Small pinch of sea salt

Coconut yoghurt & berries to top (optional)

Heat the coconut oil & maple syrup in a small pan on a low – medium heat. You need some heat to toast, but too much will burn your delicate ingredients. Once heated, add the oats, pepitas & sunflower seeds and stir gently. If your coconut flakes are not already toasted put them in at the same time & cook for 2 to 3 mins. Add the cinnamon, sea salt & vanilla and stir gently for another minute. Lastly add the apple, and the coconut flakes (if toasted) and stir to heat for around 30 seconds or so. Serve in a bowl with optional fruit and coconut yoghurt.

2 tsps coconut yoghurt

1 tbsp crumbled goat's fetta

1 tsp toasted pine nuts (optional)

Mix eggs with the yoghurt until just combined and stir in herbs and feta. Heat a non-stick pan to medium heat (add a little oil if needed). Add the eggs and once they start to set, use a spatula to gently fold inwards. Continue folding eggs over until almost cooked through, they will continue to cook once removed from the heat. Season with salt and pepper and add pine nuts if using.
