With breakfast buffets lined with muffins and pastries, it’s no wonder we are conditioned to want sweet for breakfast. But when cutting out gluten and grains we aren’t left with much else than eggs and smoothies for breakfast. These are great, healthy options, but often leave me craving the massive coffee shop sweet roll.
All the nuts and seeds in this recipe are ground in the food processor to give the texture of an oatmeal, so you can enjoy the chewy goodness without the carbs and grains.
Don’t be intimidated by the long list of ingredients (full of protein and healthy fats). . . these are really simple to make using a food processor. Enjoy for breakfast, a snack, or even dessert!
