Method
Why I Like this Recipe
I make this quite often because it’s easy and works every time. The texture stays soft, the apples add enough sweetness on their own, and it keeps well in the fridge. I usually just cut a slice the next day and have it for breakfast.
Tips and Variations
- You can swap the vanilla protein powder for cinnamon, caramel, or unflavoured, depending on what you have.
- Agave syrup or a low-calorie sweetener works instead of honey if you prefer.
- A handful of chopped nuts adds a bit of crunch.
- Pears work nicely in place of apples for a softer texture.
- You can mix in raisins or dried cranberries for extra sweetness.
- For a dairy-free version, use a plant-based yoghurt.
- A spoonful of applesauce makes it even more moist.
- I like serving it warm with yoghurt or skyr on the side.
