If another morning of oatmeal or avocado toast is starting to sound routine to you, here’s a new way to do breakfast: dessert. It might sound crazy, but swapping out breakfast staples for sweeter treats is exactly what you might need. You can enjoy treats like cookies, dessert bars and even fruity crumbles for breakfast and still have a perfectly healthy breakfast.
We've got plenty of creative desserts that double as nutritious morning meals. Our Gluten-Free Raspberry Chocolate Bars are the perfect example. At first glance, these bars might look like a candy-inspired treat – but they're rich in flavonoid antioxidants, including antioxidants that can help protect your brain and encourage neuron and blood vessel growth.
And you've got to try our breakfast cookies. With variations like Blueberry Almond, Grain-Free Cranberry Orange and Carrot Cake, you can munch on these delicious cookies and still have a well-rounded breakfast. Each recipe features good-for-you nutrients – the Carrot Cake cookies feature a hearty dose of rolled oats to keep you feeling full, plus shredded carrots so you're eating veggies for breakfast. Plus, these cookies lack some of the ingredients that many dessert cookies would normally have. They contain no refined sugar and are sweetened just lightly with dates, so you won’t be snoozing from a blood sugar crash by 10 a.m.
Want to keep it classic? You can mix sweet and savory in our smart (and splatter-proof!) new Skillet Apple Pancake recipe. It'll totally change the way you make your morning pancakes, and it's perfect for batch cooking.
