Oat Bran with Cinnamon Apples

My new favorite breakfast:  Oat  Bran with cinnamon apples.

Oat bran comes from the Oat Grain and it is the layer just beneath the hull of the grain. It's a little higher in its nutrition values, with more protein and fiber than oatmeal. Read more about oat bran, here.

This recipe is hearty and healthy and can be made in about 10 minutes. It's great for picky little eaters, too, my baby loves it!

I like to top mine with a little greek yogurt to make it extra creamy. Cottage cheese would go well here, too.

Ingredients

Scale1x2x3x
