Almond butter apple oat cups tips

Oats are of course great for your morning meal as it has carbs, a bit of protein and lots of fibre. The apple has lots of vitamins and will make this whole cup taste like apple pie. The texture is soft and the golden outside is like eating a crunchie. You can substitute the maple syrup for honey if you like the health benefits and flavour it provides. They are great with a cup of coffee or tea too and much tastier than your regular bran muffin.
