What I Eat: Five Minute Apple Bake

 Dessert or breakfast. Doesn't matter because this dish is delicious! Bonus: tons of soluble fiber.

In order to stay in remission from Crohn's, I eliminate all gluten and corn, and gluten and corn derivatives from my diet. This recipe fits in well. The oats are gluten free. I use almond flour to replace the traditional wheat flour that this recipe would normally use. The almond flour also lends a nice nutty flavor.

Ingredients:

1 red and 1 green apple (peeled, cored and cut into bite size pieces)

1 and 1/2 Tablespoon coconut oil

1/3 cup raw gluten free oats

2 Tablespoons brown sugar

3 Tablespoons almond flour (divided in half)

1/8 teaspoon salt

cinnamon to taste (about 1/2 teaspoon)

Directions:

1. Melt coconut oil in microwave for 30 seconds

2. In separate bowl, combine oats, brown sugar, half the almond flour, salt

3. Add melted coconut oil to oat mixture, set aside

4. In separate bowl combine apples with other half of almond flour

5. In separate microwave bowl, spread half of the oat mixture

6. Pour apples on top of oat mixture

7. At this point I add some more cinnamon on the apples (optional)

8. Top with other half of the oat mixture

9. Bake in microwave for 5 minutes

Bowl will be very hot at end of 5 minutes! Be careful taking it out!

For super duper dessert top with vanilla ice cream
