I'm thrilled to introduce a guest blogger for today's post! Kara and I connected on Instagram and she is truly inspiring. She gives the best healthy living tips/tricks and posts yummy recipes all the time. This recipe would be perfect to take with you to your Thanksgiving festivities. I hope you enjoy it!
Hi there, I’m Kara. Healthy{ish} dessert lover, certified nutrition coach, founder of Life Well Lived and creator of Transform: Nutrition Bootcamp {where I’ve helped hundreds of women change their nutrition + lose weight + change their lives}.
Recreating desserts to make them healthier and better for you is one of my favorite things to do. Desserts don’t have to be unhealthy {or healthy but taste horrible!}. I’m on a mission to show that you can have the best of both worlds → healthy desserts that taste amazing. This Gluten Free Apple Crisp passes the test.
Apple Crisp has always been one of my favorite fall desserts. The warm apples and the sweet, crispy topping. I love it all. Thanksgiving is only two weeks away and if you’re looking for an incredibly easy + delicious dessert for Thanksgiving, I’ve totally got you covered.
One of the best things about this apple crisp: it's healthy enough to eat for breakfast! True story. Add some almond yogurt, a drizzle of almond butter, and you have a delicious breakfast. But don’t just take my word for it, try it for yourself. You won’t be disappointed.
The key {aka secret ingredient} is using Seven Sundays Blueberry Chia Buckwheat Muesli. Side note: my family is now obsessed with their cereal. I love that they use simple ingredients, no refined sugars, and it’s delicious. Immediately, I knew after my first bite that I needed to use it for my next recipe. You can snag some here. If you choose not to use the muesli, I’ve included how to substitute below.
It’s my passion to show that nutrition can be easy + simple + delicious. I hope you enjoy this Gluten Free Apple Crisp as much as my family does.
