The food brand brekki has introduced a new seasonal, ready-to-eat oatmeal product — Apples & Cinnamon. This new flavor offering, which was made with real fruit, is designed to align with autumn culinary consumer expectations.
brekki's Apples & Cinnamon oatmeal is formulated with whole grain oats, almond milk, and includes additional ingredients such as chia seeds, flax seeds, and buckwheat groats. It is marketed as a convenient breakfast or snack option that provides a source of protein and dietary fiber. To achieve the desired flavor without compromising on the nutritional profile of the product, brekki utilized cinnamon-soaked apples to evoke warmth and comfort.
