There are lots of things you could eat for breakfast! Leftovers from a dinner, a turkey sandwich, toast with peanut or almond butter and fruit, or a more traditional breakfast. Here are a couple blog posts that talk about breakfast: /category/cooking-101/page/2/; /2014/09/better-breakfast-baked-egg-cups/
Here is a new idea that would work especially well for those of you who are trying to keep saturated fat and cholesterol low, or who need to be gluten free:
Oatmeal pancake:
Version one—preheat oven to 400 degrees F and spray a pie pan with non-stick spray such as Pam:
- 1/3 cup rolled oats (use a gluten free variety if you have celiac disease or other gluten intolerance)
- ¾ cup egg whites (the type you buy in a carton in the egg section of your grocery store
- 2 tablespoons raisins
- 1 teaspoon brown sugar
- ½ teaspoon vanilla
- 2 tablespoons walnuts
- 1/8 teaspoon cinnamon
- (Optional) 1/8 teaspoon salt
Mix all the ingredients together in a small bowl or measuring cup and pour into the pie pan. Bake at 400 degrees for 15 minutes, or until the egg whites are solid.
