This Apple Cinnamon Breakfast Bowl is:
- Packed with flavor: fresh apples, creamy yogurt, and warm spices combine into a delicious and satisfying morning bowl
- Versatile: use either thick creamy greek yogurt or cottage cheese for a high protein and filling morning meal
- Creamy & crunchy
- Easy to make ahead the night before
- Naturally gluten-free, and can easily be made vegan with a non-dairy yogurt
I love creating new ways to enjoy yogurt or cottage cheese for breakfast aside from just eating them plain. This recipe is awesome with cottage cheese as you get a great sweet/salty combination from the apples and granola.
