Hellloooo Autumn and hellloooo spiced apple pancakes (and HELLO cover of the new magazineā¦ hehehe) šš„š„¹āØThis recipe was really fun to create because it allowed me to take a very conventional, well-loved breakfast and add a health element that not only elevated the flavour but the nutritional composition. āØStewed apples are a great accompaniment to breakfast, not only because they are warming but because they are gentle on the digestion and actually provide wonderful benefits to your gastrointestinal system.
Cooking apples breaks down the cell walls, making them softer and thus easier to digest, as well as breaks down the starches and sugars, resulting in a slower release of glucose in the bloodstream. āØCompared to raw apples, stewed are lower in acidity, which makes them less irritating on the stomach lining.
Additionally, the soluble fibre in apples acts as a prebiotic, which acts as a food source for your beneficial gut bacteria, as well as providing flavonoids, polyphenols and other antioxidants and anti-inflammatory compounds, leading to a reduction of inflammation in the digestive tract.
I hope you love this one as much as I do!
You can pick up a copy of the magazine and recipe in any store or view it online š
