Try This
Feeling a little antsy waiting for the dish to cool before diving in? It’s totally natural, especially with those amazing smells consuming your kitchen. This is why we suggest serving it with a little non-dairy milk poured over the top - think oatmeal or cream of wheat style.
I love apple crumble and I don't know why I never thought to make an apple crumble breakfast bake before! I am not sure that I ever tried millet before so I am curious about the taste but it is so cool that it has fiber and magnesium and that it is good for your blood sugar as well! I love foods that are good for your blood sugar because they tend to take longer to absorb so you stay full longer!
Hello Olivia,
Apple crumble is SO delicious, having it for breakfast almost seems wrong, but when it's a recipe that's packed full of nutrients, it's a great way to start the day!
Enjoy!
