Adding a grated apple to the mix provided both sweetness and tang - and my boys can't pick out the lumps of fruit! Quebec apples are plentiful and fresh all winter long and are my fruit of choice for breakfast.
Applesauce cuts down on the fat in the recipe and also adds more flavour. If maple syrup is scarce, substitute honey or agave syrup in its place.
