Good morning and happy weekend!

Since I’m no longer capable of sleeping past 8am, I’ve accomplished a lot more today than I thought I would and even have time to say hello . And share our delicious Saturday morning breakfast! I’ve posted this one before but not for a long while. And since it turned out so nice today I thought it was high time to bring it back.

Apple Cinnamon Oatmeal with Maple “Frosting”

(serves 2)

• 1 apple
• 1 1/2 tbsp. maple syrup
• 1 tbsp. water
• cinnamon
• 2/3 cup of oats/milk/water
• 2 tbsp. ground flax seed
• vanilla extract
• 2 tbsp. dried cherries
• 2 tbsp. Greek yogurt (I like Fage 2%)
• 2 tsp. peanut butter

Start by chopping your apple into cubes, then add to a medium saucepan with 1 tbsp. of maple syrup, 1 tbsp. of water and a shake of cinnamon. Allow the apple to simmer for a few minutes until the syrup mixture starts to thicken. Add oats/milk/water and stir to combine. Add a splash of vanilla and the flax and continue to stir frequently until the ingredients have thickened into a nice oaty consistency.

Meanwhile, mix Greek yogurt with 1/2 tbsp. of maple syrup. Stir cherries into oats then transfer into two bowls. Top with maple yogurt frosting and a shake of cinnamon. Place a peanut butter spoon on top of each bowl to finish.

What a delightful breakfast it is. Although it is indeed getting a bit hot for oats! We had to sit under the fan with our coffees after eating . How sad.

So I’ve just come back from a good sunshiney run and some weight lifting in the gym. What a beautiful day it is. Just cleaning the house, taking a shower and my mum and dad should be here! My Dad needs to watch his football match at 2, so my mum and I will have to find something girly to do like go shopping or get pedicures. Oh darn .

See you again soon!
