     Why Is This Good For Me?

    Vegetarian/ Gluten free/ Refined sugar free

    This apple, cinnamon & coconut loaf is so incredibly delicious! Take a slice as a guilt free snack or enjoy with a relaxing cup of tea… you don’t need to add any toppings as the flavours are perfect the way they are but if you want to have as a dessert I suggest adding a scoop of natural yogurt or coconut yogurt and berries. I used H2Coco coconut oil because of it’s lovely flavour and it is not overpowering in the loaf. Using coconut oil for baking is a great choice as it can be heated up at high temperatures. I would suggest using coconut oil instead of oils like canola, corn and soy oils as these turn rancid when heated and should not be consumed.

    Apples are packed with soluble fibre, because of the fibre  you will feel fuller for longer making apples the perfect sweet snack. They are also a good source of the immune boosting vitamin C, contain antioxidants and pectin.

    Cinnamon helps to regulate blood sugar levels in the body which is especially beneficial for type 2 diabetes. Cinnamon also helps to improve circulation and is full of antioxidants. To get your daily intake, try adding half a teaspoon on some natural yogurt and berries or add to your smoothies in the morning.
