  Breakfast cookies…
  
  I wanted to bake something portable for breakfast.
  
  My initial thought was to do a banana bread, but my kids are hot and cold with banana bread these days. Gotta mix things up.
  
  I decided to make these cookies instead. I am calling them breakfast cookies because they have whole grains, banana, and Multi-grain Cheerios. Breakfast things, right? Our “healthy” breakfast cookies ingredients also include flaxseed meal and my personal fave, almond butter. Alternately, you could substitute the almond butter for peanut butter. Your taste, your call.
  
  These cookies are not overly sweet, but just sweet enough that you will feel like you are having a treat for breakfast.

  I love the smell of cooked apples.
  
  I feel very Suzy Homemaker when I can time that scent to when the family walks in the door. Here is a recent dessert timed just right for when the school bus did a drop off and left me with two hungry boys.
  
  Healthy Slow Cooker Apple and Pear Crisp
  
  Ingredients
  - 1/2 cup brown sugar
  - 1/4 cup coconut palm sugar (or more brown sugar)
  - 1 cup rolled oats
  - 1/2 cup white whole wheat flour
  - 4 tablespoons coconut oil (slightly soft. If yours is solid, microwave for a few seconds)
  - 3-4 cups sliced apples and pears (I left the peels on because mine were organic. Hopefully I convinced you to go organic after this post.)
  - 3/4 cup water
  - 1/4 cup sugar
  - 1 tsp. cinnamon
  Directions
  1. Stir the first 4 ingredients together in a medium-sized bowl.
  2. Add coconut oil and use a fork to scramble it up a bit and make soft crumbs.
  3. Combine the apples and pears in a large bowl. Stir in half the crumbs, mixing to coat all the apples.
  4. Pour into your pre-sprayed bowl of the slow cooker.
  5. Whisk water, sugar and cinnamon together. Pour over apple/pear mixture.
  6. Top with remaining crumb mixture.
  7. Place a paper towel over the bowl before putting lid on slow cooker. This will keep it “crisp”.
  8. Cook on low for 2 hours.
  A few pictures to help your process…
  
  Mix up the first four ingredients.
  
  Add your coconut oil.
  
  Chop your apples and pears.
  
  Fruit and crumble mixture.
  
  Don’t forget your paper towel to get rid of excess moisture.
  
  Perfect.
  
  I also made this coconut whip cream recipe.

- Blueberry Crumble Breakfast Bread

  When I get tapped out of breakfast ideas for the kids, I get the creative juices flowing and take a peek in the cupboard. I had some almond meal from Trader Joes that I was almost gone so I figured I would make some sort of baked good with that. Found some frozen blueberries….and a little white whole wheat flour…. Ok, blueberry muffins. Done.
  
  Except when I look a bit further for my cupcake liners I have two left. I can almost hear the wah wah wah in the background.
  
  Shift breakfast idea….Bread. Done. Not banana bread. Kids will kill me. Hence the birth of the:
  
  Blueberry Crumble Breakfast Bread
  
  So not your grandma’s banana bread.
  
  This actually turned out better than I thought they would.
  
  Here is how things went:
  
  First my liquids…fyi, If your coconut oil is solid, you will need to melt it down a bit in the microwave before combining with the rest of your ingredients.
  
  Whisk in your almond flour. Bonus shot of protein. Score.
  
  You have heard of white whole wheat flour, right? Still has the nutrients, but can fool the naysayers.
  
  Keep stirring. It will get thick and dough-like.
  
  Spread into your loaf pan.
  
  Here is where the magic happens.
  
  About 35 minutes give or take. Depends on your oven.
  
  Blueberry Crumble Breakfast Bread
  
  Ingredients:
  
  2 eggs
  1/3 cup honey
  3 tablespoons melted coconut oil
  1 teaspoon vanilla
  1 teaspoon baking soda
  1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  1/2 cups almond flour (ground up almonds or Trader Joe’s has a fantastic inexpensive almond meal)
  2 cups white whole wheat flour
  2/3 cup frozen blueberries
  
  Procedure:
  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray a standard loaf pan.
  2. In a medium mixing bowl use either a whisk combine the eggs, honey, butter, vanilla, baking soda, and sea salt.
  3. With a spatula fold in the almond flour and 1/3 cup blueberries.
  4. Batter will be very thick like cookie dough. Stir baby! Spread into loaf pan.
  5. Top with remaining 1/3 cup blueberries.
  6. Bake for 34-38 minutes. Toothpick should come out clean. Let it cool a bit before slicing.
  Breakfast of champs.
  
  Healthy alternative when you are so over banana bread.
