Delicious No-Oats Oatmeal

Granted it’s not oatmeal but what else to call it? Creamy and satisfying, nutrient-dense and RESTART friendly, this paleo cereal made itself a permanent part of my breakfast rotation. Add “cake-inspired” toppings for visual delight, gratifying contrast of texture and increased nutrient-density.

  • Carrot Cake
  • Lemon Blueberry
  • Apple Pie

What other combinations could you try? Isn’t it a whole new spin on breakfast?!

Carrot Cake Pancakes

Delicious, nutritious! I love the fact that I can put 3 cups of carrots into breakfast and my family will gobble it up. As always, I make a double-batch to freeze for later in the week.

I originally found this recipe on Pinterest, but significantly reduced the sugar and used whole-wheat flour.

Variations:
• Use half grated carrot and half grated apple
• Use grated carrot and grated raw beet
• Use only whole-wheat flour but increase the milk by 1/4 – 1/3 cup
• Serve with vanilla Greek yogurt, or plain Greek yogurt mixed with honey and top with chopped nuts of choice
