Or try out these yummy peanut butter protein balls for a healthy start in the day!

If you fancy a breakfast with chia seeds, try this chia pudding with yogurt! Yum, Yum!

🍑 Variations

Vary by using different cereals or different types of fruit. Berries, for example, are a fantastic alternative to this recipe! 

🍽 Equipment

• Grater - for the apple
• Mixing bowl - for the grated apple
• Kitchen knife
• Cutting board
• Lemon squeezer
• Cereal bowl or glass bowl - for serving

🌡 Storage

I recommend preparing this apple yogurt fresh. Leaving grated apples for extended periods makes them brown, mushy, and not very appealing.
