Cinnamon Carrot Apple Bread

I can’t help but want to dance through the end of September every time I take a bite of my cinnamon apple carrot bread 💃🏻🥕🍎🥕💃🏻

The onset of fall brings a crispness to the air that immediately makes me want to make my way to the nearest apple orchard. According to Ayurveda, apples are Rechana (laxative) in nature when they are cooked. Eating apples first thing in the morning helps ignite our internal flame (agni) and keeps it going strong throughout the day to aid in proper digestion🔥🔥🔥

Adding spices to our meals is especially important now as the majority of spices are warming in nature. Keeping the body warm from the inside out is critical for maintaining our immunity as the temperatures start to drop 💨🍂

A little sprinkle of Burlap and Barrel’s royal cinnamon will have you feeling like the proper king/queen that you are ✨👑✨
Sourced directly from spice farmers, Burlap and Barrel’s spices are especially potent and are filled with natural anti-inflammatory properties to help you fight infections and lower your blood sugar ❤️ ❤️ ❤️

This recipe was inspired by Illuminate Food’s weekly box! I can guarantee that it will spice up your life 💃🏻✨💃🏻
