3 No-Oat Breakfasts

Sorry for the delay foodies! Posting 3 new recipes today to make up for it. Gluten free vegan breakfast ideas with NO oats/oatmeal. Churro Flax Cereal included. SCROLL DOWN Y'ALL, and lemme know whacha think, k? ;)

Almond Butter and Jelly Waffle'wich

Ingredients:

Serves 1

• 2 gluten free waffles
• 1 tablespoon almond butter (or peanut butter)
• 1/2 cup fresh strawberries, sliced
• 1/2 cup fresh blackberries
• 1 sweet cherry, pitted

Directions:

1. Toast waffles according to package instructions.
2. In a food processor, lightly pulse the strawberries, blackberries, and the cherry until chunky yet spreadable. This will make your Real-Fruit Jam. (Or use 1-2 tbs jam/jelly from the grocery store. I am obsessed with St. Dalfour black raspberry spread.)
3. Spread jam on one waffle and almond butter on the other, then put together for an amazing waffle sandwhich!

Berry-Butter Toast

Ingredients:
Serves 1

• 2 slices gluten free bread 
• 1 tablespoon Earth Balance Whipped buttery spread, divided
• 1/2 cup fresh strawberries, sliced
• 1/2 cup fresh blackberries
• 1 sweet cherry, pitted

Directions:

1. In a food processor, lightly pulse the strawberries, blackberries, and the cherry until chunky yet spreadable. This will make your Real-Fruit Jam.
2. Toast your bread as desired, and immediately spread your butter on each slice.
3. Top with your fresh homemade Real-Fruit Jam, spread once more so the butter and jam swirl and mix, and take a nice crunchy sweet bite. MM!

Churro Flax Cereal

I tried out this recipe and made a few very minor adjustments. Try it! 

Ingredients:

Serves 6

• 1/2 cup mulled flaxseed
• 1/2 cup hulled hemp seeds
• 3 tablespoons cinnamon
• 1/2 cup pure apple juice
• 1 tablespoon coconut oil
• 3 packets stevia

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Blend flaxseed, hemp seed, cinnamon, and stevia in a food processor. Add in the apple juice and coconut oil until combined and mixed throughout.
3. Spread batter on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. Spread the dough so it is very thin, about 1/2 cm thick.
4. Bake for 15 minutes. Lower oven to 250 and bake for additional 10 minutes. 
5. Remove from oven, and using a sharp knife, cut squares about 1/2 inch by 1/2 inch.
6. Optional: sprinkle additional stevia and cinnamon on top.
7. Place back in the oven (now turned off, but still warm) for 1 hour, until it's crispy like cereal. If it is still soft, keep in oven until it breaks easily.
8. Serve with chilled unsweetened vanilla almond milk. I like to think of this as a fun healthy twist to Cinnamon Toast Crunch, but that's just me :)
